President Donald Trump's autocratic tendencies are doing more than terrorizing Americans, University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers told MS NOW's Alicia Menendez on Tuesday's edition of "Deadline: White House" — they are undermining America's future ability to grow and prosper.

Wolfers expounded on this amid reporting that Trump is going out of his way to pay companies to cancel wind energy projects — at a moment when his war with Iran is provoking an energy crisis.

"This is not a president known for thinking about the long tail effects of the decisions that he makes today," said Menendez. "I think what is startling is that he is making these decisions at a moment when Americans are really feeling the pinch. Reuters reporting Trump's approval rating has hit a new low of 36 percent. That is lower than at any time during the Biden administration. Gas prices are, in part, what is driving that approval rating."
