Ok, thanks for your mental illness diagnosis, Freud!
Business Insider, Jan 24, 2017
Paul Krugman, the Nobel Memorial Prize-winning economist and liberal New York Times columnist, questioned President Donald Trump’s mental health in a tweet Tuesday morning.
“An American first: a president who was obviously mentally ill the moment he took office,” Krugman tweeted along with a New York Times report that Trump brought up debunked claims that millions of people voted illegallyin the election, causing him to lose the popular vote, during a Monday night meeting with Congressional leaders.
“Thanks, Comey,” he added, referring to FBI Director James Comey.
Krugman has criticized Trump repeatedly since his election — questioning Trump’s business conflicts of interest, his Cabinet nominees, the involvement of Russia in his election, and more. But this is the first time Krugman called into question the mental fitness of the president.
Trump received a clean bill of health from his doctor before the election.
Krugman has also been critical of Comey, arguing that Comey’s letter to Congress regarding the renewed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server swung the election in Trump’s favor.
Krugman highlighted part of a Washington Post article about Trump’s attitude after the election. “Read it and shudder,” he wrote.
In subsequent tweets, Krugman said that despite Trump’s best efforts, the growing difference between increasing US interest rates due to rate hikes from the Federal Reserve and the interest rates throughout the rest of the world would increase the strength of the US dollar. A strong dollar would be harmful to US manufacturing, offsetting any pro-manufacturing policies from Trump, Krugman said.

Hi Trevor. I’ve been looking for you dear. It’s Michelle. @mamarottweiler. Find me on GAB.ai
Look at the people in tne photo here. Even those that were agsinst Trump NOW are smiling just to keep their own jobs NOW.
These are the traitors Ryan McConnel et all.
@paulkrugman, Trump obviously mentally ill ? We’d be now hurtling towards thermonuclear extinction had Killary got in, and that by fraud.
I see you do not allow comments which might offer another POV for readers to consider. As your hero Trump might say: HORRIBLE!
ed note–we have dealt with that ‘POV’ as you put it, have found it as intellectually/factually bankrupt as the ‘no one died at Sandy Hook’ nonsense and for that reason, do not allow pro-Zionist propagandists an open forum for spewing their nonsense on this website. If you are looking for a platform for that, there are plenty around, including unfortunately within this ‘movement’, but you will get no airtime here as we are not in the business of assisting the enemy in our own destruction.
Trump is obviously a Jew.
One sure sign is pronouncing the word ALL as “ooh-all” which Trump does.
(Another is COFFEE as “cyaw-fee”).
He all sounded just like Jackie Mason when he said “They’re not bringing their best and brightest”.
ed note–as the readers of this website know, as a general rule of thumb, comments such as these get shit-canned faster than you can say the word ‘idiot’.
However, we post this here in the interests of underscoring a theme which we discuss often here, which is the double-edged sword that is this thing known as the ‘internet’. While it has been good in the sense that talented thinkers/writers/commentators now have an avenue opened to them in bettering the (possibility of) discourse with their ideas, at the same time, it has been a disaster in the sense that it has also afforded numbskulls such as our commentor here (who asserts with inflexible, infallible, and dogmatic certainty that ‘Trump is obviously a Jew’, basing his ‘expert’ opinion on the fact that Trump says certain words with a New York drawl, something that is perfectly understandable given the fact that Trump hails from–drum role please–New York) who collectively can now be said to represent an oligarchy of sorts best described as an Idiocracy.
