Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln and the Stock Market

The New York stock exchange hit record highs on the back of a speech by the President. Trumponomics discusses why and also discovers more about Abraham Lincoln and his policies.

This week the New York stock exchange hit record highs on the back of a speech by the President. Trumponomics discusses the reasons behind this optimism and also looks at why Donald Trump quoted from Abraham Lincoln on trade. Is protectionism going to be the order of the day? And never mind alternative facts, are we entering an era of "alternative data" which will make us look at the US economy entirely differently?

The 大象传媒's business editor Simon Jack, economics editor Kamal Ahmed and north America business correspondent Michelle Fleury get together to talk about the effect President Trump is having on the world of business and economics.
