Peter Navarro may have reached the pinnacle of his career: coming up with the tariff scheme that was on its way to tanking the U.S. economy.

Navarro , 75 , is so convinced of the soundness of his analysis that he predicts that markets will soon soar beyond anyone’s expectations.

He does not need to persuade other economists that he is correct — only Trump , who already shares those same views.

Navarro laughed off his fabulism when he was finally confronted with the fabrication six years ago after Morris-Suzuki deduced what he had done.

Navarro ’s willingness to play loose with facts endangered American lives and then American democracy itself.

As the COVID pandemic struck in 2020 , Navarro became a proponent of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment, even getting into public arguments with actual medical experts.
