 Trump rips Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as ‘deranged bum’ after he criticized sweeping tariffs
By Emily Crane   
Published Aug. 11, 2025, 7:44 a.m. ET

President Trump blasted Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as a “deranged bum” after the ex-New York Times columnist was critical of his administration’s tariff regime.

“Paul Krugman of the New York Times has been predicting Doom and Gloom ever since my great election success in 2016,” Trump raged in a Truth Social post late Sunday.

“In other words, he has been wrong for YEARS, as ALL markets have been hitting new HIGHS, and are now higher than ever before.”

“People stayed out of the ‘BEST MARKET IN HISTOY’ [sic] because of this Trump Deranged BUM. Sue them!” he added.

Paul Krugman having one tells you all you need to know about the Nobel Prize.

When has Krugman ever been correct on economics?

Exactly. Why pay him any attention and give him any sort of relevance?

Evidently back in the day, he showed great insight about business siting decisions, for which work he was awarded the Nobel. 

My attitude toward Krugman has always been that if he is making pronouncements about business siting decisions, his views should be taken into account and probably accepted, but if his is making pronouncements about anything else, one would be more likely correct if one took the opposite view.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Yep, Krugman the less-likeable/nastier version of Jim Cramer..."opposite day" every day.
