pressure and they can afford to suck up the pressure and just and allow him to wear him self out mr lucas do you think that if these the policies have a negative impact on american people if they drive up costs for american consumers manufacturers then could this backfire politically for donald trump do you think. oh it could but we're talking about the trump administration already donald trump on a tight rope here and that is that the american economy right now as well as much of the global economy is actually doing quite well i disagree a bit with i are in the sense that i don't think it's leading to an overwhelming surge in approval for trump i think it's more that with his base of supporters who are a minority maybe thirty thirty five percent in america it gives them something to shout about we're still doing well we can take on anybody china canada and when but if the economy goes down before november if the terrorists begin to buy before november that of course that advantage erodes i think the gamble here is by trump and his advisors is look we may suffer from the tariffs but if it
