Oh Blow It Out Your Nose! Paul Krugman Is Already Trying to Make ‘Trumpflation’ a Thing

Amazing. Just amazing. The consummate Bidenomics simp and former New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is trying to make “Trumpflation” a thing in the public discourse.

“Lies, Damned Lies and Trumpflation,” railed Krugman in his latest February 14 certifiable screed. What was hilarious was that the first five paragraphs of his piece literally had nothing to do with the economy aside from drumming up conspiracy theories about President Donald Trump’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention potentially hiding data on the next hypothetical pandemic.

Then came the kicker: “But while I’m not an epidemiologist, I do know something about inflation.” Well it turns out he’s not much of a serious economist either. It's quite bold for him to make this claim after being the same transitory apologist that blurted out March 2022 during the Bidenflation disaster that he didn’t “understand what the hell has been going on" with inflation. He still doesn't.

Even if you grant him a burble that prices may tick upward a tad in the short run, long term price stability is the reward. Unfortunately, the long run for most politicians is their term of office, which is why spending is such a happy place for most politicians. They just keep kicking the can down the road.

How 'bout this: For any new program, or increased funding for any existing program, that proposal must also include a defined source for that funding. It can be either 1) taking funding away from existing projects, or 2) new taxes to pay for it. Perhaps this would make politicians realize that spending involves choice and those choices need to be prioritized to those that benefit the US citizens, not themselves or some foreign country.

It’s a fact, Trumpflation started just as soon as he was declared winner of the election, long before being sworn in. /s/

Only the useful idiots will believe this. A wrecked train cannot be put back on its tracks in a few minutes. I think the common sense voter knows the Biden train wreck took four years to evolve, and it will likely take a few months to get things heading in the right direction.

I had a meeting with our financial advisor yesterday, and he’s very optimistic about the economy. He watches Trump closely, knows Trump watches the markets and how to respond.

Paul Krugman thinks it’s still the ‘old days’ when corrupt journalists could lie easily and get away with it. Those days are long gone.

Trump’s been President three weeks. No one’s buying Krugman’s crap. Oh and Paul Krugman’s little thingie doesn’t buy ink by the pint no less the barrel - it’s a different world Paul.

Dems are switching the narrative.
“Trump will destroy government
The Dems will fix it. “
Have they ratcheted up the hysteria enough to switch yet?
