The liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman recently made a sick and irresponsible suggestion on Twitter. He said that maybe Trump would allow a terror attack in America to boost his approval. You know, like Bush did, he suggests.

The Blaze reported:

Liberal NY Times columnist suggests Donald Trump will allow terrorists to attack America on purpose.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman suggested on Twitter Friday that President-elect Donald Trump will intentionally allow terrorists to attack Americans during his presidency, arguing that he has “incentives” to do so.

“Thought: There was (rightly) a cloud of illegitimacy over Bush, dispelled (wrongly) by 9/11. Creates some interesting incentives for Trump,” Krugman tweeted Friday afternoon.

Krugman’s mention of the “illegitimacy” surrounding former President George W. Bush was a reference to the Supreme Court deciding the fate of the 2000 presidential election: Bush over Al Gore. Shortly after that, Democrats labeled Bush “selected not elected.”

But that stigma was erased just a short time later after Al Qaeda attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001. It was Bush’s tough response to terrorism that won the heart of Americans.

Here’s his tweet:


Unreal.

What is wrong with these people?
