Krugman criticized Trump's proposals, saying, "Even more than usual for a Republican, he appears to have an extremely regressive economic program in mind, one that really will effectively redistribute income away from working-class voters to the top." He highlighted that such policies would lead to higher prices for the working class while benefiting the wealthy.
The economist warned that Trump's tariffs and deportations would hurt the poor: "A lot of people are going to get brutally scammed," he said. This reflects a broader concern that the promises made to the working class may lead to economic harm instead.
