Would this be the same Paul Krugman that in November 2016 predicted:

"On the question of when markets would recover, Krugman stated, "a first-pass answer is never." He followed this by explaining his view that the combination of Trump's ignorance of economic policy and the world's already fragile state would lead to a global recession.

FWIW, the S&P 500 closed at 2,239 in December 2016 and is currently 6,750.
