How come Trump's use of the government to go after his enemies (like Michael Cohen, Hilary Clinton, etc) didn't "backfire on him? Sorry, this episode is not up to the usual Freakanomics standard. This guy's got his head up his ass.
So, Trump didn't achieve and Biden did achieve. Good one Doc. Does anyone remember a time when "freakonomics" was a way of using economics to see the truth? Nah, me neither.
In what way was it a political propaganda piece? Both political parties and their actions are used as examples of concepts being discussed. When he does talk specifically about Trump as a person he draws from the writings of several people who worked closely with Trump and thus can be reasonably assumed to be knowledgeable on the subject.
