How was Navarro identified regarding his position on China trade and tariffs?

Kushner found Trump advisor Navarro by browsing Amazon​

Jared Kushner found a White House economic advisor by browsing Amazon, Vanity Fair reported Saturday.

Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, was asked by Trump to do research on China, and turned to Amazon, the report said.

There, he found a book co-written by Peter Navarro and was struck by its title, “Death by China.”

{mosads}Kushner then cold-called Navarro and invited him to be an adviser to the Trump campaign, according to the report. Navarro now directs the White House National Trade Council and serves as the Assistant to the President.

When the Trump campaign brought on Navarro, he was the only economic adviser on the team and likely reinforced Trump’s convictions about China’s trade policies.

IOW, Jared found Pete by accident and brought him in to trump's circle of advisers to placate him. You know.........since no credible economist believes tariffs are the all encompassing panacea Don thinks they are.

DEFLECTION ALERT!

Deflection is what we call berg's daily TDS posts about topics no one cares about.

Hey berg, democrats are toxic with a 21% approval and are on the 20% side of every 80/20 issue. Deflect that.

Feel free to start a thread on the subject. This one is about how a nitwit like Navarro became Dotard's top tariff adviser.

Dude has a PhD in economics from Harvard and was a Professor of Economics at US Irvine.

Who supplied the Amazon story? "sources close to the matter?" LOL

Red herring fallacy, failed attempt to deflect.

The thread is about the fact that Trump’s tariff policy is completely devoid of merit and that Trump surrounds himself with toadies as dishonest as he is.

Lightheizer was also good, not sure where he went.

Trump is all-in on "re-setting the tariff table". The UAW are ecstatic. If Trump fails 2026 will be a "bloodbath".

OK, if you want the US to not manufacture anything, fine, that is a "service economy".

Trump wants to bring back some crucial manufacturing and needs to level tariffs to do that, which reshuffles the markets.

Don't misrepresent the situation. Expecting the US to return to its prior manufacturing glory is a pipe dream.

Don't you guys like capitalism any more? Cuz capitalist principles explain why manufacturing was offshored. Now you guys want a command economy controlled by the government putting artificial conditions on capital flows?

1. Not trying to make shirts and socks, more cars, steel, aluminum, semiconductors, farm products, all types of energy...
2. We like capitalism, but with fair tariffs. True, manufacturing was off-shored due to cheap labor.
3. Democrats wanted the communist style economy via "central planning" and suffocating over-regulation.
4. Trump wants to unleash his economy with low regulations, low energy costs, and low tariff barriers to deal with.
5. Will AI and robotics change the game? We'll see. If Trump fails 2026 will be a GOP bloodbath.

Why not?

We dont expect overnight results

China has grown through manufacturing, not dog grooming services

But it took them 35 years to get there

And it will take time to bring manufacturing back

Which I suspect libs are far too shortsighted to support that
