Unlike Dotard, and the clowns that he listens to, Paul Krugman is a Nobel Prize winning economist.

 Boss Hogg’s main man, Peter Navarro, has written a couple books, though, where he quotes Ron Vera many times, when advocating TARIFFS. 

The main problem? Ron Vara doesn’t exist. He’s a figment of Navarro’s imagination and an anagram of his name. This is Trump’s MAIN economic advisor, and a JOKE among ‘real’ economists.

Paul Krugman: 'Trump Is Stupid, Erratic and Weak'

Anyone who thinks Trump's policies are helping "should be kept away from sharp objects and banned from operating heavy machinery," the economist said.

“It’s foolish to think Trump’s pivot on tariffs yesterday ― when he announced he was now putting a 10% tariff on every country and a 125% tariff on China for the next 90 days ― has actually improved anything, Krugman said. We’re “still at risk of a major financial crisis” he said, and the rest of the world “now knows that Trump is weak as well as erratic.”

Global uncertainty around Trump’s actions is just as dangerous to the economy as high tariffs, he said.

“So are things settled now? Hardly. The pause is for 90 days. Then what happens? Nobody, Trump included, has the faintest idea,” Krugman wrote.
