That is exactly correct. I have sold real estate for 25 years and the real estate people know nothing about economics. And fool can make money in real estate.

That is a perfect example of how the right wing makes deductions based in inferior analysis. They just say it.

They make a connection in their mind that supports their claim and it is just made up. There is no real effort to examine cause and effect.

< Trump has a better grasp of economics than anyone else who was running. Because he has lived it.>

Trump operated in a very narrow field - real estate development and retail....these fields don't provide a broad macroeconomic exposure.

And, I'm sure you've seen the index analysis had he put his inherited money in an index fund he would have been much further ahead rather than be left to his own business devices. I think he has an average competency in economics.

I think he has an average competency in economics. Economics operates differently when you start out very wealthy. It certainly doesn't give you any special insight.
