Trump Goes Nuclear on Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Paul Krugman Over Tariffs Jab: ‘Deranged BUM’
By
President Donald Trump unleashed on Nobel Prize-winning economist and ex-New York Times columnist Paul Krugman as a “deranged BUM” for articles panning his administration’s tariff regime.
Krugman left The Times after two and a half decades in early December to start his own Substack, where he has been a vocal critic of Trump’s tariffs and, like many other economists, has continued to warn how the price of the policy would land with U.S. consumers.
