      Can you truly win the election without minorities and young people?

      Methinks absolutely not.

    • None of them are real economists.

    Well most of them are women, it's not like he was planning on listening to them anyways.

      Eight of the nine people are women.
      Seven of those women are named Steve.

    it was widely noted that it was a list of 13 white dudes.

    has released a list of nine “ECONOMIC ADVISORY COUNCIL ADDITIONS.”

    Thirteen for the Money-lords in their Street of Walls,
    Nine for Sycophants doomed to die,
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
    In the Land of Washington where the Shadows lie.
    One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
    One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
    In the Land of Washington where the Shadows lie.”

      When addressing the NAACP, he uses the original Black Speech.

    Semi-serious question: Is there any actual overlap between these two sets: (1) Donald Trump supporters and (2) voters who scrutinize the economic advisory team of presidential candidates for expertise and/or diversity? I can’t believe there is.

      No, in fact, I would argue it’s the opposite. Some egghead academic with a PHD doesn’t know anything about creating jobs. A CEO does.

      See? Easy. Just ignore the fact that economic policy is very different than running a particular company.

      He’s not playing to his supporters, he’s playing to his advisors who keep pressuring him to act more presidential. I doubt that he plans to meet with or discuss policy with any of these people; he probably just had an intern Google a list of Republican business executives and email it to the press corps.

    He really should declare his cabinet now, because it would be super disappointing to have to guess at who he might have picked in January.

      When asked this morning when he would declare his cabinet, Trump thought for a minute, then said, “Ikea, probably. They have real good deals.”

    Nice. At last he’s removed the last logical excuse any reasonable person could possibly have for not voting for him, definitely.

    I do wonder, however, whether any of these people actually know they’ve been named to Trump’s Econotorium.

      His Supreme Court picks were caught off guard, and one of them insults Trump on Twitter pretty often. I would be shocked if these economic advisors knew about this ahead of time or have any intentions of getting involved with the Hindenburg campaign.
