when Donald Trump first appeared at the elections, he had no team. He had to start recruiting advisors. They say that Peter Navarro was chosen by his son -in -law Jared Kushner looking at Amazon candidates because the title of his book caught his attention death by China (death for China). Trump signed him as the main commercial advisor. Ron Vara always supported him, with blunt arguments and messages, until it was discovered that such Ron Vara (Anagram of Navarro) did not exist: he was himself. Navarro, who quoted in his books again and again to his imaginary economist as a source of authority, is one of the advisors Trump has had by his side by declaring the commercial war to the world. Each has a different sensitivity and have frequently entered into contradiction. Everyone has something in common: never criticize the president in public, although with that they are in evidence. “If you hire clown, you must wait a circus. And, American fellow citizens, we have hired a group of clown,” said columnist Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times After Trump’s turn. “This team is the best in history,” said Navarro in the Fox conservative chain. These are the president’s advisors.
Peter Navarro
It is a radical of tariffs. Defender of the absurd formula with which they have been calculated, the president’s advisor is one of those who flatly rejected the negotiations and now defends them, once Trump has changed posture. 75, he has been a democrat, republican and independent. He gave Trump’s loyalty test by preferring to go to jail for contempt to testify to the commission that investigated the assault on the Capitol of January 6, 2021. When leaving the Federal Prison of Miami last summer, he went straight to the Republican Convention of Milwaukee (Wisconsin), where he was received as a hero. Professor at the University of California, this Halcón del Comercio is obsessed with China, which perceives as an existential threat to the United States. On account of the tariffs, he has faced Elon Musk, who said of him that he was a “authentic fool”, “more silly than a sack of bricks.” And sent Ron Vara.
Scott Betting
The secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, is in Florida for the second consecutive weekend. He was seen this Friday at the Air Force One while Donald Trump boasted of how well the situation had handled. Besent has already traveled to Mar-a-Lago last weekend to try to convince the president to grant a pause to tariffs at the risks he saw in the market. He did not succeed. It had to be the collapse of the bag, the bonds and the dollar that twisted the hand to the president. Besent went out to talk to the press and said: “It has been the president’s strategy from the beginning.” Then Trump arrived and acknowledged that no, that he had changed posture because the investors had become nervous. Besent is the interlocutor of Wall Street, which receives calls from bankers and investors. He is one of his and they see him as the most sensible of the economic team. Its economic policy was known as 3-3-3: a 3%growth, three million more barrels per day and reduce the 3%public deficit. Tariffs can be charged all three objectives. 62 years old, Besent became billionaire with a high -risk background, Key Square Group, anticipating macroeconomic trends. When moving to Washington, a mansion of 12.5 million dollars in Georgetown was bought. Openly homosexual, she has married to her husband since 2011. They have two children.
Howard Lutnick
Lutnick’s life, 63, is marked by the tragedy of the New York Twin Towers attack. Cantor Fitzgerald, his investment bank, occupied some of the highest floors of one of the twin towers (the north tower). On September 11, 2001, the firm lost 658 of its 960 New York employees, including Lutnick’s brother. Lutnick aspired to be secretary of the Treasury and was Elon Musk’s favorite for the position. Trump opted for Besent, but in a Solomonic maneuver he gave Lutnick tariff responsibilities as secretary of Commerce. When Trump announced through Truth, his social network, the 90 -day partial truce in the commercial war, he had both. Lutnick has tried without much success to sell the business policy protectionist to companies. Some unfortunate television interventions have made the president lose some confidence in him. It is also a billionaire: 25 million was spent on buying a mansion in Washington, the most expensive purchase in the history of the city.
Stephen Miran
Stephen Miran, president of the Economic Advisors Council of the White House, was a strategist of the firm Hudson Bay Capital and as such wrote a User Guide for Restructuring of the World trade System that has become a must. “We can be in the prelude to a generational change in International financial and trade systems,” he said. Among his thesis is that the strength of the dollar has exacerbated the commercial deficit of the United States and degraded its industrial base and that unilateral tariffs and trade war can be a way of rebuilding the system, even forcing dozens of countries to increase the value of their currencies. In the White House, he maintains his radical speech. The dollar must continue to be the reserve currency and the United States to guarantee world security, but the other countries must pay for their leadership, either with tariffs, purchase of weapons, investments, other concessions or “simply signing checks in favor of the treasure.”
Kevin Hassett
The director of the National Economic Council, 63, was in the first mandate of Trump President of the Blanca House Economic Advisors Council. Without experience in epidemiology, he developed a cubic model that predicted a zero drop from the deaths from Covid two months after the pandemic. It was a resounding failure. He is an ultranza defender of the tax declines to which Trump’s wild tariffs have to defend, the highest tax increase ever decreed by a president of the United States.
Jamieson Greer
The high commercial representative of the United States is a lawyer who was head of the Cabinet of Robert Lighthizer, who held his own position in Trump’s first mandate. He is a technician delivered to Trumpism, who gets rid of praise with his boss at Cabinet meetings and will have an important role in the negotiations, but that neither clicks nor cuts at the time of truth, as demonstrated on Wednesday when he was left out of play with Trump’s turn while appearing in Congress.
