Jonathan V. Last asks Paul Krugman to comment on Trump talking with the "cool dictator" Bukele about building gulags and encouraging Bukele to build them. Krugman responds that it's interesting that, as Trump ran for president, a lot of folks said, "Oh, that won't happen." The "smart and savvy" crowd said, "Don't freak out."
And they all turned out to be very wrong.
