This. Krugman is right about Trump. Maybe he wouldn't be as irritating if he pretended to be a real economist, rather than a partisan hack making feeble attempts at humor.

Yeah, Krugman is a clown though this is entirely by choice. I mean calling him a clown is being kind. He's lying scumbag. I can't think of a better description for someone that has a pattern of using his platform(many years at NYT) to lie over and over again.

Yes, I think I was in a charitable mood when I replied. Lying scumbag works for me.

Tom Woods and Bob Murphy did a podcast on this for years. It wasn't that he was "wrong". It wasn't just that. That I can understand. Its that he would lie. Claim he held positions he didn't. Contradict himself over and over again. Changing your mind is fine. Pretending you never held a different view is not OK.
