I'm totally on board with Navarro's role as attack dog in China Trade -- the man has literally built out his career on it. If you have not seen his 2012 documentary Death By China (narrated by former President Martin Sheen! /s).do so!

He's not so strong however for this role as critic of Fauci. That role demands more of a Ben Carson level of cred, though Carson satisfied with his position and would rather not be oppositional

We like to joust the DNC for their circus of primary candidates but the question does exist, could the United States supply a virologist advisor to Trump who is prepared to publicly deconstruct and weigh in on Fauci's waffles and sketch out possible hidden motives? In Fauci I sense in the wind an impending golden parachute whistleblower book deal

You may remember a leaked showdown between Navarro and Fauci behind closed doors, over HCQ Navarro took the initiative to gather packets of 'anecdotal' HCQ use and prior art to distribute at that meeting, which put him directly (and heatedly) at odds with Fauci.

Yet in a recent interview Nararro 'shrugged off' what clearly began as an attempt to explain the mechanism by which HCQ inhibits COVID. More advocate than expert.
