No wonder Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro was screaming at Dr. Fauci
On Sunday the news broke that Donald Trump’s White House adviser Peter Navarro was so desperate to get the Trump regime to promote hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus miracle drug, he started screaming at Dr. Fauci behind the scenes, after Fauci argued for caution. Now it turns out Navarro has good reason to be so frantic.
Back in January, Peter Navarro wrote a memo to the Trump regime, warning that the coronavirus could end up becoming a pandemic in the United States and wipe out the economy, according to a new Axios report. When no one listened, Navarro wrote a memo directly to Donald Trump in February, repeating the same. It’s obvious that Trump ignored his warning, doing nothing to try to prevent it, and publicly calling it a hoax.
This means that, whatever you think of Navarro, he’s spent the past two months knowing this was going to be a deadly disaster, and watching Donald Trump blow it at every turn. We still don’t know why he’s specifically pushing for hydroxychloroquine, but this certainly explains why he’s on edge and screaming at people.
