According to Christophe Barraud, regarded as the world’s “most accurate economist,” Donald Trump will almost certainly win the United States presidential (s)election. Ranked by Bloomberg as the top forecaster of the American economy, Barraud made the comments as Trump leads by less than one percent.
Barraud is chief economist and strategist at Market Securities and has been awarded the title of Top Forecaster of the US Economy by Bloomberg every year bar once since 2012.
