Looks like the sequel to Navarro’s “Death by China” is “Death by Germany” (spoiler alert, there are many more sequels to come to line Navarro’s pocket book with his creative writings). President Trump’s trade adviser suggested on Monday March 7 2017 that the US should “negotiate with Germany on a bilateral(!) basis.” Neither magic tricks nor bilateral trade negotiations will “fix” the US-German trade deficit. Surely once Trump hires a real economist, s/he can explain to Navarro what “EU” means. Forbes Magazine, even more conservative than the WSJ, calls this “stupideconomics.” (here and here).
