Slate Money - Theories on Trump’s Trading Frenzy

This week: It was revealed that Donald Trump’s investment portfolio made a stunning 3,600 trades in one quarter. Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck, discuss theories on why the hell anyone would do this and whether it’s just weird or actually sinister. Then, they’ll get into the question of if it’s actually possible to “vote with your dollars” in the wake of the news that the famously sustainable brand Everlane is likely being sold to fast fashion behemoth Shein. And finally, they examine the shift in the online media landscape and the rise of the clipping economy.
