Peter Navarro VS Elon Musk: Boys will be Boys? What?

Nobody Knows: Sorry, I had a few bad days this week, but you all know I am a big supporter of Elon Musk, so when I found out that there seemed to be a war between Peter Navarro and Elon Musk, I was going “What?” Why?
Clearly, the stock market today has risen, and President Trump is very excited about that. Nevertheless, many of the people due to the past decades of America’s clear destruction, are going to have a hard time with the prices increasing already more than they have. And nobody knows, one: if they will ever come down, and two: how long this reset of our manufacturing base is going to take.
By just supporting President Trump, Elon Musk has taken a hell of a hit: more than anyone, more than Trump.
We all know President Trump is doing what he knows…and Peter Navarro? What about him? Remember he was good friends with Steve Bannon, and Steve HATES Elon Musk.
***** From Wiki: He previously served in the first Trump administration, first as the director of the White House National Trade Council, then as the director of the new Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.
He seems to be on board with Trump, all the MAGA beliefs…and even went to jail, which mean President Trump might feel sorry for him..but he is a Harvard man. Has he ever run a business of his own? No. He once ran in California on the Democratic ticket. He is, by all accouts, a scholar. Navarro argues that the decline in US manufacturing jobs is chiefly due to “unfair trade practices and bad trade deals. And if you don’t believe that, just go to the booming factories in Germany, in Japan, in Korea, in China, in Malaysia, in Vietnam, in Indonesia, in Italy — every place that we’re running deficits with. Like Rubio…he is on all out war with China.
Come on. Is that why? The truth is our own CEOs and politicans took OUR manufacturing to China for the cheaper labor. Greed. Wall Street. Oh they claimed it was to bring democracy to China, but did they really believe that would happen? NO. It was all the money. I remember going to the library, 30 years ago, to look for a profession for my son to maybe get into. And what a shock I got. ALL the reference books that I plopped on the big tables said the same thing: “America would be a service economy.”
At the time I had no idea what that meant, but look around…China didn’t STEAL tech from our companies, they could have stayed here. They KNEW the deal that China would give cheaper labor, their stocks would go up, even though they had to give all secrets up. So yeah, the CEO”s and the politicians KNEW.
China was just smart enought to take advantage.
Now, to the average American in the democratic cities, the only places LEFT to shop are Wal Mart and the Dollar Store…ALL filled with China’s good.
The little guy is thinking “Oh sure, might work in the long run, but Trump told us little guy he was looking out for us, not Wall Street.”
On his X platform, Musk called Navarro “a moron,” and “dumber than a sack of bricks” and “Peter Retardo.” He also mocked Navarro over claims that he had created a fake expert, Ron Vara.“We want the tires made in Akron. We want the transmissions made in Indianapolis. We want the engines made in Flint and Saginaw, and we want the cars manufactured here,” Navarro said.
Musk responded, “By any definition whatsoever, Tesla is the most vertically integrated auto manufacturer in America with the highest percentage of US content. Navarro should ask the fake expert he invented, Ron Vara.”
Here’s the thing: Elon is right. Navarro…really is one too many mornings and thousand miles behind. (Bob Dylan) When a man who has never run a business in his life, wants to criticize a man who has built over 7 successful factories right here in the United States, you have to think he needs to visit some of Elon’s factories
I don’t why President Trump chooses some of these bad advisers. While they talk a good game, they need more voices like Elon to talk common sense. Trump made A LOT of mistakes in his first term, and I hope the President, in his great zeal to show the American people he can do SOMETHING…you have to wonder if he only cares about his place in history, NOT the here and now. I hope President Trump is not only concerned with HIS place in history, but the common man living NOW.
Well, I’m not sure I know enough about this, but Rubio? Navarro? If the democrats can’t get their favorite products from Wal-Mart, you ARE going to hear a scream…and the MAGA people will be going…uh…
President Trump? We know you CARE about 20 years from now..but…hey. Is there a better way?
