Trump Honeymoon Ends Before Marriage Begins

Peter Schiff

Peter said he sees the President-Elect’s recent comments to the Wall Street Journal about the overvaluation of the dollar as representing an unstated “falling dollar” policy—one that candidate Trump espoused his entire campaign.

“Donald Trump always talked about the overvalued dollar when he was a candidate. He didn’t always say, ‘the dollar is overvalued.’ He would say, ‘foreign currencies are undervalued,’ which is basically like saying the same thing only using different words … If he wants foreign currencies to appreciate, then by definition, he wants the dollar to depreciate.”

As expected, the dollar tumbled 1.2% shortly thereafter Trump’s statements. It’s currently down nearly 1% against the Japanese yen and Mexican peso, according to MSN.
