Trump Calls Bitcoin Critic Peter Schiff a ‘Loser,’ Slams Fox for Featuring Him — Schiff Fires Back With Debate Challenge
Summary
U.S. President Donald Trump publicly attacked economist and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff on Truth Social after Schiff appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend, warning that "Trumponomics" was worsening inflation and affordability. Trump called Schiff a "Trump-hating loser" and criticized Fox News for featuring him, insisting that prices were falling.
