    VDare's John Derbyshire on whether Donald Trump regrets taking Jared
    Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question on the campaign
    trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://vdare.com/posts/krugman-vs-krugman-economics-is-a-pseudoscience>
    | Things didn't turn out too well. I wouldn't say Wilson's government
    | was an economic disaster, but no one thought it was an economic
    | triumph. "Lackluster" pretty well describes it, with the devaluation
    | of the pound sterling against the dollar in 1967 as a low point.
    |
    | Ever since then Economics has been down there with Psychiatry in my
    | esteem as not worth taking very seriously.
    |
    | I was therefore not astounded by this Michael Lind article in
    | Monday's edition of Tablet about New York Times columnist Paul
    | Krugman, who is a Nobel Prize-winning economist.

    "On the other hand, Soros called Trump "pitiful" because Trump
    filled his administration with people connected to Soros, proposed
    policies derived from Soros' own initiatives through them, entrusted
    his campaign to them, and then wondered why it all fell apart in the
    end." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1626813741613436928>
