tariffs/
President Trump blasted Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as a deranged bum after the ex-New York Times columnist was critical of his administrations 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 Trumps 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 Ill argue in todays post is that Trumps
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.
Trumps 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.
