Writing in his asininely entitled Immigrants Make America Stronger and Richer op-ed in the New York Times today, veteran economist Paul Krugman – the political version of Jim Cramer – claims President Trump’s “poisoning the blood” comments, first made in an interview with yours truly, indicates that he doesn’t “really care if they came here legally, [he’s] all but saying that what matters is whether they’re white.”
This is a wild and defamatory misappropriation of Trump’s words, which I should probably not have to remind you (nor Krugman) that he made in an interview with a literal brown guy who is not a U.S. citizen.
Krugman’s deployment of the “poisoning the blood” libel comes after months of misrepresentation by his media allies. Always late to the party for fear of being wrong, Krugman manages both in this instance. He’s adept at being a day late and a dollar short. And it’s not the only flub in his article.
“Modern nations can’t — practically or politically — have open borders, which allow anyone who chooses to immigrate,” he opens, adding: “The good news is that America doesn’t have open borders, and there is no significant faction in our politics saying we should. In fact, immigrating to the United States legally is fairly difficult.”
Wildly incorrect, of course. Pravda-style, actually. The icing on the cake? Who he blames:
“Republicans in Congress, while fulminating about a border crisis, appear determined to deny the needed funding. Their position is rooted in extraordinary political cynicism, and they aren’t even trying to hide it: Donald Trump has intervened with Republicans to block any immigration deal because he believes that chaos at the border will help his election prospects.”
No, Paul, the Senate border bill is a fraud. It represents the legalization of open borders while providing more American taxpayer cash to Ukrainian bureaucrats and oligarchs. We understand that’s what you want. But in your lies and attempts to gaslight America over mass migration, you reveal the truth behind what Trump told me: you care not one jot for your fellow American. And you could care less if drugs, disease, or gang crime poisons the blood of this nation. Go on, admit it. It’s the first step.
