Analyzing Trump's economic plan

On Monday, Donald Trump unveiled his economic plan in Detroit. Pieces of the plan stick closely with what Congressional GOP leaders like Paul Ryan have been advocating for, while others strike more of a chord with Democrats, such as paid child care.

MPR News host Kerri Miller spoke with president of the American Action Forum, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, and senior Atlantic writer Gillian B. White about the particulars of Trump's economic plan and its implications for voters and the global economy.
