It's a stopped-clock moment. Navarro is a gibbering sphincter.
There's a fun, and bizarre-but-substantively true story about how he got where he is...

I understand he got his credibility by quoting that internationally famous economics expert, Mr "Ron Vara". Trump was impressed that he knew so much.
More background at the link below...
Trump adviser Peter Navarro and 'economics expert Ron Vara' are same person, NYT reported in 2019
"Ron Vara" happens to be an anagram of "Navarro."

When these knuckleheads have finished destroying the world economy, the penguins can take over and the aliens can return.
EDIT: Trump's approval rating is dropping like a paralyzed falcon...
How popular is Donald Trump?

This has all the energy of the school bully telling himself that nobody came to his birthday party because they all knew they weren't cool enough to hang out with him.
Trump brags countries are ‘calling us up, kissing my ass’ over tariffs
I’m telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” Trump told the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner.nypost.com

LOL, this quote elsewhere on the forum is already aging well with China deciding to increase their own tariffs on us instead of "kissing ass".
I read another comment elsewhere calling it the equivalent of the kid in high school that brags about how much sex he has, but the girl goes to another school.

Trump to impose 104% tariffs on China tonight.
Of course, this comes after confirmation that the EU offered the Trump administration a "Zero for Zero" tariff deal two weeks ago, but Trump turned it down - on the basis of correcting a trade imbalance that Trump personally believes is unfair; and yet, his corrective measures are likely (if not certain) to do far more damage than any imbalances that Trump feels the need to correct.
This exposes the most dangerous part of Trump's character - HE is bullish on anything that he didn't suggest. It's his idea or it's no good. You meet his terms after he's made his demands, not before, or it's no good. If you agree to his terms, he'll demand more.
Trump could well have wanted an equal zero for zero deal, but if the EU suggested it, it doesn't look good for Trump. He can't take it back to his supporters and boast about what he did.
I have no doubt that he's going to push too hard and screw numerous trade deals that could have been beneficial to the US, just because of his ego, because he didn't get to make the terms.

That's exactly what the EU suggested and he still said no. He wants $350 billion he thinks we're "owed".

Something fishy going on here...
edit: Something on the order of $210b was just put into the stock market all at once. Either government intervention or very well coordinated hedge/fund bank activity.
edit2: I guess this is a reaction to the pause...

Exactly my thoughts.
It would be very interesting to see who sold a tonne of stocks last week, and then bought them back this morning.
I bet Trump and his family, cronies etc. did.

This reminds me of Trump's first term when he was threatening to remove the Section 230 protections for social media companies. The 'medicine' doesn't actually accomplish what Trump wants, even if implemented or especially if implemented, but it's the threat of destruction that coerces the subject into doing what Trump wants.

When we had a Trumpist in power for a month and a half lettuce not forget that she crashed the UK economy. Too bad this didn't deter Americans from swallowing the Kool-Aid. Perhaps basing one's voting preferences on faith-based decisions isn't the safest way to go.

I was noticing this as well with the S&P500. It started close to 5000 and fluctuated all morning around that, but suddenly went almost 10% up.
Seems a hell of a lot for just (yet) another tariff pause announcement.

Apparently Marjorie Taylor Greene has been doing some buying and selling at just the right time.
First she sells stock and goes into bonds.
Marjorie Taylor Greene makes stock market play days before tariffs
US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene made hefty trades days before Donald Trump's tariffs announcement tanked the stock market.
Then she buys stock just before this rise.
I wonder if she 's selling again while stocks are up right now.
They are 100% manipulating the markets for personal gain.

Only Donald Trump has the genius and business acumen to fully understand the game 4D chess being played here. You just need to trust him and keep your money in the stock market.
