Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Offers a Unified Theory of Trump - Bloomberg BusinessWeek
Jan 16, 2026 Latest Videos from Bloomberg Radio
Daron Acemoglu, Institute Professor in the Department of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss his 'Theory of Trump' as the second year of President Trump's second term begins. Acemoglu argues that most of the administration’s actions — including crypto dealings, the appointment of unqualified allies to high-level positions, unconstitutional deportations and National Guard deployments, and the ouster of a Latin American head of state — all follow a certain logic, as President Trump looks to expand executive power. Acemoglu speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
