‘A Lot’ Of Trump Voters Will Be ‘Brutally Scammed’

[Guno צְבִי]

“A lot of people” who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election “are going to get brutally scammed” when the president-elect returns to the White House next week and enacts his “really radical” and “terrible” economic policy ideas, economist Paul Krugman predicted on Tuesday.

Trump’s plan “to raise tariffs but cut taxes on high income” will batter working-class voters, Krugman told The New Republic’s Greg Sargent

The returning president “appears to have an extremely regressive economic program in mind, one that really will effectively redistribute income away from working-class voters to the top,” and there appears to be a lack of Wall Street “heavyweights” who could “steer him away” from his most destructive instincts, Krugman said.

Sargent noted how a “fairly large” swathe of Trump’s base is actually made up of small business owners. “Aren’t those people going to get brutally scammed by tariffs here?” he asked Krugman.

Krugman, who was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 2008 and left his longtime opinion columnist gig at The New York Times just last month, agreed.

“A lot of people are going to get brutally scammed,” he said, noting that some local business owners are possibly “the most fervent MAGA types out there.”

“Small business people are the people that he’s all through his life hired as contractors and then not paid, right?” he added. “Scamming people like that is what his whole life has been around.”

Guano, thank GOD you are safe.

Krugman is a world class idiot.

Nobel Prize winning Krugman is one of the greatest living economists.

One man's opinion does not a movement make.

So what? Obama got one. It's meaningless. It's a useless bauble

trump really desperately wants a Nobel Prize, and will probably never be awarded one.

Yeah you should change the subject

 

[Walt]

Yeah you should change the subject

Why? I am fine with talking about Krugman being one of the greatest living economists, and about trump not even knowing basics of economics.

Too bad he's an idiot. You claimed getting a nobel prize is evidence of his brilliance. Well that shit don't fly because obama got one for being an expert in nothing.

Trump attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in economics.

What degrees in economics do you have, Walter?

He knew enough to get elected, Walter.

Poor Walter.

 

[Walt]

Too bad he's an idiot.

Actually, Krugman is a genius. We would be better off if we listened to him more often.

You are impressed with a Bachelors degree?

In my world, I am made fun of for only having a Masters degree. In your world, a Bachelors degree is amazing. I guess we live in different worlds.

trump is probably the worst educated president we have had in several decades. I guess Ford may have been less educated, so that is 50 years.

I mean, he had never heard of the GDP contracting. That is just sad.

He's a brain dead idiot and he has a nobel bauble to prove it

Krugman is a world class idiot.

If you HONESTLY think Trump is capable of formulating a plan to "fix" America's problems you would be the world class idiot. SURELY even a devout Trumpist MUST see that the man is in it for one thing and one thing only: all eyez on Trump.

That's all he ever wants. That's why he doesn't actually understand anything related to government or the Constitution. He's a gold-plated moron who specializes almost Rainman-like on AUDIENCE. He is always and ONLY ever looking for an audience and he knows the kind of stupid circus shit we Americans are naturally attracted to and he pedals it like it's going out of style.

SURELY YOU MUST see this in the man. Or you would have to be a world class idiot.

ANYONE who HONESTLY thinks Trump is going to put tariffs across the board on all foreign goods and that it won't result in INCREDIBLE cost spikes here at home is a world class moron.

ANYONE who HONESTLY believes that Trump will "mass deport" Illegals is also a world class moron.

NONE OF THIS SHIT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FOR YOU. Trump will FAIL YOU. The only way he will "succeed" is if you guys just do what you always do and look at the shit that dribbles out of his Depends and call it WONDERFUL MANNA FROM HEAV'N ABOVE.
