The tiny tragedy of Peter Navarro: Yeah, he had bad ideas — and then it all went wrong

Let’s provide credit when the credit is due: Elon Musk and Peter Navarro Mostly on the right – to each other, that is. Their last tour of the neighboring world Wallpaper and combat It provides an example of the textbook on what is happening when talented or smart people (suspended our lack of confirmation here) is absorbed in the whirlpool of those who demand the first page, the potential dictator and the hurry that he accomplished again, and to the confusion of the whole world, occupies the White House.

Through the appearance and horrific in the past two weeks of commercial wars, the battles of the courtroom, the kidnapping of streets, and social media parking, these two wise ended in a War of words. The official administration’s official position appears to be “let them fight”, and it is definitely the brand.

Musk, whose group’s band is known from the student who is studying a lot, is like a widespread presentation of the entire federal bureaucracy. This came after Navarro-who is the same as the unlimited “trade consultant” that he occupied in the first Trump administration, made him one of the few seizure of 2017-a mockery of musk as “assembly of cars”, which depends on the wicked foreign suppliers and was not able to understand the “liberation day” that may not have an author or may not have been unprecedented.

If all this seems too much for treatment, I hear you. If any of these men you love decides less meaningless or impossible, I feel you. I really want to make a case that Navarro is not just bad like musk, or at least is more compassionate. It is a flimsy issue, I must admit, and in a large part settling on a fact that cannot be difficult for anyone to be worse than Elon Musk. Certainly, it does not mean any support for the catastrophic Navarro policies of the trade war, although there is no news about the extent of kidnapping or kidnapping of his ideas on their way through Donald Trump brain.

The largest lesson here, which applies to each of the pro-fuel “fools” and the “automotive complex”, is one of them familiar: the people who may be at some point-if it is seen through the long virtual lens of history-has provided useful contributions of the kind they have ended themselves accurately to the temporary access to the fake authority. More than ambiguity, the person who prostrated themselves – who are now enjoying their viewing on each other like beloved and tormented animals – is the most confident political leader in the modern history of the world, and he is completely not besieged for reason and leadership only with its importance and goals.

Saying that none of this will end well is beyond the Panal. It did not start well, and none of them seemed to be a good idea at any time. If we ask why MUSK and Navarro played themselves largely-binding themselves, similar to LIMPET, for a guaranteed person to betray them and to a guaranteed institution to finish a disaster across Hindenburg-I am afraid that the moral blindness associated with the huge male ego is involved. (I know this seems to be “wake up.”

All of these three people – this means that musk, Navarro and the malicious Pupetmaster – persuaded themselves that they are right and that everyone is wrong. It is a relatively common syndrome, but Trump’s light self -confidence is different from anyone else, and this may be the reason that it increases and absorbs a lot of less vanity. Musk and Navarro, deluded as it might be, are self -clicks in specific areas of trade, economics and technology. Trump feels certain, facing all available evidence, as the final expert in everything literally: flying, microbiology, warm toilets, and of course perfection euphoria for the policy of customs tariffs. If these men have no unparalleled confidence for a couple of children between the ages of 12 years, Trump has boundless confidence from a five -year -old child.

It is worth noting that both Musk and Navarro, at least nomically, the former Democrats who have recently turned – have moved, and we may say! – In Maga Republicans. The same applies to Trump himself; Supporting abortion rights for decades and donating money to Bill and Hillary Clinton, among the other prevailing liberals. But as I suggested, under the surface details these cases are completely different, or at least I think one of them.

Trump and Misk are the virtues of self -inflation, which is fueled by the massive narcissism and the perceived self -interest. None of them was manifested by any concrete ideology when they were supposed to support candidates or liberal causes, and their right-wing invention-while it can be said that it is a more natural attack-in both cases about the personal grievance and lust of power. Their stories, or myths, are well known, very unpleasant, and at this stage they are not very concerned.

Navarro is another thing again: it’s very educated and not particularly rich. It lacks any charisma chops or a personal charm (even from the Trump Musk group that wanders the body) and does not seem interested in gaining personal strength. He is a real believer, who may be more dangerous – or at least a different way.

The only explanation of how Navarro is over, where he is today – and remember, he has actually He went to prison for TrumpSomething that musk will never do – it is a kind of karnak and perhaps it does not have friends. He did not make friendships when he was almost identified with the left -handed left, so he replaced the two sides and made the worst type of new friends, the type made by the protruding novel in the film of vampires or metrora in middle school.

I Navarro faced in 2012When he sprayed a simple spray on the circle of documentary films with “Death by China”, a provocative statement if he was above him depending on his book that bears the same title. He was an educated economic expert at Harvard University and was disturbed by faculty members at the University of California, and Wrvin, who nominated the Congress three times and lost (as a democratic) and was building a reputation as an early and expected critic of free trade with China. He narrated his movie, honesty or incredible, by Martin Shen – yes, Western President of the wing, or whatever hell that his personality was called – and in a number of disturbing methods it was before her time.

“Death by China” and its creator – which personally surprised me as unacceptable, clear and intelligent clearly – hold with me for two reasons. On the one hand, her account has been built from facts that cannot be connected and an argument that deserves to be taken seriously: a great power that has prepared most of its industrial production into a global competitor. On the other hand, Navarro’s attempt to attract the measurement between the growing economic power of 2010 from China and the industrial accumulation of Nazi Germany in the thirties of the twentieth century (!) He felt like a warm, distorted, completely distorted propaganda, fully disagreeing with his modest proposals in the field of politics, which were similar to trade negotiation agreements, which call for the modest Chinese human rights ancient.

The entire project felt as a sincere but unlimited effort to build a bridge between hysteria, such as the Cold War, LIB-Left Rights, and post-industry lamented similar to Springstin. I wrote at the time that there is no way to manufacture the United States that can be “recovered to 1975 levels with a stroke of the pen”, never imagining that the director may find himself in a position that allows him to try it. I wrote Navarro interview topics,

It comes largely from the same unusual alliance on the left right that opposed the 1990s of Neolia Globalization (perhaps the only occasion in which Bat Boanan and Jesse Jackson agreed to anything). We see workers ’leaders, democrats in the rust belt, right -wing Republicans, Chinese human rights activists and somewhat economists, all of them inherit the fact that most of the things we wear and use every day, from shoes and jeans to laptops, iPhone and TV devices in China.

One can reasonably argue, in the past, that the Democrats should have taken the arguments of Navarro more seriously, also recognizing that his message is contaminated with a lot of the strangeness of the moon. However, it took less than four years of attraction from Martin Shen to Donald Trump, indicating that the infection was advanced. He has been silent but believed since then, and the fingerprints of his fingers throughout the incompatible trade war in Trump, especially the current tariff of 145 percent on most Chinese Chinese products-although phones, computers and other electronics have been exempt, which appear to be another sanctuary of Hiltter Rillter.

It cannot be imagined from here, and I do not only mean to him: future generations, if there is any, Navarro will be the slaves of slaves who served time as if he was in the elections, and helped in a global economic recession and obtained pants by Elon Musk. I do not suggest that anyone feel sorry for him, and if his story contains my morals, we all heard it before.
