Paul Krugman is at a loss about the future of the Trump presidency, but he's not hopeful.
The Nobel-winning economist and New York Times columnist is concerned about possible connections between the president-elect and Russia.
"We are, I'd argue, in much deeper and more treacherous waters than even the pessimists are saying," Krugman tweeted Friday.
The election of Trump is tainted, Krugman said, because of the FBI's announcement weeks before Election Day regarding its reopened investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server, and because of the Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta.
"A clever, self-controlled Trump would be careful now to preserve appearances and wait for revenge; but instead he's confirming his status as Putin's poodle/stooge with every tweet," Krugman tweeted. "Pretty soon everyone will think of him as a Manchurian candidate, even those pretending not to."
In Krugman's assessment, once the idea takes hold that Trump's election was tainted, there are few options for how it could play out in a positive way.

It has exposed an ugly reverse racism that has been fueled by eight years under bammy. Reference the feigned outrage, and in some cases, dismissal, of the outrages and despicable attack by the four animals in Chiraq against a mentally disabled man. One would think everyone would rally around this and agree it was racially motivated.
The mood of the country is on edge in spite of the win by Trump. The Left is going to do everything they can to thwart, stop...possibly kill Trump.
And if the latter happens, the Left will cheer.
MAGA!
Fake news is getting to be very entertaining. They are desperate for us to believe this sh**.
We are in deep trouble from Kenyanesian Economics from leftists like Krugman that have put us in inescapable debt slavery.
Suicide is the only answer, Paul!
And a lot of that is due to our rulers following both your economic and your political advice for so many years.
I’m sure he favors assisted suicide. Maybe he and a large group of friends could put themselves on the list.
Now that Bath House is out the door, Krugman suddenly finds all sorts of problems in the economy.
Knock me over with a feather!
Thanks for posting that. I stopped same as no one seemed to notice or find that fact persuasive.
It's a GREAT point!
It’s difficult to imagine a man more delusional than this...
I see the picture of a snout-faced vermin with whiskers, but what kind of animal is on the right side of that photo?
Ferret.
Insanity is spreading.
Krugman has been deranged ever since I’ve heard of him.
The Islamic spring is a direct result of Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama failed Islamic spring. It is now in Islamic winter. As much as we hate Assad, what we have now is far worse. This is true throughout the Middle East. Everything this administration has touched has turned to chaos. In order to correct or add some semblance of order, we must work with the major world powers. Especially the damn Russians. President elect Trump has Stated he respects Putin. If you’ve ever been in a fight and not respected your enemy, you got a problem.
Likewise, Putin has no respect for Madame Hillary. He knows she’s plum crazy. And the bottom line is I would rather spend time with Putin then any of these Democrats yo-yos .
Let’s just hope we can get them out of Washington before they destroy everything.
The Russians boosted the stock market ruining Krugman’s promise of a never ending crash after Trump won.
It’s a million, billion, trillion times worse than we originally thought.
If they’re all forced to read what Krugman writes they won’t wait around for assistance! lol
I was worried for a second then I saw it was Krugman.
He’s never right about anything.
Terrorist: It is my INTENTION to kill for Allah. My MOTIVATION is I am a soldier for ISIS.
US Intelligence Agencies: It is very hard to establish MOTIVATION OR INTENTION. We cannot attribute MOTIVATION or INTENTION of any perps of the recent incidents.
US Intelligence Report: While we cannot release any specifics we are 100% certain that we have determined the MOTIVATION and INTENTION of Putin and the entire leadership of Russia.
Is it just me or is this smack of the politicization of intelligence?
Remember, Trump like Gulliani DOES not question the loyal intel agents in the field but only agencies who are lead by the likes of Jeh Johnson, John Brenner, and James Clapper.
Paul “the ferret” Krugman.
