Trump's Potential Economic Team Is 'Least Impressive' In History, Says Economist Justin Wolfers: He Will 'Make Up Policy On The Fly'
Renowned economist Justin Wolfers recently expressed his skepticism about the competency of Donald Trump's economic team and the potential impact of his policies.
著名經濟學家賈斯汀·沃爾弗斯最近對特朗普的經濟團隊的能力和其政策的潛在影響表示懷疑。
What Happened: Wolfers took to X on Wednesday, to voice his concerns about the economic team that would serve under Trump if he were to get re-elected. He stated, "The list of economists who've said they will willingly serve under Trump is the least impressive list of economists in history." He further criticized Trump's approach to policy-making and the lack of a competent economic team.
發生了什麼：沃爾弗斯週三在X上發聲，表達了他對特朗普連任後服務的經濟團隊的擔憂。他說：「願意在特朗普底下服務的經濟學家的名單是歷史上最不起眼的經濟學家之一。」 他進一步批評了特朗普的決策方法以及缺乏能幹的經濟團隊。

Trump's going to make up policy on the fly, and he doesn't have a remotely competent econ team. No serious Republican economist will work with him. pic.twitter.com/87eR33Ww0B— Justin Wolfers (@JustinWolfers) August 14, 2024
「願意在特朗普底下服務的經濟學家的名單是歷史上最不起眼的經濟學家之一。」
特朗普將即興制定政策，而他沒有一個擁有足夠能力的經濟團隊。沒有一個認真的共和黨經濟學家會和他合作。pic.twitter.com/87eR33Ww0B賈斯汀·沃爾弗斯（@JustinWolfers）2024年8月14日
Wolfers' comments come amidst a wave of discussion among economists regarding Trump's proposal to eliminate federal taxes on Social Security income. While some economists, like Steve Moore, co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, have supported Trump's proposal, others have expressed concerns about the potential economic risks associated with his policies.
沃爾弗斯的評論出現在經濟學家圍繞特朗普提出取消社保所得聯邦稅的提議展開討論之際。雖然像「釋放繁榮委員會」的聯合創建者史蒂夫·摩爾這樣的經濟學家支持特朗普的提議，但其他經濟學家對他的政策可能帶來的潛在經濟風險表示關切。
Why It Matters: Trump's economic policies have been a subject of debate among economists. A group of 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists had earlier warned about the potential economic risks if Trump were to be re-elected for a second term. They cautioned that a second Trump term could lead to a resurgence of inflation.
爲什麼這很重要：特朗普的經濟政策一直是經濟學家們爭辯的話題。此前，16位諾貝爾經濟學獎獲得者警告稱，如果特朗普再次當選連任，可能會帶來潛在的經濟風險。他們警告稱，特朗普的第二任期可能會導致通貨膨脹的回升。
Furthermore, a survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal suggested that a potential win for Trump in the upcoming presidential election could result in a surge in inflation, deficits, and interest rates. Analysts have also warned that Trump's "America-first" policies could lead to a surge in global inflation.
此外，華爾街日報進行的一項調查顯示，特朗普有望在即將到來的總統選舉中獲勝，這可能會導致通貨膨脹、赤字和利率期貨的激增。分析師們還警告說，特朗普的「美國優先」政策可能會導致全球貨幣的激增。
Wolfers' post on X reflects the concerns shared by many economists about the potential economic impact of Trump's policies and the competency of his economic team.
沃爾弗斯在X上發帖反映了許多經濟學家對特朗普政策的潛在經濟影響以及他的經濟團隊的能力所共有的關切。
