Did Ron Vara tell him this?

But Ron Vara can vouch for him 100%

I can't see this guy without hearing that lady in the background 😭☠️ "Situational awareness!!" 🤣🤣🤣

All you need to know about supply-side economics is that it’s a scam to transfer wealth from the have-nots to the have-too-muchs.

And yet he kept us out of a recession every economist said would happen..

Isn't he the 90 deals in 90 days guy ?

👎🤬👿👿

Peter Navarro is to economic prosperity what Sirhan Sirhan was to RFK Sr.

Because it’s not understandable!

Peter Navarro talking about himself.

🤡

Why is a Navarro a thing, still?

Hubris

Again Cue Vicki Carr (because no one is calling) youtu.be/J-qgHOQ1ofg?...

Peter Navarro's R^2 with Reality is zero.

Shouldn’t not understanding Trumponomics be a positive trait?

His attempt to legitimize it with a term like Trumpnomics is beyond laughable!

BOTH ARE MORONS!!!

Seems to me it is not Powell who doesn’t understand those things. It is PN and the felon who are clueless to real life.

How can you understand something that doesn't have rhyme or reason and is based on the late night rantings of a psychopathic geriatric. We would have better luck with ...

Please, we all understand y'all are lying to us to line your pockets.

You’re sooo not being excused from this… You DO NOT speak to Mr. @georgetakei.bsky.social that way. He is one of the few people who has legitimately earned his status in this world, through more injustice and hard work than you and I combined will ever experience. Apologize & look in the mirror.

Ahem! I was speaking to Peter.

The irony of a trans person telling you to get better with your pronoun usage regarding two cis men…. Is infuriatingly delicious. You still made the mistake of talking to someone who isn’t here, with direct “you” statements and no indication of context. Is English not your first language?

I'm sorry that joke wasn't obvious enough for you and I hope yo feel better soon.

In charge of the WH cocaine budget...

Peter Navarro is so stupid that he couldn’t even get admitted to Trump University.

We call those sorts of people Utter Muppets..

🤣Trumpnomics🤣 Really🤣🙄🤣

Deadly?

Out of his depth.

He’s a Simp for Trump and he’s just repeating the lies that Trump spits out

Well, is he going to name you or Bessent Fed Chair after he fires Powell? Bet it isn’t you! You don’t have enough money to bribe him.

He doesn't understand "Trumpnomics?" *GASP* Tell him to get in line.

Jail time didn't do Grandpa any favors...

Not quite. RFK Jr is completely unqualified; Navarro has a PhD in economics, at least. His supply-side theories are rubbish (i.e., inconsistent with evidence), however.

We can be sure of only one thing: When it starts to go bad, it won’t be the Trump Administrations fault . . . 🤦‍♀️

They say if you hold Navarro’s head to your ear, you can hear the sea.

Yep!!

Ron Varro doesn't have a clue about tariffs either.

Navarro doesn’t know jack. He’s a fucking moron

Time for Pete to go back on The Beat w/ Ari Melber and talk himself into a prison sentence. #GreenbaySweep

WHAT A SICKO

You have to understand that Peter Navarro doesn't understand shit, so he can easily call out those who don't understand nothing. Peter Navarro is to economic policy as Icarus was to flight.

In December 2024, the U.S. under president Biden had the best economy IN THE WORLD. Blaming Fed Chair Powell is peak gaslighting to hide the failures of the current regime's economic policies which have destabilized the global economy even worse than their covid failures in 2020. Incompetent losers!

Peter Navarro?!? You talking about the convicted jail bird? That Peter Navarro? Like anyone should listen to economic advice from this sycophantic POS!

bsky.app/profile/drif...

This regime. “Screw the country. NEVER take responsibility.”

This from the guy who tried to overturn the 2020 election, failed to respond to a House Committee subpoena, was tried for contempt of Congress, was convicted and served time in prison.

To be fair, to understand Trumpnomics requires a dysfunctional frontal cortex and a hit of peyote that would give an Indian elephant the sweats. That's a very small and select cohort, right Peter? But please, do go on about tariffs.

