I’d like you all to meet Peter Navarro. It’s worth the read:

> **[Peter Navarro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Navarro)**

> Peter Kent Navarro (born July 15, 1949) is an American economist and author who is currently the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for U.S. president Donald Trump. He previously served in the first Trump administration, first as the director of the White House National Trade Council, then as the director of the new Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.
> Navarro is a professor emeritus of economics and public policy at the Paul Merage School of Business of the University of Califo...

You can readily see Navarro’s fingerprints on pretty much everything in Trump 1.0 _and_ 2.0.

“Far outside the mainstream” is often a euphemism for ‘bat-shit crazy.’ That’s how I’ve always read Navarro. He seems frankly criminal, too.

Gee. I wonder why/how they picked him…
