Ron Paul: Economic progress under Trump is illusion, crash coming

With his first year in office drawing to a close, the US president has been talking up his economic record in typical Trump style. But one man who does not share Trump's optimism is former congressman Ron Paul. He told RT the growth is not even for all people.

Dr. Ron Paul is a physician and former twelve-term congressman from Texas who ran for president in 2008. He is the author of eight books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Revolution: A Manifesto and End The Fed. An unwavering defender of the US Constitution, Paul has been an advocate of sound money, personal liberty, free markets, and international peace throughout his political career and beyond. He is chairman of the FREE Foundation, founder of the Campaign for Liberty, and distinguished counselor to the Ludwig von Mises Institute. Dr. Paul recently started the Ron Paul Liberty Report, an online broadcast alternative to the mainstream media. Ron's most recent novel is Swords into Plowshares.
