Lawrence: Trump predicts a '1929-style result' if Trump returns the tariff money he illegally took - The Last Word MSNBC



After appearing on “The Last Word,” Donald Trump attacked Nobel Prize-winning economist, Paul Krugman. Professor Krugman returns to the program to respond to Trump’s comment and to discuss the “madness” Trump has brought to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Krugman tells MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell that no one is going to believe the numbers the “Trumpified BLS produces.” - Aired on 08/12/2025.
