I missed it, anyone fill me in.

Peter Navarro wrote a book and basically quoted his own David Dennison, Ron Vera, about how great tariffs are and then Kushner cold called him and invited him to join Trump I.

the0point.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I think I had heard it was Navarro, but my god.

He needs to be impeached. It has to start today. The longer this goes the worse it will get.

Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's a fictional economist basically

givemegrace.bsky.social•17 hours ago

It's Navarro making sh*t up- he claimed he found a book on amazon by a famed economist (whose name is an anagram of Navarro).

seed2bloom.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Another tool of extortion, imagine what it will cost corporations and countries to "get off" the tariffs naughty list! This episode of Nightmare at Pennsylvania Ave S2 reality shit-show, "Golf Over Everything!" 🤬🤬🤬

Horrible. Peter Navarro, who made up his expert source.

Just when you think you’ve heard the worst! 🤯 With the frump clown brigade, there’s no low that’s too low.

This would probably be rejected as a movie screenplay for being too far-fetched.

owlmedicine.bsky.social•16 hours ago

No - too terrifying to even contemplate as a possibility of playing out in real life.

elle7420.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Project 25 creator had a hand in this fiasco. When has the guy in the Oval ever had more than a concept for anything?

teresahaag.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yes, she breaks it down so well doesn’t she? it’s all starting to make sense.

silvered-mane.bsky.social•16 hours ago

And yet Peter Navarro is invited on TV for his opinions.

mattbis.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Exactly. Stop this equal time bull. In their attempts to present a both sides discussion, the msm inadvertently legitimize the liars.

Trump asked Jared to do some research about economic policy since he didn’t have one in 2016. Jared found a title of a book on Amazon called How China dies or something like that and it was supposed to be written by or quoted Peter Navarro-remember the Trump guy who complained about how he was 1/

resepeeps-18.bsky.social•17 hours ago

arrested and put in shackles and told Ari Melber about the coup? Well, Navarro told Jared the info was from a guy named Ron Vara-who doesn’t exist!!! Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro. So tariffs actually came from Navarro who is a fool!

It’s like when Trump fired the 6 NSA leaders because 2/

Laura Loomer said they were disloyal-she’s a conspiracy theorist but the last one in the room so he listened to her. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

I have heard many similar poor decisions made in the business world bubble. 😵‍💫

agulbuf.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yes, but have you read the book by, um, Sherry Filinill? Her expertise is unmatched and I would definitely crash the economy if she said so.

Basically, our lives are being ruined by a couple of buffoons who invented their own alter egos to give themselves credibility. Then the buffoons got together and had a baby, and named it "tariffs."

lauraleeb.bsky.social•17 hours ago

He thinks—sort of—that he can fund the government with tariffs no matter what they do domestically and internationally. He wants to eliminate the IRS and the Federal Reserve.

purpleflannelpjs.bsky.social•9 hours ago

It's basically a national sales tax. Something like that. And it's ridiculous.

psykellygy.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Ron Vara is David Dennison’s John Barron.

resepeeps-18.bsky.social•17 hours ago

First Navarro leads an insurrection and now he leads the destruction of our economy. This guy is a disaster.

veronica-ffs.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Yes, this has been known for quite some time.

jenvb656.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Oh what a world. Pete (Ron) discusses tariffs in Section 4-The Economy of Project 2025. He discusses 'Free Trade' beginning on page 796.

irwinglenn.bsky.social•16 hours ago

It helps to explain why a lying liar would, of course, believe another liar is a self-anointed "expert".

How John Barron of him.

mozo44.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Incredible! Let people know what is really happening!
Stop the destruction of our country/world with the truth!

It’s fitting, though, right?
He does not know or understand reality.
Whether Republicans will assert their Constitutional authority or not is another test of our republic.
