(Natural News) The Alt-Left’s attacks on President Donald J. Trump are taking on an even nastier tone as these disgusting human beings continue to try and separate him from his widening base of support.

Most of the time the things Leftists attempt to smear Trump with are complete fabrications, and of course in those cases the main culprits are so-called “journalists” and “reporters” from the establishment media.

One of the latest attempts to blatantly lie about the president came from “economist” and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who — as reported by The Daily Caller — attempted to blame Trump for a non-existent outbreak of cholera in post-Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico, as if the island’s inhabitants didn’t have enough to deal with already.

Krugman, an anti-Trump political antagonist who often refers to the president with the derogatory phrase “Trumpie,” claimed on Twitter recently that the fake cholera outbreak had spread through the U.S. territory which was devastated by Maria, a Category 4 behemoth that wiped out the island’s already-dilapidated power grid and left neighborhoods flooded.

The Daily Caller noted further:

Like many liberals, Krugman has claimed that Trump has failed to respond adequately to the storm, which has left Puerto Rico’s power grid in shambles and many of its citizens without sufficient drinking water and fuel.

But while cholera often appears in areas with poor sanitation and without clean drinking water, the disease has not yet appeared on the island. That didn’t stop Krugman from claiming that it had.

Krugman tweeted, “Cholera. In a US territory. Among US citizens. In the 21st century. Heckuva job, Trumpie.”
