Last night in Milwaukee, Donald Trump gave his first speech since facing an assassination attempt and accepted the Republican nomination for the presidency. The bizarre, if entertaining, lead-up to Trump’s entrance featured quite the cast of characters, including Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, and Dana White. There’s a lot to respond to from his 93-minute address, and you may not agree with me on every issue, but in my view, sound economics has never been a strength of politicians in either major party. Whenever I wade into more overtly political waters, I try to call balls and strikes as fairly as I can. We may not know who the candidates will be by next week, but this is my honest reaction as things currently stand.