Someone doesn't have a clue about tariffs but that someone isn't Powell.

So, Jerome Powell, who has worked in investment banks, for the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve, since the 1980s -- appointed repeatedly by both Republican and Democratic administrations, is to blame. Not Peter Navarro, who taught college and wrote books.

The "supply side" aspect of tax cuts? Trickle-down economics has NEVER worked, no matter what you call it.

🤬🤬🤬

...is what pete hegseth is to defence policy...

Anyone watch videos from when he was running for office in the 90s as a progressive democrat? It’s fascinating how people have molded themselves into the thing they claim to loathe in order to participate in the grift.

www.c-span.org/clip/public-... Peter Navarro remarks at 1996 DNC Convention | Video | C-SPAN.org

Someone should interview the illustrious super mega ulta competent and above all REALLY EXISTING Ron Vara

No question about that

Oh pullllleeaasssse 🙄

He doesn’t understand that making up a fake economist to spout fake economic tariff theory is a thing. He should read my books. 🙄

An ignorant charlatan.

… all the while looking like he is going to cry. Somebody should save him from himself

Trumponomics. Help us.

Also - even if you're dumb enough to believe in supply side nonsense after all these years - you wouldn't get a bump from.....keeping the same rates. The actual tax *cuts* are pretty small....most of the new debt is from cancelling rate increases.

💯👆And that makes me want to wretch….

Trumpnomics = bankruptcy and disaster.... like all his other businesses. These guys are continually trying to make him sound smart.. when he clearly isn't.

Hey now to be fair no one “understands “ his economic policies because they are insane 🤷🏻‍♀️

He has a higher unployment rate at any time over Biden or Obama (covid not included)and it's been 7 months, you can't bullshit your way out of that, specially all those illegal layoffs he had musk put through

trumps own plans have been met with nothing but heavy warnings and retaliatory tariffs including a ban on products being sold on shelves in foreign markets, based solely on his plans and 3am truth social ramblings, the man is a detriment to the economy, the country and to politics. Utter stain.

Navarro, and Kevin Hassett. With those two, I think we pretty much have evil covered economically.

We didn’t want Reaganomics, and now they’re naming this shit?

Clinging to supply side economics and trickle down even though it has been discredited over and over again.

Oh good! We have a name now for deliberately tanking the economy either through choice or ineptitude-trumpnomics

“He doesn’t understand the supply side aspects of tax cuts” because we have 40+ years of experience in seeing that not work the way Navarro stupidly belies they do.

Trumpnomics? Trump has had 5 bankruptcies, that includes a fucking casino! (A casino!) Six businesses that went belly up, but sure, trust him he's a smart business man. If it wasn't for the millions of $'s his father left him he would be living under a bridge.

Very true. Whiny loser jail bird

New political party: Crackpots United! JFC…what a bunch of 🐴💩!

Is Navarro even an Economist?

This man should still be rotting in prison.

Great insult!

but their lies are so bad. it's preschool level lying.

And the brain worm is smarter than both of them combined... 😏

You had me at "he doesn't understand."

Trumpnomics works as well as trickle down. He says Powell doesn't have a clue. Look in the mirror, you dumb ass

Isn't that guy a felon too? Just asking.

What’s going to happen when Powell’s term is up? Navarro or someone like him is going to be put in. What kind of new economic disaster is looming?

You're exactly on point!

he is the current Chicago School of Economics....you know the same school responsible for crashing Latin America countries economies...

Decades ago, I took A course in Economics. One thing I learned is I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO RUN THE TREASURY. I know enough to trust Powell & to know that he should know more than me to keep us on an even keel. If he does what Drumpf demands, we won’t have enough $$ to live on.

agree

The study of Trump gnomes? Sounds legit.

Peter Navarro speaking about himself, I think.

I like the idea of traditional bad conservative economic policies being rebranded as Trumpnomics.

What/who is he calling the supply side of tax cuts? What a degenerate!

So many incompetents

Mr. Powell is the only thing stopping hyperinflation right now.

waiting for Ron Vara to weigh in- guy really knows his shit.

Is Navarro talking about Trump? Because this describes him perfectly.

