This week’s cover

This week we consider the economy-policy team that Donald Trump has assembled and how it will shape his second term. The raucous court of advisers have disparate, sometimes contradictory goals. Some are MAGA diehards—anti-trade, anti-immigration and anti-regulation. Others are Republican mainstreamers who believe in low tax and small government. And this time Mr Trump has also introduced a new faction that makes the mix more volatile still: the tech bros from Silicon Valley. The contrasting visions will translate into policy disputes that could hobble Mr Trump. Still, that scenario is not foreordained. Tech’s arrival in Washington is a big risk. It could also bring a big reward.
