It's time for Contra Krugman.

Folks, if you enjoy this show, you're really going to like the free course I've made available

to you on the real history of the U.S. presidents. Very, very helpful, especially during an election year.

Hey, everyone. It's your friendly neighborhood economist Bob Murphy here. I just want to invite you,

if you haven't already, to peruse sample issues of the Lara Murphy Report, available at

contracrugeman.com slash LMR. That's our monthly financial publication. I think you'll enjoy it. Welcome everybody to another

episode of Contra Krugman. I'm Tom Woods with Bob Murphy. We're talking today about a Krugman column about

Donald Trump. I think, oh, this must be a rerun. No, no, no. No, it's not. But there is

economic content in the column. You will be delighted to hear. And it has to do with

Trump's comments regarding the national debt and discounts on the national debt. And we're

going to be talking about that. It's the May 9th column. And Bob, this is yet another time when

having somebody who knows Krugman and his friends and their thoughts and

their writings inside and out turns out to be a really good asset for this program.

A safe asset, you might say.

You might indeed say that if we believed in such a thing.

So, all right.
