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. Speaking to MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, Krugman blasted Trump for instantly dismissing accurate jobs data the moment it turned negative. "If you actually know anything about how they [jobs reports] are put together, it would require basically hundreds, if not thousands, of people to be in on the conspiracy," Krugman said. "This is just silly stuff, and it's clear that if Trump sees a number or a fact he doesn't like, he claims that it's a conspiracy against him."