Um think that’s trumps cabinet motto, as none of them understand how a tariff works. We tried to tell yo before the election but ya’ll googled it after you elected him! This is why all people need to vote not just the rubes that are motivated by hate!

To be fair, I can kinda side with Powell on this (I SO did not just say that!), NOBODY can understand Trumpnomics, you pretty much have to be as batshit as they are to even try.

Is he referring to the 'supply side' economics which has been proven to be bullshit?

I agree 💯

trumpenomics? 🤣 It's like economics but has no basis in reality, history, or data. Just rich people bankrupting businesses and impoverished people. then going to play golf.

Nobody understands Trumpnomics, but please you try and explain it Navarro. Good luck, we'll wait.

🤬

Yes let’s all listen to the founder of black water. What a POS!

This man is possibly the dumbest member of the Tmurp administration. And that's quite a feat.

Wait a minute!! Hegseth says hold my beer (literally). Noem would like to nominate herself as the dumbest! Homan is in that race! Let’s not forget RFK! He’s dumber than rocks! Lugnut and Vance are in the running too! We have possibly THE dumbest assortment of idiots ever assembled!!

Well stated.

Trumpnomics went bankrupt 6x and couldn't make a profit with a casino.

I think I would trust Fed Chair Powell over the entire Trump administration.

Ah yes, the man who cited "Ron Varo" as an expert in his book on economics, and if anyone's good at word games, yes, that is his surname he cited as his expert advisor, himself, he made everything up that drumpf is now doing...

Trumpnomics-6 bankruptcy’s.

He learned a lot in prison . The place is filled with crooked accountants and swindlers.

Jerome Powell is the only reason my $ is still in the bank.

Isn't Trumpenomics just Reaganomics only dumber?

Yes.

And I’ll tell you something else. He not dumb enough to go to prison for the TIC. But I am

Peter Navarro is to economic policy as Dave Navarro is to Carmen Electra.

"We've been ruining the economy for over 40 years with the idiotic idea of supply-side, trickle-down economics, and by god we'll do it even harder until it finally works!"

That comparison is spot on

NEVER FORGET THAT this half-wit jackwad is a convicted criminal.

🎯

Guy looks worse than a used car salesman

Yeah, but we have seen the bang up job Trump does with money.

He's the economic measles that Powell wants to vaccinate...

That man is off his rocker!

Navarro is a traitor and should be in jail

Garbage????

“Trumponomics”… taught exclusively at Trump University. 😜

Jeezus.. can they get any more stupid? I'll go with "Clownonomics."

Hmm...Fed Chair, Jerome Powell doesn't understand or Peter Navarro doesn't understand? Since I have zero faith in Navarro, I'm going with Powell, who has a lot of experience in finance.

Ironically, both admitted drug addicts

The genius who went to jail for being a dumbass speaks.

Yeah trumponomics: everything for me. Nothing for thee.

They flog that trope decade after decade after decade. It may be the most astonishing example of wishful thinking in the history of the world.

lol Navarro

This greasy snake oil salesman is flushing our great economy down the toilet, and like Trump, blames everyone for their own incompetence.

He’s not an Economist !

Peter Navarro is to Peter Navarro what Peter Navarro is to Peter Navarro. It’s all about him and having to be right.

How’s deregulation working for Boeing?

Anyone waiting for the economy to swan dive off the Brooklyn Bridge??? I'll bring the popcorn!

And maybe Powell just knows a shedload more than this nutjob.

We understand it. It’s the same reward-the-rich BS every Republican president has thrown out since Reagan.

Maybe he doesn't understand it because it makes no sense and Drumpty is an idiot that does not have a clue what he is doing?

😡 The stupidity of these people, all the Cabinet in particularly, is astounding.

No words.

And they are too Stupid to realize that 'supply side' 'economics' is the Definition of a Soviet Style Communist Economy.

Much like trump you mean?

I bet Powell doesn't understand the "Green Bay sweep" either.

How this guy got a PhD in economics is unfathomable. At least with Trump we can be sure he paid people to take his exams to achieve an Ivy League degree. If this guy had talent in economics, he must have suffered a traumatic brain injury soon after getting his degree.

like what RAID is to bugs

But peter has Ron Vara to advise him. So there's that.

