Swamp Notes: Trumponomics 2.0

The Republicans swept to power in Tuesday’s election, winning the White House, the Senate, and probably the House of Representatives. Voter dissatisfaction with the economy played a big part in their success. The FT’s Washington bureau chief James Politi and global business columnist Rana Foroohar join this election week episode of Swamp Notes to explain why Democrats failed to deliver a convincing economic message, and what Donald Trump’s disruptive agenda could mean for the US economy.


Mentioned in this podcast:

Wall Street rejoices as the bell tolls for Biden-era regulation

Economists warn Trump’s policies will trigger inflation

Bitcoin hits record above $75,000 as crypto industry celebrates Trump win
