Paul Krugman Mocks Trump For Giving Highest Honor To Someone Who ‘Hits Golf Balls For Money.’ There’s Just One Problem.

Nobel-prize winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman really stepped in it Monday night after disparaging Tiger Woods for receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

In a tweet sent that evening, Krugman said he was “old enough to remember when Presidential Medals of Freedom were given for showing courage and making sacrifices on behalf of the nation and the world. Tiger Woods … hits golf balls for money.”
