Austrian Economist Likes Donald

July 12, 2015

An important Austrian economist, who in the past, like Rothbard, has rooted for Perot, Buchanan, and Ron Paul, is cheering for Trump this time. As a Hoppean, he agrees with much of what Trump says on immigration. He also finds Trump funny and intereting, an expert communicator, and, to Donald’s great credit, despised by all the worst elements in the establishment, including the media. Donald had made politics interesting again. He could destroy the two-party system with an independent run.

But isn’t Trump bad on economics? Sure, he said, like Perot and Buchanan, and every single Democrat and GOP candidate for president in recent times, including n0w. Only Ron Paul is different, but he’s not running.

Most important, he told me: Trump is making it possible to discuss such questions as mass immigration, and many other hitherto unmentionables. Trump can demolish the entire PC regime, and allow free speech again.
