Luther
confident
brisk
technocratic
impatient
Luther functions as a frontline White House economic adviser who supplies rapid, politically usable macro forecasts to senior staff. He delivers brisk, bullish market readings—famously offering a one‑year Dow projection of “up a thousand”—and favors confident brevity over extended exposition. Luther’s presence signals technical backing during policy conversations; when deliberations turn political or personal, he withdraws with the economics team, visibly impatient to return to his domain. He consistently provides translatable economic judgment that senior staff rely on for quick strategic framing.
