New York Nearly 700 economists, including seven Nobel winners, are urgently warning against the reelection of President Donald Trump, citing what they describe as a"sustained assault" on democracy, a bumbled response to the pandemic and the spread of"dangerous misinformation."

"In just one term in office, Donald Trump has rendered the United States unrecognizable, and has faced no consequences for doing so," the economists wrote in an open letter, which is being updated until the November 3 election. The letter was signed by prominent economists from major institutions, including Nobel laureates Paul Milgrom and Oliver Hart and Alvin Roth . George Akerlof, the Nobel winning husband of former Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen, also signed the letter.

Funny how that describes CNN.

Fake news cnn

Yeah sure...

Your network is a joke!!!

So does international diplomats, chancellors, presidents, prime ministers. the NATO alliance, the EU. The partners in the China South Sea Alliance, HRW, etc as far as military agreements, international relationships and human rights

UTTER LIES. UTTER PROPAGANDA POISON

Let me tell you about these 'economists'. They graduated from school and wrote a paper on how printing money is good. Viola! Here's your degree.

Aaaahahahahaaaaa, you at it again?

So, economists are now experts on pandemics and democracy, so we should listen to them?......but when over 30,000 scientists got together to claim CAGW wasn't the threat you claim it to be, we were told not to listen to them.....CNN should be called Agenda 2030 News.

I can find 800 dog walkers to say the same thing

From CNN a 'trusted' source on reporting on all things Trump

Who can say Biden is better then trump ? Biden has more war crimes on his credit then Trump. Yes Trump is dimwitted arrogant imbecile fool, but he can never compare in evil with Biden

Opinions are the best!

More fake news from CNN, hilarious.

You just mad me laugh

Who can say Biden is not a war criminal ? Who supported Iraq war who supported Afghanistan war ? How many civilians were killed in those two wars ? How many war crimes were done during those wars

Assault on democracy? He hasn’t listened to anyone the last 4 years ! It looks more like a dictatorship than a democracy ! And we all know what dictators do in the last days of power

The Chattering Classes are quaking! Deus Vult!!! Trump Landslide!

knew this 4 years ago! and we have had to suffer with his ignorance for the last 4 years

700 is small number...not enough to stop him.

Democracy...i think the CCP will be most pleased with Trump's re-election. Hold on, wasn't Trump that raised all those tariffs on China? Why would the CCP want Trump re-elected. Ok, the CCP believes in democracy that's why they want Biden in and Hunter to get the back handers

Who cares what they want. It's what we the people want.

HKrassenstein

Did you get to the economists about well Donald was doing for the economy . I don't think you did

Here is the real danger. Why don’t you report on this?

How's Tollis doing

Lock him up is coming 🔜🔜🔜🔜☑️

I wonder what cnn fate will be after TRUMP IS re-elected

Now get the 1500 who say otherwise....

This is the second time chaos around election has occurred and the common denominator is Trump; I am tired of this unethical chaotic behavior. I will be glad when this is over; he brings nothing but misery and hate; my god have mercy on his sick soul

CNN is just scared, they report the opposite of reality

This article is just political tripe. It has no bases in reality, it's rife with platitudes, and partisanship.

Who's this sound like? Sociopaths may use “mind games” to control others. They lie & deceive others for personal gain. They don't feel guilty or remorse for harming others. They have a strong sense of superiority, & strong unwavering opinions. Vote, to save America

And yet, there are still 1/3 of Americans who think donald is awesome. How is this even possible. Decent, brilliant, humane thinkers the world over, in every area of expertise from economics to pandemics are saying the same thing.... Vote donald OUT!

Economistas não entendem de política, alguns até não entendem de economia.

You wasn’t saying this in January when all was lost for the Democratic Party 😂😂😂

These the same economists like Krugman that said the economy would collapse right after his initial election? That didn’t work out too hot for them.

This is the most damning evidence I have seen from the most respected group of professionals that condemns the Trump presidency and strongly recommends voting him OUT of office.

Wow
