I’ve mostly ignored him, but earlier this week, I skimmed two past interviews with him, and based on what I saw there, that’s kind of what I’d expect from him.
Navarro’s views on trade are significantly outside the mainstream of economic thought, and are widely considered fringe by other economists.[a] A strong proponent of reducing U.S. trade deficits, Navarro is well known for his hardline views on China, describing the country as an existential threat to the United States. He has accused China of unfair trade practices and currency manipulation and called for more confrontational policies towards the country.[6] He has called for increasing the size of the American manufacturing sector, setting high tariffs, and “repatriating global supply chains”. He is also a vocal opponent of free trade agreements.
So the conductor of american trade policies is another nutjob. No wonder Musk cosplayed as Milei with a chainsaw. They like the feel of cutting trees and never considered they would fall onto them.
