Former President Donald J. Trump used his Truth Social platform in early August 2025 to criticize Paul Krugman, a columnist formerly with The New York Times who now publishes his own newsletter. Trump accused Krugman of consistently making incorrect predictions, particularly regarding economic conditions since Trump's 2016 election victory. Trump highlighted that despite Krugman's pessimistic forecasts, market indices have reached new highs and are currently higher than before. Trump suggested that people should consider suing Krugman for his inaccurate commentary. These remarks were part of a series of posts made by Trump on Truth Social between August 9 and August 11, 2025.
