I side with Elon here. Navarro's tariff theory (which is his life's work) is wrong.


Navarro the guy who quoted his own work in his book as a “respected Harvard economist” and just used an anagram of his name ?

From a source most here don’t trust:

“Jared Kushner found Peter Navarro, an economist and senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for U.S. President Donald Trump, after Kushner browsed Navarro's book "Death by China" on Amazon and asked him to join Trump's 2016 presidential campaign as an economic adviser.

“At one point, Ron Vara wrote in the memo that Trump could, quote, ‘Ride the tariffs to victory,’” Maddow said. The problem is, Ron Vara doesn’t exist. He never has. The economics expert that Peter Navarro has long cited to explain why he’s so gung-ho on tariffs, this person, Ron Vara, is a made-up person.”

“He is a fictional person. Peter Navarro invented Ron Vara as his expert source, so he could quote this expert source over and over and over again in his crackpot books,” she continued. “Who is Ron Vara? Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro, which is his last name.”


Only the best people I guess.
