Economist and author Art Laffer, the architect behind the Reagan tax cuts that ushered in an era of economic prosperity for a generation, tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview that President Donald Trump is enjoying “the single best first term in economics that I’ve ever seen…. and he’s not even halfway through it.”

Laffer credits reduced regulatory burdens and lower taxes. He says Trump’s pro-growth policies are even stronger than Reagan’s.
