In 1992, Ron Vara rode out Hurricane Andrew in his houseboat, “the Patriot,” frantically pumping water out of the craft as coconuts rammed into its side. Luckily, he’d guessed a few weeks earlier that hurricane season would ruin the insurance industry. He made a stock market bet and cashed in big.
Hubbard is a shill and Navarro is a crank: They both fit into the Republican grift universe with nary a scratch or dent.
He was an economics joke before he glommed on to Trump, and he is still a joke.
You don’t say? A six year old could figure that one out in about 20 seconds. It’s not exactly the enigma code.
I guess in my next job application form, I will be putting in glowing remarks about my qualifications from a brilliant Wall Street, CEO, PhD genius named “Blandsten.”
There’s a reason for that: Vara doesn’t exist.
John Barron: “Yes, he does!”

Ohh, your ¨alter ego" rips off Bob Dylan . Edgy!
I had the misfortune of knowing Peter a quarter century ago when he was pretending to be an environmentalist to get himself elected mayor of San Diego. He failed because he couldn’t hide his vile personality in a televised debate.
I know Peter to be a liar, backstabber, and duplicitous con artist. In other words, a perfect match for Donald Trump.
“The Collected Wisdom Of Peter Navarro’s Fake Stock Market Guru…”
So you’re telling me that (checks notes) a fake guru is behind the fake trade policy of a fake businessman anointed fake president by a fake party of fake patriots and fake Christians in a fake election that turned on a fake email scandal using a fake investigation to hide fake donations to the GOP from fake Ukrainian companies?
Surely, this is fake news.
Those quotes…ugggg…clownish doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Who the fuck published this guy’s masturbation fantasies anyway? The publisher needs to be taken to task.
And “an overt raper” is an anagram of “Peter Navarro.”
Don’t you mean Stan Blend? Or is it Dan Blents?
Ned Blanst.
No, it’s all true! And one of Trump’s top economic advisers was hired based on Amazon reviews of his book by his failed real estate broker son-in-law turned Middle East savior.

Only the best fake, believe me.
Love most all your cynical comments. Please keep it up!
Oh, if you like cynicism, you’re in the right place. 
ETA: keep your eye on @irasdad. He’s our resident Larry David. He may actually be Larry David. We don’t know.
With John Barron and Ron Vara running the country, pretty soon America is going to need a pseudonym too. Is “Canada” taken?
How about Fraud Guarantee?
Nah. That’s already been copyrighted by the Trump Organization.
Sadly, yes. So how about Detinu Setats of Acirema?
…and maybe, Trump won’t be able to locate us on a map!
