In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with his reaction to recent reporting surrounding the Trump
family’s “patriotic,” Trump-branded cellphones. David explains how
this is yet another instance of the most powerful sowing doubt
about the fairness of American business and destroying confidence
in the ideals of American enterprise. Then, David is joined
by Lloyd Blankfein, a former chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, for
a wide-ranging conversation about the current state of the American
economy. They discuss Blankfein’s new memoir, “Streetwise”; the
expanding American debt; the American people’s faith in the
economy; and the challenges that lie ahead. Sign up for David
