Paul Krugman Celebrates Stock Market Rout Because He Thinks It Hurts Trump

[mystery-ak]

John Carney 16 Mar 2020

Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning trade economist and New York Times columnist, celebrated the sharp decline of the stock market due to the coronavirus on the grounds that, in his opinion, it would hurt President Donald Trump.

“Economists, myself included, often make a point of saying that the stock market is not the economy, which it isn’t. It *is,” however, pretty much the Trump presidency,” Krugman tweeted. “Take away his magic talisman and there’s nothing left.”

Krugman was one of the most prominent economists to predict that markets would collapse following the election of Donald Trump.

I don’t think that hoping for more destruction and death to the public just to win an election is something that’s gonna play very well

Not only that, but when this storm passes it is going to rocket back up in all likelihood.

However, it play's just dandy with the cretins who sign Krugman's paychecks.
