Chilling words from Trump Advisor

[Arkady]

Peter Navarro, a Trump economic "advisor," recently described his job this way:

My function, really, as an economist is to try to provide the underlying analytics that confirm [Trump's] intuition. And his intuition is always right in these matters.​

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...hn-trump-s-trade-warrior-is-on-the-rise-again

Regardless of what you think of Trump's policies, it should be clear how horrifying that comment is. An economic advisor's job is supposed to be to advise. Yet Navarro is clear that he views his job as building analytics to support whatever Trump happens to favor. Even worse, he has asserted that Trump's gut decisions are infallible.

That's the kind of mission statement we'd expect from the staff of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, or some other cult-of-personality autocrat. I would be horrified by such a statement even if directed at a good president whose instincts on a matter are mostly right.

So, what is the basis for Navarro's faith in Trumpal Infallibility? Is it the fact that since Trump took office the positive trends of the late Obama years have only lost a little steam? A little more than one year in, that's not much of a basis for assuming infallibility. Or is it something in Trump's long history of bankrupt businesses, two-bit swindles, and drastically-below-market returns that tells him the man is always right about such things?

“Lost steam”???
It’s impossible to take you seriously.
Even if Navarro’s comments are ridiculous.

 

[Arkady]

“Lost steam”

Yes. For example, as you presumably know, Trump's first year had the weakest job creation since 2011. "Losing steam" sounds like a good analogy for that -- we're still chugging along in the right direction, but more slowly than in recent years. To be clear, I don't blame Trump for us losing steam that way. It's quite possible we'd have lost steam even if Obama had another year as the conductor. I'm just calling attention to the incongruity between Navarro's blind faith in Trump's economic instincts and an actual track record that ranges between pathetic (his business career, with a return on capital far below par), and ho-hum the continuation of Obama-era economic trends at more or less the same pace (job creation rates a bit down, stock value growth a bit up).

No... just no.

There may be some question as to who gets the credit, but the economy has undeniably improved.

No... just no.

You weren't aware of the fact his first year had the worst job creation since 2011?

 

[Dino]

I don’t think job creation is the sole indicator of a strong economy. Especially in a nation approaching full employment. And if we had full employment we’d have rapidly growing inflation, which I believe you would then use to indicate Trump isn’t leading an improved economy.
So being that you’ll simply pick and choose an indicator to run down Trump’s economy, I’ll just stick with the experts’ alternative opinion that the economy is improving and not “losing steam”.
Nice try though.

All Trump cabinet heads and advisors operate that way.
They deny reality to "defend" rightwing positions that surprise, surprise
have the aim of moving money to the have-mores.

You are 100 percent mentally disabled and could not understand the truth if it hit you in the beak

 

[ObamacareForever]

Try calling 2017 the "Greatest Year for Job Creation Since 2016"

 

[JuliefromOhio]

100% of Trump’s casinos have been bankrupted.

100% of his universities and charities were shut down.

Over 50% of his other businesses have failed.

I guess Trumpies think that's good, man, good. LOL

Yeah, well, Trump sent his economic adviser packing.

They are chilling words and they should shake you to your core as it would of the lesser minded liberal folk. It's not that everything is going to be perfect and then when an economic crisis hits you want your community organizer to be in charge or even worse Hillary, who would blame everyone else like Obama but sound a whole lot worse doing it.

Ok lets be fair and do an honest economic assessment:

If we were to take the two candidates and say grow an economy...Would you choose Hillary or Trump?

Obviously Hillary is not the choice. She could not grow and economy, has no experience and never has been able to erase sniper fire or covering up Bill's rapes out of peoples minds. America is done with Barack and Hillary.

And lastly the economy grew in spite of Obama. Only did the economy grow under Clinton and Obama when Republicans controlled the House and Senate...(see 1993 to 95 Mid terms and 2007 to 2013.)

I'd rate this post: Not much going on but I will take what I can get to bash Trump.

 

[Drumcollie]

Yeah, well, Trump sent his economic adviser packing.

Unlike Obama who kept the same failures around.

Downright Orwellian.

How so? Did you just learn this phrase and try to use it?

Here is an example of something being Orwellian:

The people had the right to bear arms but the Government took that right away.

THANK YOU !

You could not have better illustrated what Obama inherited VS what the left behind.

OBAMA: He got the Worst and gave back the First !

That's the very definition of MAGA !
