Trump rips Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as ''deranged bum'' after he criticized sweeping tariffs

[NYPOST] President Trump blasted Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as a ''deranged bum'' after the ex-New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
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.''
People still pay attention to Krugman? Who knew?

Time will tell if "We The People" win out or are screwed over by the Elite for more $$$$.

Side Note: We have a lot of Wally World stores down in the South, undergoing massive remodeling. Strangely, most of the remodeling announcement signage is in Spanish 1st & English 2nd.

Also noted.
Wally World seems to be jacking up its Food Prices more every month.
While reducing many NON-Food items 30 to 50% off.

Is Wally World having problems selling in this tight economy?

#5 That would be the Noble Prize people who gave Barack a medal for being black or half black rather than accomplish anything.
