Krugman Accusing Trump of Losing ‘Touch with Reality’ Is Like Flat-Earther Mocking Astronaut
NewsBusters ^ | 10/22/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

We’ve just received yet another dispatch from the Imaginarium of Dr. Faux-nassus — otherwise known as Paul Krugman — who had the chutzpah to accuse President Trump of lacking a grip on reality.

Do you really want to go there?

In one his most oblivious pieces of bloviating word salads to date, Krugman declared to his Substack subscribers October 21 that “Donald Trump Has Lost Touch With Reality.” In Krugman’s 20/200 vision, “it’s getting worse. When will we acknowledge the obvious?”

We’re still waiting for him to acknowledge that the detached-from-reality Bidenomics snake-oil he sold to his former New York Times readers was a load of dream world bunk.

Krugman retro-fitted his newly-learned term “AI-Sycophancy” to act as a descriptor of the “glutton for sycophancy” that is his arch-nemesis Trump. Krugman continued ranting that Trump is “descending into states of delusion that are as he would say, like nothing anyone has seen before (notwithstanding Nixon’s nighttime drunken tirades).” Oh, we’ve seen massive delusions before, and arguably some of the most notorious of them all came straight from the phony economics savant himself.

Krudman’s never been right before. No need to think he’ll start now.

Krugman= Keynesian Economics.

Print money and spread it out and the economy will be ok. You don’t need to make or create anything.

The US, under Biden and Obama followed Keynesian Economics with Janet Yellen. The 2 POTUS are 28 Trillion of our 37.5 Trillion national debt. Half of the Economy became federal Government spending under Biden.

Inflation, people sitting down and taking money, interest payments on the debt, dependency of other nations, destruction of industries. All related to Keynesian economics and the same thing happened in every nation that has tried it.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. With that definition, Krugman and Keynesian economics matches.
