Krugman said the US economy would never survive a Trump presidency.
He still has credibility to you? How wrong would he have to be, and how often, before you might conclude that he is the moron?

It has a comical quote from one member of Trump's administration, who apparently does not understand what the wealthy do with their money that is such a benefit to the rest of us.

how’s he doing so far, at this moment?
and if a recession comes in the next two years, as everyone predicts, is that necessarily trumps fault?

Are you saying that Krugman said the economy would not survive the first two years of Trump, that’s not what you just said
Just like all the past two years that Trump has claimed, he gets the next two also
Why would he not

"how does credible apply to repeating an official "
I don't know what that sentence means.
But when someone was as colossally wrong as Krugman was, it seems to me that he is driven by political ideology rather than economic truth. So I am stunned that anyone would ever believe him. He has no credibility. Clearly he will lie to smear politicians he doesn't like.
"Apple was going to create 20,000 new jobs, a new domestic campus and other spending."
Over 5 years, so no not yet. They also paid $38 billion to the feds in taxes, when they brought $250 billion back to the US.
There is no evidence Apple will renig. There is plenty of evidence that Krugman was full of crapola. GDP growth is robust, interest rates have been raised, meaning they can be cut again if needed to stimulate growth, the last jobs report was fantastic. But a recession is still coming, regardless of who was POTUS, but obviously we will survive. Krugman said the economy would not survive. You think there's ANY CHANCE that's true? That we literally won't exist because of Trump?
