Here’s one that comes with a “hot take warning” — wear oven mitts before handling this Paul Krugman doozy:

Starting to look like two possible outcomes: Trump and a number of others end up in jail, or thousands of journalists end up in prison camps https://t.co/I9DpBQFwtm — Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) September 27, 2019

Krugman would never exaggerate, would he?

There are a lot of ways impeachment could go, but these two outcomes are so laughable I thought they came from a parody account. https://t.co/1jUHln4LUB — Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) September 28, 2019

We consider Krugman’s account to be a parody, even if Twitter doesn’t insist that he list it as such.

Only journos who present false dichotomies to serve their political interests. https://t.co/Sn8uMiiS9K — Pete D'Abrosca for Congress (@pdabrosca) September 28, 2019

Can you imagine what 2009 to 2017 would have looked like if these same idiots had shown this much interest in potential presidential corruption? — Debra Heine (@NiceDeb) September 28, 2019

Nobody is ending up in prison camps, you insufferable nitwit. https://t.co/oXw1fhbkqW — Ornery (@OrneryThe8th) September 28, 2019

When you're publishing lies, you have to find a way to justify them. This offers some insight into a prized legacy media columnist's disturbing conspiracy mongering and total detachment from reality.https://t.co/qE0UfMo7Yy — Jordan Schachtel (@JordanSchachtel) September 28, 2019

Looks like @paulkrugman doesn't believe in the grey area. Or nuance. Or logic. https://t.co/9pxQgAPS9z — Devon Martinez (@devon_M51) September 28, 2019

However, considering the accuracy track record of the Nobel Laureate economist, maybe neither of those things will happen:

How the hell did a man with such a limited imagination win a Nobel Prize.

How about a third option. The Congress will look like fools (again) and the world will continue without a glitch? https://t.co/s9zLmppB8P — Uninspected (@bbbesser) September 28, 2019

From anyone with a better predictive record than PK I'd find this prospect alarming. https://t.co/4PcfBpZO0p — simon evans (@TheSimonEvans) September 28, 2019

I'm thinking he's as right about this as he's been about anything lately within his "area of expertise"- which is to say not much. https://t.co/piYbU98MAI — David Willis (@deadeyedave5157) September 28, 2019

I wish there was a place to bet on Krugman predictions. That’d be easy money! — John Rambo (@JohnJ2427) September 28, 2019

Let’s just say Krugman’s batting average with his predictions is incredibly low.
