KRUGMAN: The US Is In 'Deeper And More Treacherous Waters Than Even The Pessimists Are Saying'

Paul Krugman is at a loss about the future of the Trump presidency, but he's not hopeful.

The Nobel-winning economist and New York Times columnist is concerned about possible connections between the president-elect and Russia.

"We are, I'd argue, in much deeper and more treacherous waters than even the pessimists are saying," Krugman tweeted Friday.

The election of Trump is tainted, Krugman said, because of the FBI's announcement weeks before Election Day regarding its reopened investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server, and because of the Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta.

"A clever, self-controlled Trump would be careful now to preserve appearances and wait for revenge; but instead he's confirming his status as Putin's poodle/stooge with every tweet," Krugman tweeted. "Pretty soon everyone will think of him as a Manchurian candidate, even those pretending not to."

In Krugman's assessment, once the idea takes hold that Trump's election was tainted, there are few options for how it could play out in a positive way.

By what miraculous techniques did Russia fool the American people? Hillary was making this Russia crap an issue for weeks before the election.

Krugman, I know you pride yourself in being an ass, a tool of globalists and a liberal that views Stalin as far too right wing for your tastes, but, can you put a cork in it FOR ONCE?

(from the article:" ..but instead he's confirming his status as Putin's poodle/stooge with every tweet," Krugman tweeted.
"Pretty soon everyone will think of him as a Manchurian candidate, even those pretending not to."

Speaking of the Manchurian candidate, Krugman, can somebody be a Manchurian Candidate and a stooge simultaneously, I mean speaking from your own experience as a stooge ?

Saying that Trump likes Russia or visa versa is hardly the discovery of a conspiracy. Why did Hilary have her ridiculous “reset” button and promise to be friendly to Russia?

Krug is German for jug. So his name translates to Jugman.

2000: “Selected not elected”, Dems claim election stolen.

2004: Kerry campaign claimed Bush cheated, Kerry operative wrote book outlining the theory of how Bush stole the election.

2016: Here we go again, with Russians this time.

Democrats never lose, they just get elections stolen.

Where was Krugmann’s concern about Hillary’s ties to the Musli,m Brotherhood?

How much did he worry and write about Hillary selling a huge chunk of the world’s uranium source to the Russians?

He and Kerry have about the same IQ.

If the Russians were so intent on screwing with the election, why did CPUSA (which takes its orders from Moscow) endorse SWMNBN.

Oh, and if she hadn’t been so f’ing stupid to set up that email server, none of this would have happened. Once again, she has nobody to blame for losing except herself.

“Don’t call this silly...” Well, since you plead, I won’t. In answer to your question, it ends with your increasing irrelevance into obscurity.
