Reminds me of the 60 maga lawsuits to overturn 2020 election. Among other laughable claims, most of the suits cited as evidence of fraud the existence of the other suits.
Seriously, I thought Pete Navarro was still in prison till last week when I was in Puerto Rico and his name was mentioned in some local news. I think I was heard shouting, “that little ass⚫️ is now in the east coast and in PR screwing people in the Island?
F, F, F, F!”
Trump and his "administration" are nothing but one scam on top of another scam on top of another scam. All aimed at his suckers who have fallen so far into the cult that they now will believe and/or embrace anything. (And I do mean "anything.")
Trump's tariff war is like shooting himself in the foot with a sledgehammer - hurting American farmers, workers and consumers, while he brags about being a 'negotiating genius'
I'm confused as to how so many media outlets reported extensively on this Navarro/Ron Vara story during Trump 1.0 in 2019 and here we are in 2025 seeing his weak pablum again uncritically regurgitated in those same outlets:
My rhetorical question is why did it take people so long to figure this out? I’ve never once had the urge to read any of Peter Navarro’s writings, but it took me all of 5 seconds to recognize the anagram of his last name when this article was published. 🙄
I'm waiting for the Caligula makes his horse a consul moment; maybe Trump will nominate an underling's AI girlfriend as ambassador to some country in Europe and it will be just a laptop with a name stickered on the back.
“Tom Vara” is derived from Peter Navarro’s own name according to a Rachel Maddow show last week & this article. In essence,Navarro used a fictional character, named after his own self,to tout & reaffirm his “unusual views” on the economy.Seems honesty is one thing not in abundance in this regime.
They have no one left to collect tariffs. No one left to collect taxes. And I might be wrong but don’t think there are millions waiting for a job putting little screws into new i-phones.
Sounds familiar because it is -- Trump invented alter egos to talk to reporters on the phone and praise himself for nonexistent qualities like business acumen and attractiveness to women. (They never suspect a thing!) He even named his youngest son after one. His father also used a pseudonym.
Similar to Trump calling in to various reporters, and others like Howard Stern, over the years using pseudo names to compliment and praise Donald J. Trump…
Ron Vara is an anagram for Navarro. That’s the expert we are basing commerce policy on. A made up economist who was invented to help sell a book on how to do this when no real expert would support the idea.
Wow, if only these people could admit they are losers and then they'd stand a chance at learning what they're actually good at. As it now stands, they have to keep finding ridiculous ways to propr themselves up, lying and cheating and bullying all the way.
This is why our nation is about to implode. Because Trump and his admin live in a fairytale land. Everybody else lives in reality and has to deal with REAL life issues with REAL life consequences.
What if we importers and manufacturers didn't pay the tariffs on all our containers coming in? What if we just said "Nah, too much." How long before the ports would become unusable from all the containers sitting there? This sh!t is getting ridiculous.

When one’s opinion is validated by one’s point of view and the resultant predictions are founded on one’s biases which inform that opinion and POV what could possible go wrong?
God fucking dammit, no matter how fucking dumb dumb you think it is, it’s so much dumber.
Captain bankruptcy needs an economic advisor and tasks noted dipshit and nepo baby Jared, who scans book titles on Amazon, and picked an author who made up his source.
Pete Navarro is a great liar, BTW, he is not a Latino, he is hated in San Diego, and that definitely makes him a great Trump’s dumb ass MAGA team member.
Gees, they are all the same!
This story should have ended their first term and few reported about this fraud… normalized lying and falsehoods just like Don Davidson.
Found it all amusing instead of Psychosis.
Ron Vara is a case study in how fabricated authority can be used to support ideology, erode public trust, and blur the line between truth and propaganda.
A red flag for how pseudo-authority can seep into policymaking, especially in populist or ideologically driven administrations.

#Navarro was one so "liberal" that Dems in San Diego distrusted him. He has always been a raving opportunist seeking maximal attention with the least effort. He found his ride.
I'm surprised that Peter Navarro is still alive. He claimed, shortly before his 4 month jail sentence commenced, that his sentence was so severe that it would result in death for anyone his age. 🙄
i want to know when Joe and Eileen Bailey meets Ron Vara .. which politician’s head is this shit imaginary thing happening .. my bet .. The spineless castrated John Thune
I guess when you can’t find a single expert to agree with you, you have to invent one. Oh well I guess Navarro is amongst the other crazies running the asylum these days.
The important economic policies are coming from Peter Navarro and praised by his fictional expert, Ron Vara, himself! I’m sure Ron has very serious intellectual discussions with the President!

The beatings will continue until morale improves..
Democrats: become proactive or get swept away, you're no match for Trump in your current state.
Quelle surprise!
F, F, F, F!”

Someone get them to a mental health professional, stat.
…
Seriously?
Again
This is what you get when you’re not just a liar but a narcissistic liar.
Only the best people…
Aw.....
Navarro = Ron Vara
It’s him making the name up from his name

That tracks.
“I am Lord Voldemort," the archenemy of Harry Potter, is actually an anagram of "Tom Marvolo Riddle."
"Ron Vara," the fake Economics expert constantly cited by Peter Navarro to support his theories is actually an anagram of “Navarro."
At least Voldemort didn't constantly cite Tom Riddle.

Who the fckng goddamned hell published these books w/o doing diligence on sources?

But it's not a cult.
Or is that obvious to everyone and it's embarrassing I'm mentioning it? 😆
But Ron Vara IS embarrassing as is his cringe alter ego…
Find a self-reviewing economist to set policy while searching for books on economics on Amazon.
Use AI for a list of countries that includes places inhabited solely by penguins.
Use the dumbest formula ever to calculate tariffs.
Sell their stock, implement, leave town.
