PIERS MORGAN: While dumb, deluded Democrats pathetically screech about impeachment, Trump’s firing up the US economy so ferociously he could win by a landslide in 2020
Economic experts don’t get much more expert than Paul Krugman.
The current ‘Distinguished Professor of Economics at City University of New York’ is so eminent in his field that he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2008.
That’s why people were so desperate to know his immediate reaction to Donald Trump winning the 2016 election.
He was unequivocal: this was a catastrophe of almost Biblical proportions.
‘It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump,’ Krugman wrote in a blog for the NYT posted at 12.42am, ‘and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover? Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my speciality. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear. Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.’
Poor Krugman, whose sneering loathing for Trump knows no bounds, was almost inconsolable as he predicted financial Armageddon:
Other economic experts agreed with Krugman.
The Washington Post entitled an editorial: ‘A President Trump could destroy the world economy.’
As predictions go, these are now all right up there with the ones confidently insisting Special Counsel Robert Mueller would find Trump guilty of Russian collusion.
After two-and-a-half years of President Trump, the US economy is in fact powering away and smashing records as it surges.
Last Friday, it was announced that first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3.2%, after widespread predictions of just 2.3%.
