Donald Trump's economic agenda follows those of Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy, economist Larry Kudlow told Newsmax TV on Friday.
"Trump is adopting a Reagan-esque approach and by the way, a John F. Kennedy-esque approach," the Commentator and CNBC host told "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth.
Kudlow's new book is "JFK and the Reagan Revolution: A Secret History of American Prosperity."
Trump announced his plan for the economy on Thursday in New York.
"He's slashing tax rates on individuals, on businesses," Kudlow said of the Republican nominee's program. "He wants to roll back myriad regulations.
"He wants to unleash energy and, of course, get rid of Obamacare and all of its taxes and spending and regulations.
"With these kinds of new incentives and limited government, you're going to get a lot of activity, the business-tax cuts alone," he added.
"He's slashing tax rates on business. He's going to repatriate trillions of dollars to put to work in the states."

Kudlow said that Trump's 25 million jobs' target over the next decade "is a decent number.
"That's 2.5 million jobs a year. I think that's a great thing to shoot for."
Trump also called for an annual growth target of 4 percent in the economy.
"I love that," Kudlow told Hayworth. "Reagan had 4 to 5 percent — and, actually, the '80s and the '90s, you had 4 to 5 percent growth.
"Bill Clinton didn't do much damage to that," he added. "In the '60s under Kennedy, you had nearly 5 percent growth.
"So, I think Trump's on target here."
