   President Trump blasted Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as a   
   “deranged bum” after the ex-New York Times columnist was critical of his   
   administration’s tariff regime.   
      
   “Paul Krugman of the New York Times has been predicting Doom and Gloom   
   ever since my great election success in 2016,” Trump raged in a Truth   
   Social post late Sunday.   
      
   “In other words, he has been wrong for YEARS, as ALL markets have been   
   hitting new HIGHS, and are now higher than ever before.”   
      
   “People stayed out of the ‘BEST MARKET IN HISTOY’ [sic] because of this   
   Trump Deranged BUM. Sue them!” he added.   
      
   It comes after Krugman, who late last year abruptly quit the Times after   
   more than two decades there, started trashing Trump’s tariffs in his newly   
   created Substack.   
      
   In one article published earlier Sunday, the economist described most of   
   the tariffs as “clearly illegal.”

   He also ripped Trump for reversing “90 years of tariff reductions.”   
      
   “Not to be coy about it, what I’ll argue in today’s post is that Trump’s   
   trade war should be seen as part of a package of policies that amounts to   
   class warfare — class warfare against middle and lower-income Americans in   
   favor of the affluent, especially the top 10% of the income distribution,”   
   he wrote.   
      
   Trump’s higher tariff rates of 10% to 50% on dozens of trading partners   
   officially went into effect last week.

   Krugman like almost all economists is wrong much more than he is right.   
   Among all economists with blue chip academic credentials only a handful   
   forecast the great recession which was the biggest economic event in 80   
   years. Just as many of these overpaid experts wrongly warned during 2008-   
   2012 of a pending inflation crisis that never happened. There's no reason   
   to pay any attention to Krugman or most of his peers.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
