It’s time to bring in Lou Dobbs to replace Mnuchin. He’d help Navarro shoulder the load.
So basically the 2 dumbest people in the room are leading the narrative? Putin’s destruction of the American economy is progressing very well.
They are just asking you to believe two things simultaneously:
1. Trump is a stable genius, who can outsmart any foreign or domestic adversary in negotiation. He has taken dramatic action to improve the economy, and can keep GDP growing faster than 3%.

Hence the shrinking deficit (except according to official statistics). Trump can surmount any challenge he faces, and make the economy grow, unemployment shrink and wages rise.
2. The Fed should have cut by 50 basis points in July instead of 25. Trump doesn’t have a solution for that huge problem. So the economy will go into the toilet.
