Peter Navarro: "It's the perfect Trump economy in 2026 ... we're seeing stock market over $50,000"

So this piece of shit is trying to make Pammy's faux pas, a thing. The thralls out there will accept it as gospel.

The DOW is not "the stock market" and it's not dollars. Navarro proving how stupid he is.

They know it means nothing. It’s all BS to keep MAGAs living in delusion while their everyday necessities keep rising in the price.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a weighted index number, not a dollar amount.

The index is not expressed in "dollars".

Dumb assholes.

1) This "let them eat cake" BS is not working. Even my 94 YO super conservative MIL is noticing that grocery prices are sky high and her insurance options all are more expensive.
2) The stock market hit record levels for most Presidents. Nothing special about that.

The markets are measured as an aggregated index.
It doesn't directly represent the dollar.
But, lately I'm seeing the $ applied.
Who started that nonsense?

angrily spitting out the "50,000...dollars".

It made me cringe.

The same thing when she was in a cabinet meeting and she blurted out some hyperbolic shit...something like "trump saved 900 million lives by stopping the flow of fentanyl into to the country".

And now Navarro is running with the "dollars" term too.

It's stupid because those numbers don't need dollar signs.
She's an apex moron.
