Trump Should Have Won the Nobel Prize in Economics

Blain’s Morning Porridge – October 13th, 2026“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.”Should Donald Trump have won the Nobel Prize in Economics? His groundbreaking work on instability and unpredictability, and how naked greed and connections can drive economic growth and prosperity exposes the fundamental weakness of liberal, woke societies. Should economies be driven by innovation and productivity, or by political connections and favour? Key takeaways:Should Donald J Trump have won the Nobel Prize in Economics?Confident stable societies are a laudable goal – for Liberals!Trumponomics provides proofs that liberal, woke policies stifle growth, wealth creation and prosperity – for the entrepreneurs who drive the evolution of society. Greed and the pursuit of personal wealth and power is a far more important driver of power and prosperity – and thus national success.Notions about national prosperity should not be subordinated to private enrichment. Tax benefits, political connections, legal immunities and pardons benefit wealth creators, while “trickle-down” promises can reassure electorates and keep them in check.Under Trumponomics foreign policy is transactional. Deals are struck in pursuit of votes and business opportunities – conflicts between public and private motivations are subordinated.The Russian Diesel Deal is commercial genius. Trump wins votes. In return for easing sanctions, American entrepreneurs gain control of Russian oil to sell to Europe, and the economic reconstruction of Ukraine is handed to US firms. Ukraine? Sorry… who?The bounds of Trumponomics are untested. The latest efforts to investigate a US congresswoman for immigration fraud highlight the growing political power of an authoritarian state. Big news yesterday was Donald J Trump did not win the Nobel Prize for Economics either.Continued/ go to www.morningporridge.com for access to the full story.If you subscribe to the full Morning Porridge you get the email every morning and links to videos and podcasts…
