Learning from a Mentally Ill President
Paul Krugman Substack ^ | Paul Krugman

Posted on 06/01/2026 9:13:17 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The President of the United States is mentally ill, but everybody knows that. So while we should continue to focus on this degeneration taking place in front of our eyes, we should also, beyond that, ask what we can do about the powers, the interests, the system that put this horrifying person in a position of power.

(snip)

Obviously, we need to defang Trump as much as possible and make sure that neither he nor anybody who follows in his footsteps has power after the next two elections. But beyond that, we really need to do a thorough purging of the United States. We need a deMAGAfication. And Iโ€™m not going over the top by using a word thatโ€™s very similar to the denazification that we pursued successfully after World War II in Germany.

And itโ€™s not just the MAGA ideology, but the whole structure of hugely unequal power, hugely unequal wealth that made this horrific moment possible.

Another data point to add to Carville's comments.

If this is what they're saying publicly, imagine what is being discussed privately.

If these people get into power again, they're going to continue what happened under four years of Biden.

Krugman and company use the Nazi word like an epithet. But I would argue the way he and his ilk talk, sounds like the rants coming from a Munich based group that the Germans laughed at--until they didn't. They even have their version of the Sturmabteilung. And in public they're using the tack that Spanberger used in Virginia, and look at what they did once they got into office.

Let it out. Oh, and then proceed to boost gram platner as the kind of candidate the dems need. Insufferable is being kind.

“The President of the United States is mentally ill”. Paul, are you taking your meds as prescribed?

Biden is gone, no point in dwelling on his mental decline. Move on, Paul.

Paul Krugman is mentally ill.

But everyone knows that.

He is out of touch with reality.

Jump in a river, Krugman, and take your argumentum ad populum with you. Oh, one last question, have the markets still not recovered from Trump's election in 2016?

Elitist clown.

Yeah. At least it doesn’t beat the record of on of my posts being within 10 seconds of a similar post.

The fact that they started opening "Capitol Police" offices throughout the nation is enough to chill the blood of any thinking American (of which there are few).

Can you say "G-E-S-T-A-P-O" ???

What might that be? Constitutional republic? capitalism? democrat overreach? Allowing an informed public the right to vote?

Krugman is somewhere on the autism spectrum himself.

Didn’t he also lose his newspaper column and fade into oblivion?

The article is just a venting of emotions, without any argument. It was a waste of time reading and posting it.

Boomer Freepers love to post anything that gets them outraged. No sane debate here, just rage baiting and Trump COP worshipping. Its become the wingding version of Reddit. I just read the news headlines, the comment sections is the same couple of dozen gatekeeps and morons
