Krugman is hated in Israel, too; the satire show Latma-TV did a wicked parody of the Krug singing “I’m just too good to be true” while adoring his own reflection, having flowers sent to his address, etc.

I’ll still say that President Trump isn’t exactly “my kind of guy”. He’s brash. He’s in your face. He’s not articulate.

That said....it doesn’t mean he’s not exactly the right person to be POTUS at this point in history. We had 8 years of limp wristed, America loathing, anti-Christian, politically correct left wing garbage. We had China, Russia, Iran, and N. Korea all become more aggressive under weak leadership from the USA. The world needs the USA to be strong, which requires a strong character. I don’t care if they like him. The rest of the world is under the thumb of globalist elites. Even Europe, with their censorship and hate-speech laws.

When President Trump gave his speech to the U.N. my jaw hit the floor. It was almost as though I’d forgotten just how many things go unsaid, just how many gorillas in the room there were.

2017 was an amazing year. To see how he loves this country and is willing to call out the BS that everyone throws at us is not simply refreshing, it’s like a lion saying “enough”. ...and we’re just getting started.

It’s prophetic.

Often its more important to deny someone power then to give someone power.

Krugman, NY Times —> guaranteed barf read to follow without reading a word.

Let’s look:

1st Sentence: “Many of us came into 2017 expecting the worst. And the worst is what we got.”
Check- setting up the slam on DJT, known before looking further.

2d Sentence: “Donald Trump has been every bit as horrible as one might have expected; he continues to prove himself utterly unfit for office, morally and intellectually.”
Check- Yep. DJT is ‘unfit’, ‘immoral’, ‘stupid’ — Krug forgot Nazi, Hitler, rapist, etc. unless he mentioned those leftist icons further down in this tripe full of feces. But I’m not looking any further as it’s a familiar rehash of his warped personality disorder.

“It really does look like ‘President Donald Trump’ and markets are plunging. If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is ‘never’”, Krugman in 2016

“America Is Not Yet Lost”, Krugman in 2017

Conclusion: listen to Krugman, he is a fast learner.

What a sick twisted delusional moron...

He writes of Trump in terms that should have been used on the Kenyan, yet he saw the Kenyan as our best president, and our current great president as the enemy of our nation.

The man is oblivious to reality. As such, he has plenty of company. The whole Left in this nation is stuck in an alternate reality mindset.

These folks have very little contact with reality. It’s an amazing thing to observe.

You and I are on the same page. I’ve said many times in the last few months that Trump is our Churchill. Churchill was what they needed to win the war, and when the war was over, they booted him.

Not that I think Trump will need to be booted, but he is the right man at the right time.

There is an old Vulcan saying: “Only Nixon could go to China.”

Interesting that Paul Krugman used to be an economist. I would think an economist would be evaluating Trump by the economic data, but he seems to be evaluating him by everything else except economic performance.

Why do we taint good digital space by staining it up with either Krugman or NYT?

Because you can't win unless you know the enemy.

Krugman was single-handedly responsible for the ginormous “stimulus” Obama bestowed on generations of Americans. Trillions added to our debt.

Krugman is a demand-side Keynesian who convinced people there is this phantom Keynesian multiplier unicorn, where every dollar of government stimulus (deficit spending) leads to more than a dollar of economic growth. A magic potion.

When it failed, they pushed for more and more. The mythical unicorn Keynesian multiplier would show up—he guaranteed it! They all thought they were so smart, and that it would work.

Miserable Failure. Absolutely spectacular, earth shaking, Boom-worthy Fail.

Keynesian economics is like socialism: it fails every time it’s tried. But they keep trying, cuz “you did it wrong!”

Krugman also said the market would immediately crash if Trump were elected.

Lesson learned: Whatever Krugman says, do the opposite. You will be golden.

Krugman? Krugman? Oh yes -- I remember him. He's the economist who said in 2011 that space aliens could fix the U.S. economy.

You mean THAT Paul Krugman?
