Economist Magazine: Surging Economy Under Trump Only Due to 'Fortunate Timing'
Newsbusters ^ | November 20, 2017 | P.J. Gladnick

The American economy is doing great as reflected in the fact that blue collar wages are surging. However, please don't give President Donald Trump any credit for this. He is merely the passive recipient of "fortunate timing."

That is the theme of the November 14 story in The Economist that can't even get around to giving Trump even begrudging credit for the economic growth that has taken place since he entered office. This is probably due to the extreme antipathy demonstrated by The Economist towards Trump as was illustrated by their cover featuring him throwing a Molotov cocktail soon after his inauguration. As we shall see, Trump's policies mattered little in what The Economist portrays as just a grand coincidence:

As long as I have been old enough to read it the Economist has basically been a socialist rag.

I do not think the Economist has any economists writing for them. Maybe Paul Krugman, bout then he isn’t really an economist anyway.

It was a fine, pro free enterprise publication at one time.

Yep. I was a long-time subscriber, and for most of that time it was a great mag. By now, though, everyone who understood anything about American politics is long gone and those articles have come to be ignorant embarrassments. The magazine itself is useful only insofar as the reader wants to hear the latest pablum from EU globalists. In short, not worth paying for.
