Raskin: The basis for this most destructive trade war in the history of the world is the profound economic research and policy writings of one Ron Vera, a completely fictional economist conjured up by Peter Navarro, a real person who Elon Musk just called a moron
Ron Vara and Adrian Dittman should have a cage match.
Don't leave out David Dennison
Who is Ron Vera's spokesman? John Barron?
😂🤣 likely, omg these ppl
Pierre Delecto
Guy Incognito
I hear Mary Rosh is coming out of retirement.
So long as we don’t have a Carlos Danger revival.
Zing! Good one. 👍
Ron Mexico
All roads lead to Russia
Well, it’s really because he’s nuts.
I thought Ron Vera worked with John Barron.
Is this real? Is like Voldemort/I am Tom Riddle? Navarro/Ron Vara? Cause that’s the lamest thing I ever heard.
We all know Trump is a Putinist.
Wake up Congress! Only you have the power to stop this tariff nonsense! MAKE IT STOP!
One month? Two?
Brutal. Raskin is having a moment.
Pete thought his imaginary friend Ron would take heat 😂
The pot calling the kettle sooty...
Section 4 -25th Amend:allows VP & either the Cabinet, or a body approved “by law” formed by Congress, to jointly agree that “POTUS unable to discharge the powers/duties of his office.” designed to deal w/ a situation where an incapacitated POTUS unable tell Congress that VP needs to act as POTUS.
This is beyond bizarre.
Peter Vararro AKA Ron Vera AKA Peter Vavarro must be introtrouced at every single event, talking head show & stage for the blantant & disturbed fraud that he is & made up to pull the wool over the publics eye with his giant snake oil salesman con show. Nail him down every time he opens his mouth.
I hate it when I agree with MUSK, but Navarro truly is a moron! Navarro is the guy that got on national TV and describe the details of the GOP COUP plot but then asserted: it was not a COUP plot. Too late! He described the crime on recorded video! Trump hires "the best people"? #USDEMOCRACY
So the goon called the goblin a ghost when they're all spooks????!!!

This is an example of Raskin's effective elocution with a powerful sentence that takes the scenic route and the express route at the same time. Genius.
Thank you, Jaime! Call them out on all their bs
I guess you *can* make this shit up
Ron Vara = Navarro NavarRO = Ron Vara
They are all morons
Wait, Navarro is making up people now???
Ron Mo.
This is the most disgusting criminal regime in the history of our country!! They must be called out for the frauds and criminals that they are and then prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then thrown in prison for crimes against the American people!!! They’re all guilty!!
Ron Vera is the economic expert that Peter Navarro uses to offer support for his crazy economic theories. Ron Vera is not real. Peter made him up. Repeat Peter made up someone to support his theories because they are crazy and now he is on TV nightly lecturing the public about how great it all is
Only the best people, amirite?
and I still feel bad about guessing the page for a citation I used in a footnote in my thesis 20 years ago.
😂😁 Great story for the grandkids though...got another degree from it...😄
I'd have a big fucking bowl of popcorn right now but that shit is expensive thanks to Trumplethinskin
There’s a lot of morons in this administration.
According to the administration's tarriff calculation, Russia should be hit with a 41% tariff.
He considered Eterpay Avarronay but was worried it sounded too “immigrant.”
OMG! I love Raskin!!🤣
Bond investors for sure. This is criminal for sure
Please do not quote Elon Musk even when his opinion aligns with your messaging. Under no circumstance should he be considered a credible source or expert for anything ever again.
Musk is correct for a change. Navarro is a moron. The same moron who, leading up to January 6, discussed his Green Bay Sweep idea. The Green Bay Sweep was the attempted coup against our democracy.
now that it all makes sense.
A bunch of immature Nazi idiots
I love when JR feeds them their own shit sandwich.
He is such a great speaker.
Burn
Better watch out Senator, they're deporting now Americans too! . .
You were always deporting americans
@maddow.msnbc.com telling the story m.youtube.com/watch?v=MJbZ...
Americans have enough surplus income to afford buying lots of things from other (often smaller or less wealthy) countries. Reaching a perfect trade balance would be most easily accomplished by eliminating US income surplus and/or reducing our population by cutting life saving services. 🤔 Hmm
Yeah we know he plans to genocide us in venezula Other nations have stopped trading w us. I cannot beleivd humans have sunk so low. You are casually talking about genociding your neighbors, stealing their life savings, to build genocide camps.
His plans will let us die in the USA, too. Gutting health agencies, fouling up emergency services, coming after Medicaid, putting quacks and hacks in cabinet positions - all deadly. Isolating us from allies while also f’ing up intel and firing generals invites invasion. Does Russia want Alaska to 🧵
add to it’s Arctic dominance? We won’t know until they’re occupying. Manipulating the stock market, blatant insider trading, meme coins, creating a Crypto reserve, ending the Fed, predatory tax policies, cutting Soc Sec & SSI, killing consumer watchdogs, and raising bank fees all impoverish the 99%
I’m evaluating an illogical goal of balancing goods trade* w/ each individual country, connecting that w/ damaging domestic policies, and realizing that the latter serves the former. It’s not a casual; it’s a serious concern. *Balancing all goods and services exports with all imports is healthy.
