Peter Navarro is the idiot whose mostly pushing the Trump economic policies. I say idiot, because he is really a complete and total crackpot. He's written a couple of papers where he cites himself on uncited principles as if they were ironclad economics. A flat earther to an astronomer is what Navarro is to an economist.

He is anti-trade and pro-isolation. He actually wants the US dollar to lose it's status as a world currency. His thought? If it does, then we'll better address national debt. Basically "Let's light the house on fire so we finally address the upstairs draft."
