More than 700 leading economists, including 7 Nobel winners, urge US voters to reject Trump, a 'selfish and reckless' president


  • More than 700 economists from major US institutions signed an open letter warning against reelecting President Donald Trump.
  • They wrote that Trump's "selfish and reckless behavior" had weakened the economy and described Trump's actions as a "sustained assault" on democracy.
  • "He has a poorly-informed, zero-sum view of economics that engenders needless viciousness and cruelty," the economists wrote.
  • Among the economists are seven Nobel winners, including Paul Milgrom, Oliver Hart, and George Akerlof.

That's funny given that comment from the Fox panel. He said "what about economists? aren't they scientists? don't their recommendations matter?".

One leading economist just said Trump was correct about globalization. The economists name is Paul Krugman. You might have heard of him. He recently wrote a piece apologizing for promoting globalism. He regretted how much it has hurt the American middle class.
