Peter Schiff – YouTube, Released on 5/15/25

Peter Schiff discusses the recent relief rally in stock markets following a temporary truce in the trade war, highlighting the role of President Trump’s policies in both creating and defusing market tensions. He criticizes the Trump administration’s handling of tariffs and trade deficits, predicting that the U.S. economy is weaker than expected and will face significant challenges due to de-dollarization and rising interest rates. Schiff also scrutinizes the latest tax bill, arguing it fails to address core issues like the inefficiencies of the FDA and misaligned incentives in healthcare. He warns that temporary market gains are misleading and that fundamental economic vulnerabilities remain unaddressed.
