Krugman on Trump

Donald Trump has doubled down on the politics of fear. Fear of foreigners, fear of trade, fear of violence, fear of inner cities, etc. Krugman in the NYT, writes about how America is  not a hellhole, that murders and inner city violence are down, and New York City is safer than ever. So why the disconnect? Perhaps our fears “trump” our rational thinking to the point that some will defer their freedom to elect a demagogue.
