The Honeymoon Is Over: Goldman Slams Trump's Economic Plan, No Longer Expects A Border Tax

Less than a week after Bridgewater's Ray Dalio flip-flopped in his support of Donald Trump, going from vocally praising the billionaire's vision for the US, to becoming "increasingly concerned about the emerging policies of the Trump administration" because "there is significant risk that his populist policies could hurt the world economy (and worse)," it was Goldman's turn to dramatically sour on Trump's economic policies, and as the bank's chief economist, who previously just like Dalio was ecstatic about the economic growth prospects under President Trump, warned in a Friday night note t
