GO AWAY: Paul Krugman Struggling Post-NYT, Cries ‘Trump Wants You to Die’
NewsBusters ^ | 1/27/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 01/27/2025 12:51:05 PM PST by JV3MRC

Former New York Times columnist and pseudo-economics savant Paul Krugman clearly isn’t taking retirement too well, as he’s taken to going on rants against his former employer and President Donald Trump, who lives rent-free in his brain.

In a January 24 interview with the Columbia Journalism Review, Krugman expressed his “rage” at his editors, which apparently began to balk at the extremism that plagued his columns (shocker).

“I’ve always been very, very lightly edited on the column,” Krugman whined. “And that stopped being the case [in 2024]. The editing became extremely intrusive. It was very much toning down of my voice, toning down of the feel, and a lot of pressure for what I considered false equivalence.”

Krugman bellyached that he approached “Mondays and Thursdays with dread,” and “often spent the afternoon in a rage.”

Are you laughing yet?

He could always become what one supreme court justice called “the lonely pamphleteer.” After all, they have the same First Amendment rights as newspapers or broadcasters.

He’s as good as economics as Bill Nye is with science.

Krugman always was an idiot. He never grew up.

The only ones who wanted people to die were the American conspirators working with the Chinese on the Covid virus and the theft of a US election. They should all be tried for treason and crimes against humanity and executed.

DENIAL is a tough thing to overcome.

These people just can not understand that the way people get information has drastically changed.
Newspapers are DEAD.
MSM is DEAD.
Cable news is in its DEATH throws.

Not exactly.

It’s not that we want you to die, we just don’t care if you do . . .

I used to give his essays to my 8th graders to dissect and mock. It wasn't difficult. And they gained the confidence that they could outsmart a "Nobel Prize Winning Economist".

Nye is disgusting. He always came across to me as an ignorant creepy pervert, but when I saw this, it was confirmed:

‘Trump Wants You to Die’

Lol, whenever I hear this kind of hyperbole from Leftists, I'm immediately reminded of the pardody El Rushbo did on James Carville. "Jawj Bush wants your babies to smoke cigarettes. He wants yawr children dayyyd!"

PDJT never mandated anyone to take an ineffective or unsafe COVID vaxxine. THAT’s an indication someone wants you to die.

My mom would say Krugman was an idiot savant, without the savant part.

OMG, the comments!

“This segment changed me into a god-fearing conservative...”
... “You look at this and tell me there is a God?”
