The new economic ideas Trump advisers are floating for second term — to campaign’s chagrin
By Zachary Halaschak
April 29, 2024 4:07 pmTrumpworld is flush with economic advisers pushing different policy proposals for a possible second term — to the annoyance of the Trump campaign.
Top GOP advisers and those likely to gain places in a second Trump administration are jockeying to advance various economic policy proposals, some of which result in disagreement among the cast of characters coming in and out of former President Donald Trump‘s residence at Mar-a-Lago.
Advisers see a second Trump term as a way to undo some of the economic changes made during the Biden administration and also enact policies that would represent a major sea change in U.S. economic and monetary policy on the global stage.
The posturing and public discussions of some of the ideas have angered top staff on the Trump campaign, which is trying to focus squarely on winning the coming election, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The Trump campaign has emphasized that none of the policy proposals discussed in the media are cannon unless they come from Trump or an authorized member of his campaign team.
Alex Conant, a GOP strategist and a partner at Firehouse Strategies, told the Washington Examiner that the campaign watching these policy debates among Trump’s inner circle play out publicly is likely an annoyance.
“As somebody who has worked on a lot of presidential campaigns, whenever the advisers start talking to the media instead of the campaign, it creates headaches,” he said. “You want everything that’s out there publicly to be what the campaign supports and advancing the candidate’s agenda.”
