I spit out my drink when I saw “Trump is an economist”
Cope.

In that case, I'm also a physicist and mathematician (I'm neither and Trump's not an economist).

He's at the head of the global economy, "trained" as you say. You're nobody, yet say it's he that knows nothing about economics.
Cope.

You're free to use words differently than everyone else, but it makes you look ridiculous. Undergrad training, without subsequently working in the field, is not generally considered sufficient. Like I said, I'm not a physicist or mathematician, although I have better claim to those labels than Trump does to "economist".
Why does it matter to you that Trump be an economist? He can just be a successful businessman who understands something that most economists are missing.
reply
Yeah, this conversation went way off the rails and stopped becoming a good faith discussion.
As an undergrad, I majored in economics from a university that had 3 Nobel Prize winners in economics on its faculty.
I’m not an economist nor would I ever purport to be one. I don’t even think Trump himself has ever claimed to be an economist. This is just silly.
reply
I don't think it was a good faith discussion from the beginning.
You're the one hyper focused on it, because you got exposed not knowing the first thing about how currencies factor into this.
My point is you and your "training" don't know what the hell you're talking about, relative to him and his resources... But that doesn't stop you status seeking on the internet.

Can’t tell if you’re trolling or being serious.

That's what I thought, you got nothing.
