As President Donald Trump’s economic advisor Stephen Miran joins the Federal Reserve board, one thing is clear: The dollar will get a lot weaker.

A Trump supporter from day one, the Harvard-educated economist has strong views about the US currency. In a paper published last November, he mentioned dollar “overvaluation” 10 times. It was the root cause of America’s social and economic imbalances, weighing heavily on manufacturing while benefiting the wealthy, he lamented.
