在諾貝爾經濟學獎得主、前《紐約時報》專欄作家保羅·克魯格曼批評特朗普政府的關稅政策後,特朗普總統猛烈抨擊這位“精神失常的流浪漢”。
“自從我在2016年大選中大獲全勝以來,《紐約時報》的保羅·克魯格曼就一直在預測經濟將麵臨厄運,”特朗普周日晚間在Truth Social網站上發帖怒斥道。
“換句話說,他多年來一直錯了,因為所有市場都在創下新高,現在的漲幅比以往任何時候都高。”

“因為這個特朗普精神錯亂的混蛋,人們對‘曆史上最好的市場’敬而遠之。起訴他們!”他補充道。
此前,克魯格曼在去年年底突然辭去了在《紐約時報》工作二十多年的職務,並開始在他新創建的Substack網站上抨擊特朗普的關稅政策。
在周日早些時候發表的一篇文章中,這位經濟學家將大多數關稅描述為“明顯非法”。

他還抨擊特朗普推翻了“90年來的關稅削減”。
“坦白說,我在今天的帖子中要論證的是,特朗普的貿易戰應該被視為一係列政策的一部分,這些政策相當於階級戰爭——針對中低收入美國人,轉而支持富人,尤其是收入分配中最頂層的10%的人,”他寫道。
特朗普對數十個貿易夥伴加征10%至50%關稅的措施已於上周正式生效。
Trump rips Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as ‘deranged bum’ after he criticized sweeping tariffs
By Emily Crane Aug. 11, 2025,
President Trump blasted Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman as a “deranged bum” after the ex-New York Times columnist was critical of his administration’s tariff regime.
“Paul Krugman of the New York Times has been predicting Doom and Gloom ever since my great election success in 2016,” Trump raged in a Truth Social post late Sunday.
“In other words, he has been wrong for YEARS, as ALL markets have been hitting new HIGHS, and are now higher than ever before.”

t comes after Krugman, who late last year abruptly quit the Times after more than two decades there, started trashing Trump’s tariffs in his newly created Substack.
In one article published earlier Sunday, the economist described most of the tariffs as “clearly illegal.”
“Not to be coy about it, what I’ll argue in today’s post is that Trump’s trade war should be seen as part of a package of policies that amounts to class warfare — class warfare against middle and lower-income Americans in favor of the affluent, especially the top 10% of the income distribution,” he wrote.
Trump’s higher tariff rates of 10% to 50% on dozens of trading partners officially went into effect last week.
