Orange Julius Caesar goes apeshit on Paul Krugman
https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-rages-at-deranged-bum-nobel-laureate-paul-krugman-in-late-night-meltdown/From the linked article:
Jealousy might also be fueling Trump’s fixation on Krugman. The president has repeatedly stated he wants and even deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and has been put forward for the prestigious honor several times.
His trade adviser, Peter Navarro, has even floated the idea that Trump’s tariff strategy warrants a Nobel Prize for economics, the same honor Krugman won in 2008 for his work on trade theory and new economic geography.
“I’m thinking that since he’s basically taught the world trade economics, he might be up for the Nobel in economics,” Navarro told Fox Business in late July."
