Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist, has claimed without evidence that official economic statistics under the incoming Trump administration will be manipulated.
In a recent interview with the New Republic, Krugman said that under the incoming Trump administration, government economic data would be distorted to flatter the president’s policies.
“My guess is by sometime next year, we’re going to be having to look at proxies for what’s actually happening to the economy,” Krugman said, warning that official statistics on issues like the economy and crime could become “corrupted.”

As if it had not been done for 4 years.
So Paul is trying to cover for the Biden admins horrible manipulation of data? The Biden admin lied.
Krugman is projecting. His whole life is based on lies.
Why should we listen to a man like Krugman who will molest a child in 2025?
Paul “Mr Projection” Krugman is panicked that the Trump admin will issue honest figures, including corrections of Biden’s fantasy numbers.
Im going to have fun when I start using leftist terms like “Baseless” and “Without Evidence” when these clowns start spewing legitimate disinformation such as this.
Fake economic data has been SOP for decades. In counting the number of unemployed the govt does NOT count those who have made a career of welfare!
If they did the unemployment rate would be 20% not 4%. Among blacks it would be 70%. So they lie to us.
Correct. It started in 1961 with Kennedy, and every administration of either party has played that game.
One could trust the numbers out of the Federal Reserve, but starting in 1992 that institution also began to cook its books.
The world’s best contrarian indicator. Whatever he says, the opposite is true.
Krugman is a piece of meat with two eyes. A real idiot.
The Democrats always, always accuse the right of what they themselves have done or are doing. It never fails.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
I’m still waiting for the stock market to recover after Krugman’s prediction of disaster after Trump’s first election. The DJIA was 18,251 then and it is down to 44,000 now.
Lol no Paulie, because that what Clinton, Obama and Biden did is no reason to believe Trump will use your politically motivated garbage data approach.
They all seem to forget that Trump WAS President. He made a point of cleaning up the phony numbers his predecessors had been using,
THAT IS RICH.
UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS HAVE BEEN STUPID FOR the last 4 years.
BIDEN TOOK CREDIT FOR”NEW JOBS” that really were Covid laid off workers finally getting back to work.
Why give this human debris and prix like him any news space? He needs to be totally blacked out from the American consciousness. He’s a proven cypher. Forget about him.
