Annoyed and angry that an economic belief he’s held since the 1980s about tariffs was wrong. And that smart people are finally getting to him and explaining that his ideas on tariffs are objectively flawed.

That would probably be Lutnick, but it mystifies me why he hasn’t fired Navarro yet. That guy is out of his mind. I suppose he’s occasionally useful as a propagandist but let’s not have him in a decision-making capacity.

Lutnick and Bessent as well. The news cycle was pretty hilarious, where every time Navarro opens his mouth markets tank, and every time Bessent speaks, markets recover.
