Topics
Felix Salmon认为特朗普的经济政策存在不确定性，其关税威胁可能是谈判策略，但最终可能不会实施。他还分析了市场对这些政策的反应，以及特朗普对供应链和消费者价格上涨的理解不足。 Elizabeth Spiers认为特朗普的决策并非完全混乱，他会倾听商界人士的意见，但他的决策主要受其核心支持者的强烈反对影响，而非理性政策过程或个人意见。 Emily Peck认为特朗普会对强烈的反对做出回应，这在之前的提名撤回事件中可见。她还分析了特朗普内阁成员对经济政策的影响，以及其他国家可能采取的报复性关税措施。 Felix Salmon对价值620万美元的香蕉艺术品进行了深入分析，指出批评者忽略了艺术品价值的本质，以及对艺术作品中幽默元素的误解。他认为香蕉艺术品的价值在于其概念，而非香蕉本身，购买者支付的是艺术品的真伪证明证书。 Elizabeth Spiers认为人们对香蕉艺术品的批评反映了他们对抽象艺术的普遍误解。 Emily Peck认为人们对香蕉艺术品的批评，一部分源于其对艺术作品中幽默元素的误解，以及对概念艺术的理解不足。
