Nobel-Prize-winning economist and New York Times legend Paul Krugman loves few things more than going for a run. It helps him clear his head and stay grounded.
So what a shame it is when he’s out jogging and witnesses something as disturbing as this:
Went for a run to distract from my grief, past flooding-snarled traffic. Heard someone yelling nonstop obscenities. Yes, it was the driver of a car covered in Trump stickers yelling at a Black pedestrian. In Princeton.

FYI, Krugman is grieving the loss of his cat Holmes.
RIP Holmes. He seemed fine this morning, but when I checked him this evening he had passed away (heart attack?) My last photo of the two of us pic.twitter.com/Fg3VHZNcJM

And we can certainly believe that Krugman would be very upset, as the loss of a pet can be absolutely devastating.
What we have a more difficult time believing is the rest of Krugman’s account.
