So here is the thing. When PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) is sedate to combat the widespread public opinion that the tax -supported “intelligence service” is a refuge for elite left (that’s exactly what it is), Paul Krugman, Paul Krugman, trots Isn ‘from the ever complex economist. T the best way to show it.
During a glued -up interview With the PBS Economics Reporter Paul Solman, whom the outlet broadcast on Thursday, Krugman was his usual, miserable, self -centered self.
Incidentally, the former New York Time columnist was on one Years of crusade To find a social media app that records Elon Musks X (formerly Twitter) and have existed for years that Presidential elections of President Donald Trump won against Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. “manipulated. ”
Solman started the celebrations.
Nobel laureate Paul Krugman has been a New York Times columnist for 25 years. He started the column in the Clinton years. Krugman left the time shortly before Donald Trump was inaugurated. I asked him what has changed in 25 years.
Krugman said that he used to be “extremely optimistic”. But today? (Emphasis, mine)
When I started writing the column, People were extremely hopeful. I was basically set to talk about all the good news And maybe entertaining things that happened in this glorious economic boom in the delayed 1990s. And since then it has been a very restless world.

Most voters have very little idea of ​​politics. I mean, you look at the polls, asked people, or Obamacare approval and it is still pretty negative. And you ask Allow the law on affordable care and it is very positive. So that tells you something about what the voters understand about politics.
I am not aware that most voters see affordable care very positively, but let’s go on – with Krugman, who still call, “Twist the truth”:
Are you doing better personally than five years ago? In October a clear immense number of Americans said, no, we’re going to be worse. In November a clear immense number of Americans said, yes, we are better off than five years ago.
So, The evaluation of their own financial situation by people is somehow of stories That swims out there.
Stop the tape.
For Krugman – or a democrat – suggests this republican Laughing hypocrisy is driven by stories to Max. would?
After Solman found that Krugman supported President Biden’s production policy in the regions that were allegedly injured by trade and China. Many democratic voters in these areas crossed the party lines and supported Trump in November, he asked the bitter little guy: “Have the rejection of the rejection of the [Biden] Policy?”
Krugman replied:
Maybe, or maybe you just didn’t really attribute it to bidges Or whatever, although I think we are now seeing a animated, namely that it becomes more complex than some Republicans reverse these guidelines People Biden may not have given a credit for this recent battery factory in her cityBut they will Be really irate when the battery factory closes because we cut off the subsidies.
More Klugman Pipe Dreams or Reality?
Survey after survey shows that a powerful majority of Americans supports Trump’s politics – results of the Department of Government Efficiency (Elon Musk way before the primary elections before the elections, instead of giving Trump and Doge the slightest loan.

Paul Krugman plays the fool: “White Rural Rage” is “the greatest threat to American democracy”.
Only for grin, here are a few more “highlights” by Krugman during the interview:
Trump promised to reduce prices, what a promise is that he gave up immediately as soon as he won. But that would have addressed voters with low incomes as a promise.
Age, Trump was in office less than a month. What has the biden-hardis management done in four miserable years about high prices?
And there is also a lot of a lot Confusion of income and education And be careful. We know that Trump has won a lot People who pay very little attention To the news.
I love that the left continues to believe that the majority of conservatives “pay very little attention to the news”. If so, Mr. Krugman, why does FOX News continue to blow the doors of the Reviews of CNN and MSNBC, which are often combined?
In view of my kind of double career, it is very crucial to be able to weigh the ongoing discussions about the economy in a way that you cannot do in a column written for a general audience with 800 words. And so I had a newsletter for Times, which was canceled without further ado. You said I was writing too much.
Or Mr. Krugman, maybe her snotty, left -wing views became too much for the New York Times.
Finally:
I am most worried that 2024 could have been our last real choiceI mean that that – what seems to be A loyalty pristine of the German bureaucracyWhat does the Trump administration not seem to be willing to follow court resolutions, Maybe historians will look back and say that American democracy ended in January 2025.
Yes Yes Yes. Trump will “prohibit” presidential elections, live forever and rule in a degree over America that even makes Hitler look like an amateur.
And please for historians. Those of us who look at most historians are aware of the concept of revisionist history.
I’m done. Krugman makes me.
