That know nothing Paul Krugman. I mean, what does he know? Yeah, he’s got a Nobel prize. Trump has a Nobel prize. Donald got it the way he got most things, by bullying. Or lying. Or both.

Krugman got it because he knows something. Donald knows nothing.

Krugman got his Nobel in economics. Donald knows economics the hard way. Every business  he has had has failed. What does he say about that? He has a secret way of dealing with it. It’s called lying. Shhh. And done continuously to try and convince others the technique is called “Gas Lighting”.

A well known fortune in a fortune cookie says, “A fool will find a greater fool to admire him.” Let’s not quibble over the fact that it’s not a fortune. It’s in fortune cookies ergo it’s a fortune. Shut up. Enter Scotty B. !!!

Paul, I’m on a first name basis with Dr. Krugman, has pointed out that before Donald took office he said the economy was going to take off. And it would have. Well, it already did. Fortunately, Mr. Trump inserted his foot on them darn pedals, grabbed the reins and puled up hard while turn the steering wheel to the right and managed to put the feller in the ditch. It took effort, but he did it. Otherwise, he would have had to blame Biden who set him up. Yes. The economy which was taking off would have really done well. Whew. Dodged a close one.

And can you imagine the gall of Dr. Krugman to use charts to prove it? Fake News!! Except these are the same sources he’s always used. How did he summarize it?

Economic growth has slowed despite the AI boom,

Inflation is up,

Interest rates are up.

Sorry, I miswrote. That’s not what he stated. Let me try again:

Inflation has accelerated.

Interest rates have surged.

Accelerated? Surged? Arent’ those good words for an economy?

And in other news, Canada has now cut long term deals with other countries for things it needs because the U.S. can no longer be depended upon as a reliable partner. This will live long after Trump leaves office, which he won’t so I guess we don’t have to worry about that. Trump III? No? Pesky Constitution.

Farmers in Iowa are pissed at him I don’t know why. I just saw the headline. More on that later.

Hey, funny thing, no one talked about election fraud or problems with mail in ballots until this guy came along. Wonder why? You know what? Maybe it’s because there were no problems until this guy came along? Sources say there still is no problem with election fraud or mail in ballots, but don’t worry, he’s on it. And if he gets his way – There will be election fraud and problems with Mail-in ballots.

In Georgia one of the aides to the Republican guy challenging for the Senate seat … has a photograph with him in a KKK get up. So what?

In Florida, ten million dollars for hungry poor kids, was redirected via shell companies into two Republican political campaign operations. No one knows how that happened. Hence, no criminal charges. Do the kids get fed? Probably not.
