Trump Rages at Nobel-Winning 'Deranged Bum' in Late-Night Meltdown

[Zorro]

The president went after economist Paul Krugman in an irate Truth Social post.

Donald Trump has lashed out at Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman in a late-night rant after he weighed in on the president’s tariffs and the drama surrounding his jobs report.

In a typically irate post on Truth Social, Trump attacked the former New York Times columnist, who was awarded the Nobel in economics in 2008, as a “Deranged BUM” while urging people to adopt his own trigger-happy approach to lawsuits.

“Paul Krugman of the New York Times has been predicting Doom and Gloom ever since my great election success in 2016. In other words, he has been wrong for YEARS, as ALL markets have been hitting new HIGHS, and are now higher than ever before,” Trump posted just before midnight ET on Sunday. “People stayed out of the ‘BEST MARKET IN HISTOY’ [sic] because of this Trump Deranged BUM. Sue them!”

In response, Krugman told the Daily Beast he is “flattered” by the attention from Trump. “He must think people are listening,” Krugman added. “I might add ‘Deranged BUM’ to my profile.”

1. There is no way he is getting one, this effort is funny, keep it up you pathetic swine.

Swine might be too nice, sorry.

2. Loved Krugman's response

That's the way to do it!

[tanyev]

3. Yeah, ok, Donny. *eyeroll*

[Another Jackalope]

7. He may still be awarded the "Nobel Piss Prize"

For pissing all over the country, like no "president" has ever pissed before!

[yorkster]

8. My gawd I almost typed the same thing.

Was going to say that with Russian accent pronunciation would be "piss prize".

Good description on your part of what he has done to the U.S. and elsewhere.

[Seinan Sensei]

11. TSF is pissed-off

When, in fact, he needs to be pissed-on

[rubbersole]

16. You could have if you are a Russian hooker.

[Justice matters.]

34. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait for his sealed grave.

Although it could revive the tourism sector...

[cstanleytech]

35. Or his Presidential Library.

I imagine the bathroom stalls will be the most popular thing there.

[tanyev]

21. With a golden replica of the Manneken-Pis statue from the fountain in Brussels!

[RecoveringJournalist]

28. An alternative

More like "Nobel Piece of 💩 Prize". That he DEFINITELY deserves.

[milestogo]

4. Krugman added. "I might add 'Deranged BUM' to my profile."

[Zorro]

6. He should add "Deranged BUM...with a NOBEL PRIZE"

[ms liberty]

23. Yes, that was a DU'zy!

[dalton99a]

5. Says the deranged, demented, decrepit Donald Trump

[EYESORE 9001]

9. If a Nobel Prize winner is a 'deranged bum'

then why do you crave one so longingly?

[Justice matters.]

36. And will never get it.

[EYESORE 9001]

37. I always thought the 'hungry ghosts' from Buddhist teachings

were strictly spiritual entities - not a sniveling bag of guts which can never be satisfied. This unmet desire is obviously causing a great deal of suffering within aforementioned bag’o guts.

[young_at_heart]

10. Does he know people laugh a him?

I believe there are only a handful of low-information voters who actually believe that his 2016 election was a great success. I remember one of his voters was asked a simple question that he could not answer....."How many branches of government do we have"? He didn't know what a "branch" of government meant!

[speak easy]

31. One branch.

The other two have taken to the wood chipper.

[Grins]

12. Who read it to Trump? Because he - sure as shit - didn't find it on his own. NM

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Yeesh

He'll do anything to get people to stop talking about the fact that he's a 34 times convicted felon, a rapist of a 13 year old girl, and he is in the Epstein Files.

[ananda]

14. I guess I could be called a Deranged Bumhead.

I support Paul Krugman!

[IzzaNuDay]

15. This makes me look forward to when NPP is awarded

It better be to someone else. I want to see Cheeto writhe and scream like something dropped into hot boiling grease!

[rubbersole]

17. There's a cartoon (from the New Yorker IIRC)

that has the Nobel Committee sitting around a conference table and the guy addressing them says "Just for fun, let's give it to Obama again."

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

29. Oh, THANK YOU !!!

I NEEDED to gut laugh about something today and this is it.

Thank you.

[Warpy]

18. Good, the nuttier he gets after sundown, the better

because those evening dinners and other White House functions are going to require more and more drugs to level out his mood and prevent violence and all those drugs have side effects. In addition, a lot of the newer drugs are by infusion, only, so expect to see his little hands swollen and/or bruised.

Evenutally the drugs will stop working, they always do. His impairment is already obvious to those of us who have been in the medical biz. Civilians are only now really starting to spot it.

[erronis]

22. Sundowning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundowning

Sundowning, or sundown syndrome, prevalent among people with some form of dementia, is characterized by increased confusion and restlessness beginning in the late afternoon and early evening.[1] The term sundowning was coined by nurse Lois K. Evans in 1987 due to the association between the person's increased confusion and the setting of the sun.[2][3]

For people with sundown syndrome, a multitude of behavioral problems begin to occur and are associated with long-term adverse outcomes.[4][5][6][7] Sundowning seems to occur more frequently during the middle stages of Alzheimer's disease and mixed dementia and seems to subside with the progression of the person's dementia.[4][5] People are generally able to understand that this behavioral pattern is abnormal. Research shows that 20–45% of people with Alzheimer's will experience some variation of sundowning confusion.[4][8] However, despite lack of an official diagnosis of sundown syndrome in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), there is currently a wide range of reported prevalence.[2]

19. Or as karoline Leavitt would ssy

“Noble” Peace prize

[LuckyLib]

32. I couldn't believe my ears when she said that.

Dumber than a box of rocks.

[Dave Bowman]

20. Says the deranged projecting bum.

[LymphocyteLover]

24. I am a HUGE Krugman fan, have been for over 20 years now.

The president of course is an insane piece of orange shit.

[barbtries]

25. describing himself

because it's a thorn in his side that nobody has or ever will award him the Nobel Peace Prize.

krasnov letting loose with a pack of lies will not get it done.

[SupportSanity]

26. Great response by Krugman!

[AllaN01Bear]

27. ah shuddddup

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

30. Dr. Paul Krugman has been right about damn near everything.

When he gives an interview or posts an op-ed, I make sure to read it and save it.

[Cha]

38. LOL... Yeah, who's the DERANGED ONE?

Check yourself, MF Treasonous Orange Cracked head.

[C Moon]

39. I don't think he'll get a Nobel. But he'll probably create another award "so great and so much better."

[Easterncedar]

40. Note the gold trophy "Tim Apple" gave him

Like laying tribute at the feet of a Byzantine emperor. Grotesque.
