Whoever came up with the phrase “useful idiots” — it’s often credited to Lenin, but there’s no evidence he ever said it — was on to something. There are times when dangerous political movements derive important support from people who will, if these movements achieve and hold power, be among their biggest victims.
Certainly I found myself thinking of the phrase when I read about the Trump fund-raiser held at the Hamptons home of Stephen Ross, chairman of a company that holds controlling stakes in Equinox and SoulCycle.
Most reporting on the Ross event has focused on the possible adverse effects on his business empire: The young, educated, urban fitness fanatics who go to his gyms don’t like the idea that their money is supporting Donald Trump. But the foolishness of Ross’s Trump support goes well beyond the potential damage to his bottom line.
I mean, if you’re a billionaire who also happens to be a racist, supporting Trump makes perfect sense: You know what you’re buying. But if you’re supporting Trump not because of his racism but despite it, because you expect him to keep your taxes low, you’re being, well, an idiot.

Continually dividing the people in this country. Freedom of the press has become an abusive right.
The phrase was made for people like Paul Krugman who has more in common with the trash I took out this morning then he does people who make this country work.
I just came back from my cabin deep in the woods, off the grid and living off the land, since Paul Krugman warned me that a global financial collapse would occur if Donald Trump was elected.
So how bad was it?
Only lately in the make-believe world of leftists is it possible to believe that a person who has the savvy to accumulate billions in a competitive field is an idiot.
I bet Krugman wishes he were only half the idiot he accuses Ross of being.
But, he can console himself that he can call Ross a racist.
People who are trying to save this country from those who embrace lenin do NOT conform to the definition of the term used by lenin to denote those who were stupid enough to sidle up to lenin when lenin knew that in the end lenin would execute their dumb asses.
An autobiography?
Paul Krugman trying to get noticed again, after his 15 minutes is up..............
LOL - good one Deth...
I can almost hear the cannon sound of a second Fort Sumpter.
But of course its ok that the NYT is owned by a billionaire.
Paul Krugman - Seldom right but never in doubt.
The New York Times is the definition of ‘useful idiots’.
Wow, you can almost feel Paul’s heart valves straining to keep up with the hate.
The NY Times has no idea what useful is or means. Their crappy paper wouldn’t even suit my parrots cage.
Wait. Paul Krugman wrote this? Hahahahahahaha....
