Peter Navarro is the former Assistant to the President for
Trade and Manufacturing Policy and author of Taking Back Trump’s America: Why We Lost the White House and How We’ll
Win It Back. He is sounding an alarm over Donald Trump’s scheduled speech to address the America First Policy
Institute in DC [today 7/26]. Mr. Navarro’s
article at AmericanGreatness is
titled “Trump’s Think Tank Prepares to Betray Him,” and he names names,
including Larry Kudlow and Kellyanne Conway. Mr Navarro begins:
Don’t
go, Boss! That’s my strong advice to President Trump as he prepares to
deliver a speech in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday at his alleged “think tank,”
the America First Policy Institute (AFPI).
.
. .
Arguably, the most dangerous AFPI
fifth-columnist is former Louisiana Governor Bobby
Jindal. After the Boss left office, Jindal would insist “Trump was undone
by his own predatory nature” and attacked the Boss for his “conspiracy theories
and extra-constitutional notions.” Today, Jindal is aggressively pushing a “Trumpism
without Trump” agenda.
That may well be AFPI’s broader
agenda: Hijack the political attractiveness of Trumpism but replace Trump with
an AFPI-anointed RINO. Here, it is worth remembering the Michael Dukakis bon
mot: “a fish rots from the head up.”
He concludes:
Memo to the Boss: Instead of
legitimizing these grifters, why not demand they stop using the Trump good name
to raise money to engineer their “Trumpism without Trump” coup. Alternatively,
if this really is your think tank, bring in a John McEntee or Liz
Harrington to run the place with the full power to fire and hire. Now
that would be a real Trump MAGA policy institute.
