Theres a lot we dont know about the legacy Donald Trump will leave behind. And it is, of course, hugely important what happens in the 2020 election. But one thing seems sure: Even if hes a one-term president, Trump will have caused, directly or indirectly, the premature deaths of a large number of Americans.
Some of those deaths will come at the hands of right-wing, white nationalist extremists, who are a rapidly growing threat, partly because they feel empowered by a president who calls them very fine people.
Some will come from failures of governance, like the inadequate response to Hurricane Maria, which surely contributed to the high death toll in Puerto Rico. (Reminder: Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.)
Some will come from the administrations continuing efforts to sabotage Obamacare, which have failed to kill health reform but have stalled the decline in the number of uninsured, meaning that many people still arent getting the health care they need. Of course, if Trump gets his way and eliminates Obamacare altogether, things on this front will get much, much worse.

I love this. It is no longer debatable that this is a perfect example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
If a reader gets past the headline, and then the "very fine people" comment it becomes clear you are willing to be deceived.
When Trump talked about some 'very fine people' he was talking about people who don't believe in allowing mobs to destroy history by pulling down statues THEY object to...
Trump was NOT referring to Nazis or KKK members as 'fine people.
We didn't believe ISIS should have blown up the statues of Buddha either. And 'Mobs' taking down Civil War statues they don't like is offensive. That choice is up to the cities and states involved.
I'm sure Krugman knows the difference but he's an evil man who wants to paint all traditional Americans as racist.
This POS is FOS.

Not worth the read.
The Fine People Hoax has been totally debunked. Krugman is hallucinating, still.

Trump Didn’t Call Neo-Nazis ‘Fine People.’ Here’s Proof

“You’ve been lyin when you shoulda been truthin.”
These boots were made for walking.
Krugmwn went off the rails ( mentally) years ago. His garbage isnt even worth reading anymore
As a glutton for punishment, I follow NBC News on Facebook. When they post Krugman stories, the responses are about 80-90% mockery of Krugman. It’s fun to watch.
Krugman is nothing more than a liberal agitator...
Nothing more...Nothing less...
That little half-assed smirk on his face says “Oh look!!! I just shot my neighbor through the door...”
This is the same dude who said the Internet would be no more popular than the fax machine.

Of all the people Trump is trying to kill, too bad he hasn’t succeeded with Paul Krugman!
Exactly. It was the same as when a white teenage girl would get pregnant and accuse some unnamed black kid of rape, and the Klan would go out and lynch a random black teenager.
Democrats never change.
Lyndon Johnson tried to kill my dad....TWICE.
they are repeating a lie, Trump did not not say the KKK or the white supremacists were “very fine people”. That video has been reviewed many times Trump did not make that statement.
Any and all who claim he did are bald faced LIARS.
We have already reached the point where main stream media and the left is no longer believed about anything.
The left, the socialists, can preach to the choir but rational, truthful, honest, and ethical people recognize them all as desperate and pathetic LIARS.
The right will keep the Senate and Trump will win by a large majority in the next election.
The left can thank themselves for this.
Who in their right minds will vote for a party of LIARS except for the LIARS themselves?
