In a Monday interview on Bloomberg TV , Krugman blasted the Republican real-estate magnate as a "racist" who appeals to voters' ugliest instincts. He further suggested that was exactly what fueled Trump's rise in the polls .

"He's a belligerent, loudmouth racist with not an ounce of compassion for less fortunate people," Krugman told Bloomberg anchor Joe Weisenthal, who previously worked at Business Insider. "In other words: He's exactly the kind of person the Republican base consists of and identifies with."

Krugman added, "It's clear that the very things that Upper West Side New Yorkers find detestable about him are exactly what endear him to the Republican base, which is basically people who see in him everything — even the big red face and the yelling — that makes him their kind of guy."
