In his latest hate-Trump rambling December 17 Substack column, former New York Times columnist Krugman sneered, “An A+++++ Economy, My A++,” mocking the president’s assessment of the current state of the economy.
It’s worth a reminder that Krugman just recently had the audacity to call Bidenomics the “triumph that nobody appreciated” in November. That’s basically the equivalent of saying the Biden economy was “A+++++.” Cue the canned laughter.
He’s the same person that gaslit Americans who were struggling under President Joe Biden’s overbloated multitrillion-dollar tax-and-spend spree that they were only complaining because they “hate” Biden. We’d advise him to sit this one out. Krugman wouldn’t know an “A+++++ economy” if it bit his “A++.”
Oblivious to the obvious -- that Trump’s second language is hyperbole -- Krugman continued his pro-Biden babbling that “First, the economy that Trump inherited when he took office was in much better shape than today’s economy, with lower unemployment combined with faster job growth, and inflation trending down.”
Did you catch that? Krugman somehow wants to be taken seriously on his critique of Trump while still openly defending the inflationary disaster Bidenomics inflicted on the U.S. economy in the first place! Jeez-a-loo! Not even a low-budget comedian could come up with as bad a joke as this one.

Clever article title.
I just had an argument with a Liberal who said Biden’s inflation rate was always lower than Trump’s during his first or current administration. I called him on it and asked for his source. He almost any news service or CNN has said that. I sent him this link to the BLS stats:

I also told him facts don’t care about his feelings.
I never heard back...
Liars gotta lie.
Krugman predicted 25 of the last 5 recessions
Krugman once admitted that he was a horrible prognosticator. Couldn’t really avoid it since his predictions were always so wrong.
Didn’t he win a Nobel prize for breathing or something?...............
“faster job growth”
Biden’s BLS cooked the books. Its job reports had zero credibility. Actually no econo0mic stat released by Biden’s admin was credible. Krugman is a joke.
I wish I could find the interview where he admitted his predictions were crappy. Because an economist who doesn't understand properly cause and effect is useless.
He won the Nobel Prize didn’t he? Makes him an expert.
Krugman confidently predicted in 2016 that a Trump victory would crash the markets—“permanently.” Obviously, Paul Krugman is an economic incompetent.
