America is experiencing a productivity miracle

> This was despite Donald Trump’s best efforts to the contrary in the form of anti-growth tariffs, mass deportations and attacks on institutions like the Fed.

Why didn’t the author even take into consideration that Trump actions might have played a positive role?

The writings around economics is always this biased, it’s annoying.

Same goes with Argentina with Milei, for example: according to everyone a few years ago his initiatives should have been catastrophic… and yer nowadays Argentina is doing incredibly better and it’s essentially an unsung miracle success.
