international trade: Having spent time with him and virtually all of the other candidates, I would say that he has as firm a grasp of international trade as any candidate, Laffer said a breakfast at The Podesta Group, according to MSNBC. He clearly understands foreign investments, foreign locations, foreign businesses. The far-right Louisianan wrote, Great to meet with President Reagan former economic advisor Art Laffer to discuss the benefits of tax reform! Soon after, *The Hill* reported that Laffer publicly defended Donald Trump trade policies. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has the best chance of doing good trade policy, added Laffer, who was an economic policy adviser to former president Ronald Reagan…. Laffer also said that Trump tax plan would be phenomenal for the U.S. The problem with both of these stories – Laffer vouching for Trump and Scalise discussing tax policy with Laffer – is that they treat the Republican economist as a credible figure. Circling back to some of our previous coverage of Laffer reputation, regular readers may recall that the Republican economist rose to GOP prominence in the 1980s by pushing the celebrated-but-wrong idea that tax cuts pay for themselves. He not.
