A Nobel Prize–winning economist has blasted Donald Trump’s attempts to “gaslight” Americans into believing the economy is stronger than it actually is.
Paul Krugman, a former New York Times columnist, wrote on his blog that the president’s effort to convince voters there is no cost-of-living crisis and that food prices aren’t high got off to a “disastrous” start in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
“A number of news analyses suggested that he would use the occasion to blame Democrats for the economy’s troubles. That was never going to happen,” Krugman wrote.
