История про то, как Кушнер нашел Наварро, хорошо известна.
At one point during the campaign, when Trump wanted to speak more substantively about China, he gave Kushner a summary of his views and then asked him to do some research. Kushner simply went on Amazon, where he was struck by the title of one book, Death by China, co-authored by Peter Navarro. He cold-called Navarro, a well-known trade-deficit hawk, who agreed to join the team as an economic adviser. (When he joined, Navarro was in fact the campaign’s only economic adviser.) https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/04/jared-kushner-steve-bannon-white-house-civil-war
Было также давно известно, что примерно 100% экономистов считают Наварро придурком.

And when there's one man against an entire profession there's at least the suggestion that it might be the single person wrong, no?"
