The great Mary Anastasia O’Grady explores, in the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump’s defective economics ^[3].  (gated)  A slice:

Mr. Trump may be impressed by devaluation as a policy tool because Mexico—whose politicians in his eyes are among the cleverest and most “cunning”—practiced it for many years.

If “competitive devaluation” worked, Argentina would be the national equivalent of Donald Trump. That means very, very rich, in case you somehow missed the Donald’s constant assertion about his net worth.
