This is a different take on economics and Trump.

This "economist" has written only one book that reportedly blames inflation on everything except the government printing money. Some of the reviewers on Amazon called it "Liberal BS."
The anti-Trump people tend to spin facts in the worst possible way for Trump. I'm sure the same thing was true for Biden and Obama.
This video has ideas that ring true, but might be half truths and don't necessarily see the whole picture.
I understand why people hate Trump. He is a troll, a narcissist, and a bully. But he can also be a kind man that cares passionately about helping the country.. He came along at a time when Americans wanted someone strong to stand for them. Despite his personality flaws, he uses his influence to get things done. The country is going broke and has many problems, so Trump is the strong man that people need to fix things. Despite his flaws, I see Trump as a net positive.
If you privately own a business, you may think that you are your own boss, but you really work for your customers. If you don't provide the customers with what they need for a price that they are willing to pay, you won't have a business. In some businesses, you need to innovate or die. Corporations are no different. You may say that corporations work for the shareholders, but the companies are really working for their customers. The shareholders are just the investors.
Having people employed by the government and government regulations aren't necessarily a good thing unless they are doing positive work and not hindering the free market or just wasting resources, in which case getting rid of those things frees up resources that can be put to more productive use.
The fact the corporations curry favor from the government is a sign of a government that is too powerful with too much control. I don't doubt that there is corruption, since all major companies have lobbyists, but big government is the problem. The countries that are closer to socialism are always more corrupt because their governments have too much power.
Private individuals donate to politicians that they politically agree with. Companies are the same way. Some companies do benefit massively from government spending, but many private individuals are also dependent upon government spending, so they vote and donate accordingly.
Because of political influence, I have long thought that only private citizens should be allowed to donate to campaigns.
