Last summer, the coach’s economy was released at Harvard Peter Navarro from a federal prison in Miami in a timely manner to travel to Milwaukee and a fiery speech at the Republican National Congress.

“The January 6 Committee asked Donald John Trump to save my own skin,” was lifting high, referring to the order of the congress he ignored, which led to a four -month prison sentence for contempt of Congress.

“I refused!” The crowd.

The moment of the star rock in Navaru explained how the former economist, who returned to the White House as a great advisor to President Trump commerce And manufacturing policy, it became the Maga kings.

One of the pressure groups in Washington said: “There is a clear allowance for loyalty in this administration.” “There is no doubt, at all, Navarro’s loyalty to Trump – and for this reason it will always have a great impact.”

Often consultant in the first Trump administration, Navarro It was organized in the commercial hot seat, as it organized an early range of customs duties and investigations that carry the distinctive marks of his own enthusiasm.

This includes the protection of the United States Steel and aluminum industry Against supported Chinese minerals, put the customs tariff on all Chinese imports, and the use of “mutual” definitions in an attempt to reduce the country’s trade deficit and increase manufacturing.

While in recent management, Navarro often stumbles by thinking about the free market Trump Advisors such as Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin or Director of the National Economic Council Gary Cohen, facing much lower opposition in Trump 2.0.

People familiar with the internal business of the administration say Howard LootnickTrump candidate for the Secretary of Commerce, and Jameson JarirThe president choosing a representative of trade.

Lootnick, a billionaire financier in Wall Street, has become an unexpected defender of the customs tariff, while Jarir, a commercial lawyer, has long been in support of definitions and other protective commercial measures.

People describe Trump as trusting in Navarro, indicating that he is “Peter”, and allows him to have a wide weapon of commercial policy.

Often it is described as a “commercial falcon”, Navarro has long been famous for its protective requirement and hostility of China. In his book 2011 China’s deathHe said that Beijing violated the global trade rules using illegal export subsidies and processing its currency.

During the first time of Trump in the Oval Office, Navarro carried an internal campaign to impose a high tariff on Chinese imports, and in 2018 I pushed He has to prevent visas for Chinese students – and there is a step that the president refused to do.

“He is a man who mainly sees an existential threat to the United States economically and military from China from China,” said one of the people who noticed him decades ago. “He is a man who focuses on it.”

But free Navarro has a good reputation sometimes of imagination. In 2019, it appeared that he included a fictional version of himself – Ron summer – In many of his books on commercial and economic policy.

Vara fictional in his book 2006 The next China wars Say: “You should be a nut to eat Chinese.” in China’s death, “Only the Chinese can convert a leather sofa into an acid bath, a children’s family in a fatal weapon, and a mobile phone battery to fragments flipping the heart,” Vara said.

Hunter Morgan, who was a special consultant for Trump during the first administration and worked in Navarro for three years during that time, described his motives as a “love place for men and women forgotten in this country.”

“He realizes that strong commercial and industrial policy is the way to local domination,” said Morgan, who is now a partner in the Popying Ballard Partners.

Like Trump, Navarro was not always a loyal soldier of the Republican Party. He made many failed attempts to acquire a political position in California, including nomination as an independent candidate for the mayor of San Diego in 1992 and a boost to win the Congress 49 in California as a democratic in 1996.

During an attempt for the 1996 position, Navarro gave an exciting speech at the Hillary Clinton’s Democratic Conference in the Hillary Clinton support conference, in which he pledged to support medical care and social security, the rights to abort for women and strong environmental rules for clean water protection and clean air.

About 20 years later, Navarro fell into the orbit of the Trump campaign, at a time when the prevailing political critics are still skeptical of his ability to win the White House.

“Many people have found an opportunity to work in a political infrastructure that people have never believed that it would really turn into a real presidential campaign,” said one of those familiar with those early days.

The person said: “Trump’s message was at that time consistent with Navarro’s belief that the Politician in Washington, DC, was leading you to your delusion.” “It was less ideological and more cultural, and it makes sense that it came at that time.”

Others describe Trump as a “ship” that Navarro is the architect of his deep economic beliefs.

Trump[has]. . . Looking at Navarro, some ability to deal with this thing that was several decades of life stimulating. “