This is it 420 is martial law Either make plans to foght and maybe die Or flee
One moron calling the other guy a moron! Musk is a government moron and Navarro is an economic moron!
put a bunch of rats in a bucket and see what happens... basically that's the US government in 2025
Let's not insult rats! Snakes is more apt.
More of this please.
I'm trying to think of how Fox will spin this one? Any ideas?
But what is anybody DOING about it?
They’re bellowing these glib speeches at deaf ears.
Don’t make me agree with Elon
Ron Vara - John Barton Like goes to like.
newrepublic.com/post/193733/...
I heard that Ron Vera is a good friend of John Miller.
So it’s official Elon has turned on his bff
LOL, “the home office.” Unfortunately, this error of saying “Vera” is going around. (Rachel Maddow made the same slip last week.) It’s “Vara,” not “Vera.” There’s no letter E in “Navarro,” so none in the anagram “Ron Vara.”
📌
But Ron Vera is cited in several books on economics (written by — re-arranges letters — the estimable "Navarro")
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. lesson #ProtectTheConstitution USA🇺🇸 in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
Thank you @raskin.house.gov
Billions lost. IMPEACH M*Fucker!
We need to just start calling him Ron Vera.
Or fuckface, which feels better to me. Or wrinkly, crack face.
One thing I'm not seeing mentioned... the entire starting premise of this entire debacle is wrong. Every time we're told "the world is ripping us off," the exact opposite is actually true. The US has benefitted asymmetrically (read: "unfairly") from every single agreement we've made with the world.
When does Navarro call Vera a moron?
*Vara
Can we go back to the premise of the EO? There was none. Debating a lie gives it power. Debating truth gives strength.
bsky.app/profile/tbog...
😂
Well a moron callinganothera moron - how ironic.
I don't want Musk quoted as a credible source, ever, but this is still true regardless.
They are the current version of this. Clever, evil, and playing us all for fools. And like ignorant fools, we eat such bullschitt until we have a terminal condition that will require drastic measures. Chump is right, but wrong in the worst way.
How can they get any more idiotic. Wait five minutes. They are our current generation of this
I needed a good laugh. Thanks, Raskin.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can we impeach Peter Navarro and his imaginary friend Ron Vara?
Question: Where is all the money appropriated to the departments, now that everyone is fired- where did it go?!🤔
To Musk
Republicans Hate Americans
One could say to Elon that, it takes one to know one?
Quite a sentence!
Trump and his pals are so goddamned dumb they have to create fake alter egos to spread the stupid out to additional outlets.
Fictional people are really good at economics
I know this is a godawful timeline, but my party always has such a good sense of humor I have to relish it when I can.
I mean, not relevant but it’s definitely Ron Vara right? Or did he manage to fuck up his own name’s anagram?
TRUTH
And an anagram of “Navarro” = Ron Vara
And he thought he was being so clever. 😂😂😂
Disagreeing Like Five Year Olds Trump’s tariff czar is mad at Elon, Who said Navarro is “Truly a moron.” Trumpy name-calling to settle conflicts? It’s all “Dumber than a sack of bricks.”
LOL. This is so absurd!! I wonder how Navarro came up with the name. 🙄
Exactly
Republicans in Congress are Complicit!!
first i thought i we were in a philip k dick timeline, then a margaret atwood one, then an octavia butler one, but no, it was kurt vonnegut all along!
I have to agree with Elon Musk on this one. I saw several Ari Melber live interviews with Navarro a while back. I think Navarro relies on fictional experts because he comes off as an idiot. He incriminated himself on the air and eventually landed in jail. Thanks for reporting this, Acyn.
Peter Navarro is Ron Vera. Kushner found Navarro’s book on Amazon. Trump wanted to implement tariffs during his first term. youtu.be/MJbZCbBLqkk?...
where is the meteor to just end this whole human experiment?
I'd welcome it at this point.
They are all F morons !
I consulted my international political adviser Pra Choly and he agreed completely with Navarro's economics expert that there was no harm in inventing experts out of whole cloth. Now, partial cloth is a different matter, especially if that cloth was sewn in China.
Cook.
"Ron Vara" is an anagram for "Navarro"
OMG, you're right!!!
Just passing on what others noticed.
"it's going to be the biggest and most beautiful depression of all times. I'm going to give it a beautiful name: the Trump MAGA Depression"
This is the only thing I agree with Musk is his opinion of Peter Navarro, 100% !
Imagine the time it took to construct a fictional character with a fake email and fake white papers because his own ideas sucked so bad. What we have here folks is federal workers fraud.
How dumb do they think we are???
Jamie Raskin: a truly great American, a patriot.
Everyone in trump’s administration are incompetent!
Theater doesn't do sht. They need to get Republicans crossing the aisle now. The rats must smell the death of their party as everyone knows this disaster is owned by the Republicans and their leader Donald J Trump.
The Musk quote will carry weight with people who think Musk himself is a genius. He’s not, of course, but morons themselves are not denied the vote, so… complicated strategies ensue.
Let the self destruction begin
They know what they're doing. bsky.app/profile/smok...
