Pete Navarro might be an idiot, but what about Ron Vara, the expert that Pete Navarro cited in all his books.
- Weird how those photo ops they're going to do together keep getting cancelled.
  
  Kind of like John Barron and Donald Trump or Superman and Clark Kent.
- This is real, and just as stupid as it sounds: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/04/09/peter-navarro-pseudonym-ron-vara/
- Came down to comments expect this Navarro guy to be some genius but the fascist was 'right'?
The guy who broke Twitter by firing everyone, then scrambling to hire people back, then repeating that same pattern in government, has no business casting aspersions on other people.
- Except Elon knew tariffs were coming while supporting Trump like this. The only reason he’s complaining is because people aren’t buying his shit anymore and I’m sure he’s also trying to pretend like he totally cares.

- Peter Navarro is 420 friendly? Had no idea but tracks.
I guess a power grab doesn't work out as well as you want when you put the most selfish people around into positions of power. I know I'm being optimistic, but I hope they keep getting mad at each other.
And it's not an excuse to get complacent either. We need to keep the momentum with protesting.
It’s always projection with this guy
- Something, something, stopped clock...
take one to know one.
You know what they say about broken clocks
Paul Rand is also breaking...
Watching a CNBC interview right now where he's wearing blue everything and apparently trying to get a crazier hairstyle than trump.
They're all gonna start positioning for 2028, like, people keep saying trump will three term, but that ignores how selfish Republicans are. A shit ton of them want to take trumps place, and they can't do it while he's still in office.
I think after they get routed in midterms, we'll see them completely fracture. Everyone that was fighting to take credit will fight to assign blame.
- He’s not going to be able to run for a third term. Even if somehow no one stops him, he already looks more like Slimer from Ghostbusters than a living human and his brain clearly isn’t any different.
  
  Why would he need a working brain?
Yes. For once he’s right.

Takes one to know one.
