text: Not quite, Silverhorn. Krugman, writing at 1 AM election night, predicted a global recession. Next morning he apologized publicly (does Trump ever do that? How about Bill O'Reilly?) and said he had overreacted out of shock, which is understandable - I had the same reaction, a truly deep gloom as we went from rational Obama administration to Trump. I'm getting used to that now, and so, I assume, is Paul Krugman. I think you exaggerate for effect. If you don't like Krugman's economics, social theory, or politics, that's your business, it harms me not at all.
