Top economists predict Trump as economic disaster, same as 2016

A group of distinguished economists recently penned a letter cautioning voters about the potential economic disaster of a second term for former President Trump. Surprisingly, many of these Nobel Prize-winning economists had issued similar warnings in 2016. The group, led by Joseph Stiglitz, highlighted concerns about inflation in their current letter, citing fears that Trump’s policies could reignite inflation.

Despite their efforts to warn against Trump’s economic policies, the American economy flourished during his first term until the onset of the pandemic. The group includes names like George Akerlof, Sir Angus Deaton, and Claudia Goldin among others, who have been vocal critics of Trump’s economic approach.
