‘Trumponomics has utterly failed’: Paul Krugman details why the GOP’s economic worldview has collapsed

It’s often taken for granted that, whatever else you might say about President Donald Trump, he has at least been good for the U.S. economy. That, many argue, is the fact that may lead to his re-election in 2020. Except this uncritically accepted pearl of conventional wisdom is quite dubious, as many experts in economics would tell you. One of those experts, Trump-appointed  Fed Chair Jerome Powell , even announced a cut to interest rates this week in light of weak business investment in the economy and the uncertainty caused by the president’s trade wars. Another expert is economist  Paul Krugman , who wrote in a new piece for the New York Times Thursday: “Obviously Powell couldn’t say in so many words that Trumponomics has been a big flop, but that was the subtext of his remarks.

We’re at six retirements and counting, with even Republicans knowing there are more coming, and probably a rash of them while members are back home for the August recess. “Will there be more retirements?
