Peter Navarro, the next Trump chief economic adviser? |
Mike Allen reports that Peter Navarro is on the short-list.
The protectionist Navarro, who doesn't seem capable of grasping even basic economic concepts, would be fueling Trump's naive economic thinking if he were picked. Economic policy would be pushed into a very dark place.
Not perfect, but much better than Navarro, the free market, pro-free trade Keynesian, Larry Kudlow is also on the list.

UPDATE
Peter Navarro, director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, said he's not a contender to replace Gary Cohn as national economic council director. "I'm not on that list, let me be clear," he said on Bloomberg Television. Navarro said he has a "very full plate" as in addition to trade, he's also working on issues involving the defense industrial base.
