February 3, 2020 When last we left you with Paul Krugman, the liberal New York Times columnist was fangirling cheering on House Intel Chair Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) opening statement at the start of the Senate’s impeachment trial. Of Schiff’s performance and “leadership”, Krugman opined that “On this front, at least, the party is doing something right”:
As I noted in my post at the time, the tweet was an indicator that clearly Krugman is still struggling through a credibility crisis that arguably started at the time Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016. Like many other liberal elites, Krugman went into Code Red mode in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. In a piece published shortly after Trump won, the Nobel Prize winner predicted an economic doomsday scenario worldwide due to Trump’s election: In retrospect, Krugman was clearly wrong about what would happen under a Trump economy, as he is frequently reminded when he weighs in on the issues of the day:
Just last week, in fact, Krugman appeared on the PBS program “The Firing Line” with host Margaret Hoover and one of the topics discussed was a recent tweet from Trump calling for him to be fired from the New York Times:
Because the only thing bigger than his propensity to make embarrassingly bad predictions is his ego, Krugman responded by suggesting he was living “rent-free” in Trump’s head:
Considering Krugman’s extreme TDS tendencies have been called out even by people who are otherwise big fans of his work, one could argue that the “rent-free” thing goes the other way around. Regardless, he again made the claim during the interview with Hoover last week, while also reluctantly acknowledging some things about the economy under Trump by way of giving him a few backhanded compliments: Watch:
Firing Line with Margaret Hoover  He was also quick to claim during the interview and on Twitter that he had “retracted” his dire prediction three days after he made it:
Although if you read it, the only thing he retracted was in his initial insinuation that the global economic collapse would be immediate. In his revised version, he still predicted a collapse, but noted it would happen “over time.” Over three years later, though, his prediction still hasn’t come to pass. And yet here he is — still getting it wrong. Never change, Kruggie. Never change.  Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months |