You've heard of the fox watching the hen house. The Trump administration is book burners running the library. #maga

This just in… for the first time, Ron Vara disagrees with Peter Navarro!!!

Navarro wants to put Ron Vara is Powell’s position.

San Diego was SO glad to get rid of hom!

*him*

Pete wrote a book and Jared liked it. What more credentials does he need.

Well, he got that sweet endorsement for his book from Ron Vara going for him as well.

That’s right, and you never see Ron and Pete together.

And miller to empathy

Trumpnomics is pure fantasy

Trumponomics = serial bankruptcies

Nobody understand Trumpnomics, because it's not a thing. It's a game of Calvinball played with a live economy and lives of a whole nation.

This is the stupidest person and the stupidest way to destroy this country.

🙄

Your daily reminder Peter Navarro confessed to a plot to overthrow the government on live television and Merrick Garland responded to that by swiftly … checks notes … doing nothing.

Also he made up a fictional economist to agree with everything he says and he called him "Ron Vara", because the right-wing act exactly the way that conspiracy theorists seem to think the "Deep State" would act.

This. Navarro is a traitor and should have - immediately - been arrested and held as such. Same for the orange self professed and ajudicated rapist and convicted thief he serves.

Having lived through Reagan, I think anyone paying the least attention understands Supply-side economics and it ain’t good unless you’re rich.

Hey, I read this one! Echoes of Reaganomics. It's awful, do not recommend.

Powell understands economics, which is why he doesn't understand Trumponomics, because they make no sense.

They both have brain worms as far as anyone can tell.

Groceries are noticeably more expensive. Instead of intermittent fasting people are doing inadvertent fasting.

Is Navarro talking about Powell, or trump? Because I'm pretty sure trump doesn't understand tariffs at all.

Yeah, that is so sad, isn't it.....

Navarro is dumb as a box of hammers and hair. But he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. He's never right about that. Even when he and Trump are the only two people in a room.

They all have brain worm.

nobody understands Trumpinomics. not even trump

They’re both what trump is to ‘presidenting’.

If anyone doesn’t understand how any of this works it’s you Clowns! 😡

Trumpnomics ran 6 casinos into chapter 11 while losing over $1b. He understands.

Say it with me: SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS IS A FRAUD AND HAS NEVER, EVER WORKED EVEN REMOTELY AS CLAIMED. This is what happens when Economists believe their own assumptions without a basis in reality, and stupid people who have zero understanding of actual Economics are in charge of policy.

The Trump administration is essentially a private equity takeover of America. They will steal from it, load it with debt then let it go bankrupt.

lying for the cult leader

I can almost guarantee Jerome Powell knows far more about so-called Trumponomics (or, as most of us call it, *more for me, less for you-onomics*) than either idiot Trump or idiot Navarro 😏

So right, George!

Trumpnomics? You mean crash and burn??? Nobody with a brain understands that!

You know who else doesn't understand any of that? HINT: He's Orange.

Navarro is a failure he had to create a fictitious research report to prove his off the rails ideas. He is a fail Uni prof and mayoral candidate he is a loser and only a sucker and loser like trump would listen to him

Nice of him to put a name to "self-imposed recession and economic shrinkage", Trompnomics.

Both unqualified

Peter Navarro, the convicted felon and ex con. Why would anyone believe anything this cretin says, especially after his weird formula for determining tariffs. Strange, there seem to be many in trump's world who have criminal histories or other social issues like sexual assault or substance abuse.

And maga are to America what Hitler was to Germany.

💯. It’s so obvious but nobody wants to admit that Americans were duped by a snake oil salesman. Which is doubly tough because they should have learned after Trump 1.0.

Half of America didn't need to learn as they knew, the other half are incapable of learning.

Says the man who made up an expert source for his bonkers tariff beliefs.

What the fuck is "Trumpnomics"?

Another idiot conducting experiments on an unsuspecting public.

What,exactly, are Navarro’s qualifications to set economic policy?

Powell understands actual economics.
