Robert Shiller's assessment of Donald Trump is interesting and appears accurate to me.

As I once mentioned, I had the privilege to take care of his father for some twenty years and

his favorite aunt for almost 40 years. He gave his last published book mentioned here to his aunt

who gave it to me before she died. I read part of it, which is interesting.

People including me didn't realize psychology, what he calls "animal spirit", played

such an important role in economics until he demonstrated it, I believe.

Shiller was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Ruth R. (née Radsville) and Benjamin Peter Shiller, an economist.^[9] He is of Lithuanian descent.^[10] He is married to Virginia Marie (Faulstich), a psychologist, and has two children.^[9] He was raised as a Methodist.^[11]

Shiller studied at Kalamazoo College and the University of Michigan where he received his B.A. degree in 1967.^[12] He received the S.M. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1968, and his Ph.D. from MIT in 1972 with thesis entitled Rational expectations and the structure of interest rates under the supervision of Franco Modigliani.^{[2](From Internet)}