You can't make this shit up
Raskin is so good at this! 💪🏻
John Barron, Ron Vera and Adrian Dittman walk into a bar. The bartender goes about his business because those three people don’t exist and are made up needy narcissistic man-children.
On. Musk, navarro and barron Like this is one big secret?
hahahahahahaha
Cripes!
Hey! Ron Vara is real. Just ask John Barron or David Dennison.
Ron Vera is constructed from Navarro.
lol he couldn’t come up with a better name than rejiggering the sounds of his own last name? I mean I dunno, how about Scott Vera for example? Just a tiny bit of creativity.
How about Von Rerrerra? Pretty tricky huh?
🤣
He was smug enough to believe he could get away with it. He did for a while.
It's true. apple.news/AkeW-Zbq-QLa...
It's Ron Vara an anagram of Navarro
Navarro conjured up an economist - Ron Vara - to justify his dumb ideas, hilariously using an anagram of his own name. He copied Trump, who for years had the fictional person “John Barron” call reporters to say how rich Trump was. Both Navarro & Trump are heros in their own Walter Mitty minds.
😂
This whole thing would be hilarious if it was a Mel Brooks movie...but it's not!
When you put it like that..
Ron Vera is almost an anagram of Navarro
Even better, it's Ron Vara, so it actually is!
Perfect! What an idiot. Not you, Navarro!
The name Ron Vara just rearranges the letters in Navarro… 🙄 so bad
📌
*Vara. Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro.
Sounds like Raskin was
Sounds about right for the republicans. Unfortunately for us.
Ron Vera= Navarro
This is lunacy.
Maddow pointed out that Ron Vera does not exist and is essentially Navarro spelled backward. The joke is on all of us isn’t it?
Can you eat "Owning the libs" ??? bsky.app/profile/ched...
Ron Vara is an anagram for Navarro. Please lock him up again.
Oh boy...
Love Jamie Raskin!
This reeks of Iraq wmds
Also a convicted felon.
But everyone knows Ron Vera. He was the lead latex salesman at Vandelay Industries for a number of years earlier in his career. That's why he knows so much about tariffs.
Didn’t he also dabble in imports and exports?
I don't know. These big companies, it's all a tax write-off.
Facts. You just…write it off.
What even is a write off? [Sorry, I might be out of sequence with this one.]
Crazy insane asylum people making up policies
His alter ego🤣
What you bet his password is some variation of ronvera.
Find out, wouldja?
🤦♀️
Even better - it's Ron Vara. It's a fucking anagram of his last name. www.cnn.com/2019/10/16/p...
How did this not come to light until now????? Media?????
This was surfaced years ago. Navarro was just another economic crank in the wilderness back then, unfortunately
Now I’m trying to decide if Musk thinking he’s a moron is a point for, or against, Navarro
I’d agree with Muskyrat on the “ dumb as a sack of bricks” but the bricks would be upset by the comparison.
This is how you address the House chamber.
Ha. Elon calling someone a moron…..
They all use pseudonyms? Does John Barron know Mr. Vera?
We’re dead
#Meritocracy
Excellent. Ron Vara is in the congressional record.
Waiting for the orange wonder to claim "We have lots of real experts, the best people, who advised on our beautiful Tariff plan along side Ron Vera. People like Leon Skum, Dr Paul Mondt and J D Van...i mean C J Daven"
Yes! I wrote EVERYONE I could think of about this Ron Vara lie! Lying Peter Navarro’s imaginary friend who is advising King Dump about tariffs! Good I’m glad it’s getting coverage. It’s all over social media & YT!!!!
youtu.be/sfh2oKlbd24?...
So ... another John Barron 🙄 #Liars
ron vara (not vera) is an anagram of navarro.
Still dumb as a sack of 🧱. Or ⚒️.
Coincidences happen.
This is your moment
Naw we’re fine. This is not fifth Reich backstabbing at ALL
In-effing-believable.
Elon's right. NO! I DID NOT JUST FUCKING SAY THAT!
We're all thinking the same thing!
Lol
This us ALL FOR PUTIN! Believe it.
And for themselves. They intentionally crashed the markets . They told people to invest in crypto. In crypto, it's impossible to tell who is investing . This gave criminals the opportunity to invest in crypto. When crypto peaked, the criminals pulled out the funds and reinvested it into stocks
It's called layering. Now, their funds look legitimate. Meanwhile the the owner of the crypto(Chump and a billionaire Chinese) make millions off the front end and backend trade fees. Insider trading, pyramid schemes, and crypto/crypto memes have no value in the real world.
*Ron Vara bsky.app/profile/loca...
THE ONLY PERSON MORE IGNORANT THAN NAVARRO IS TRUMP HIMSELF WHO SWALLOWED THE BULLSHIT THAT NAVARRO WAS SPEWING LOCK STOCK AND BARREL. NAVARRO WAS THE MOTIVATION FOR TRUMP EMBRACING TARIFFS BACK IN HIS FIRST TERM. NOW TRUMP IS OBSESSED WITH TARIFFS. WE ARE TRULY A NATION RUN BY COMPLETE IMBECILES.
A lot to unpack here.
