text: As one of the most highly acclaimed economists on the planet, Krugman is one of the few people who can clearly and accurately explain how miserably the Republicans fail to understand even the most basic economic principles. 
  
  But despite his efforts, the Rs still manage to sell their "pie in the sky" snake oil remedies, and they end up laughing all the way to the bank.
  
  Trump supporters, of course, will not be able to appreciate Krugman's messages.
