9 分钟Donald Trump's victory in this year's election had a lot to do with how many Americans feel about the US economy (surprise: not good). But Simon Rabinovitch, US Economics Editor for The Economist, argues that, despite the turmoil of the past few years, America's economy remains the envy of the world. Today on the show, Simon explains why that is, but also why he believes a Trump presidency puts America's 'economic exceptionalism' at risk.

A big part of Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election came down to the economy.
A vast majority of Americans think that the economy is not working in their interests.
Simon Rabinovich is US Economics editor for the weekly magazine the Economist.
The thing though, is that when you look at America, relative to other rich world countries, to other developed advanced economies, America is doing and has done remarkably well.
There's a disconnect there, right?
Millions of Americans, personal economies are not feeling good, which is partly why Donald Trump made huge gains with voters across the country.
But as Simon points out, the US Economy as a whole is doing really well.
Today on the show, Simon lays out his argument for why the US Economy has been and continues to be the envy of the world, but also why with the election of Donald Trump, America's economic exceptionalism could be at risk.
