Peter Schiff Says Trump Isn’t Making The ‘Affordability Crisis’ Better, Challenges President To A Debate: ‘He’s Making It Worse’

Peter Schiff challenged President Donald Trump on Saturday to a debate on the U.S. economy and inflation, after Trump called the economist a “loser” and a “jerk” on social media.

In an X post, Schiff responded to Trump’s criticism of his views on the rising cost of living in the U.S.

“Trump claims I hate him because I told the truth about inflation. He’s clearly not aware of all the times I endorsed his re-election or defended him against unfair criticism and lawfare while Biden was president,” Schiff said.

Schiff defended his stance, stating that both Trump and former President Joe Biden have contributed to the ongoing “affordability crisis” and, rather than fixing it, Trump is making the problem “worse” in his second term.

Schiff challenged Trump, or any of his designees, to a debate on the U.S. economy and his policies, adding, “If I’m as wrong as he says I am, let him prove it.”
