He received his undergraduate degree from of the University of Iowa, where he worked all four years for the independent student newspaper, The Daily Iowan. The following are excerpts from his 06 October 2018 news report headlined "Navarro: ‘Special place in hell’ for Trudeau".
(Begin excerpts)
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro lit into Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday, saying there's a "special place in hell" for a world leader who double crosses President Donald Trump.
"There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," Navarro told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." "And that's what bad-faith Justin Trudeau did with that stunt press conference."
When asked whether the president shares his views, Navarro said the sentiment came “right from Air Force One.“ At the time of the interview, the president had just landed in Singapore for his upcoming summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"To my friends in Canada, that was one of the worst political miscalculations of the Canadian leader in modern Canadian history," Navarro added. "All Justin Trudeau had to do was take the win."
The president slammed Trudeau via Twitter on Saturday, calling out his counterpart for acting "meek and mild." Trump and the White House are upset that Trudeau told reporters that Canada would stand firm when it came to new U.S. tariffs and “not be pushed around.".... (End excerpts)

2. With regard to Navarro's threat of "a special place in hell" for Trudeau, I am inspired to coin the term "Navarro" with the following meanings:
(a) The name (as a proper noun ) for the deepest part or level of Hell.
(b) The dead end of a period such as life, career, dynasty, reign, etc.
The following sentences show how to use the new term:
(a) In an eulogy for his political foe, he sarcastically praised the deceased for having the guts to race ahead of him to Navarro.
(b) The politician threatened to send the opposition to Navarro.
(c) Following the death of his wife, life has become meaningless and he feels as though he has fallen into Navarro.
(d) The president yelled at the reporter who pestered him with annoying questions: "Fake news! Get lost in Navarro!"
(e) As he was the favourite eunuch of the emperor, he was the second most powerful person in the empire. However, after the death of the emperor, he knew he was at the navarro of his political career. Hence he requested the new emperor to let him retire to his home village.
(f) As his illness became more serious, he knew he was approaching the navarro of his life.
(g) As the sale of his latest music album is not up to expectation, he knows that he has reached the navarro of his singing career.
(h) As the rebels broke into the palace, the emperor committed suicide, knowing that his dynasty had reached its navarro.

Navarrophobia
by reedak » Sun Dec 16, 2018 4:57 pm
1. The following are excerpts from an article headlined "Chronophobia".
(Begin excerpts)
Chronophobia is a specific psychological phobia which manifests itself as a persistent, abnormal and unwarranted fear of time or of the passing of time....
Sufferers may be aware of a vague feeling that events are moving too fast and running away with themselves, and that it is difficult to make sense of the way events are unfolding. Chronophobia is often marked by a sense of derealization in which time seems to speed up or slow down, and some people may develop circular thought patterns, racing thoughts and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Chronophobia is most often experienced by two main groups: the elderly, and by those incarcerated in prison (where it also known as prison neurosis). The elderly tend to have a lot of idle time on their hands, and often time drags very slowly for them. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is common for old people, particularly those facing terminal illnesses, to be hyper-aware of their imminent death (death anxiety), and this constant threat of death can cause an overwhelming sensation of chronophobia. As people get older, their metabolism and brain functions slow down, making them even more susceptible to chronophobia. Prison inmates also tend to have extensive periods of unstructured time, which may lead them to excessive contemplation of the passing of time, the length of time of their sentence, the number of days remaining until their release, etc. They also typically experience high levels of anxiety and stress due to their circumstances, which puts them especially at risk.... (End excerpts)

2. Next I am going to discuss an entirely new phobia which is opposite to chronophobia but more devastating and terrifying to the sufferer.
It can be defined as the persistent, abnormal and unwarranted fear of no future or the irrational feeling that time has come to a standstill for the sufferer but moving, even faster, for all other people around him. Everything to the sufferer seems to come to a navarro (a term coined by me to mean "dead end" in an earlier thread). He feels as though he has fallen into Navarro (a term coined by me to mean the deepest part of Hell in an earlier thread).
You can imagine the phobia of the sufferer, if you had a nightmare in which you were rendered motionless while seeing all other people surging ahead till they were out of sight leaving you alone in the world. Similarly, it is a terrible feeling for a country to have such a feeling of stagnation or growing impotence while the rest of the world are progressing or surging ahead in development.
In such a phobia, the sufferer tends to be unduly alarmed and overexcited when he sees others planning for the future because he simply sees no future for himself. For instance, when a champion athlete reaches his peak performance, he may have such a phobia. When he finds his rival training very hard day and night, he will make all sorts of weird claims, saying all other athletes "aren’t going to have a future".
Taking another example, a boxing champion who has reached his physiological limit may develop such a phobia as though time has stood still. No matter how hard he trains, he feels that he can never return to his former self or "make himself great again". Hence when he discovers his rival drawing up plans to train for the next boxing match, he will hurl all sorts of wild accusations, saying all other boxers "aren’t going to have a future".
As a follow-up to the term “navarro” which I coined in an earlier thread, I call the new phobia about “no future” or “stagnation” or “standstill in time” by the name of navarrophobia”.

Navarron

1. Stephen Lendman was born in 1934 in Boston, MA. In 1956, he received a BA from Harvard University. Two years of US Army service followed, then an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1960. After working seven years as a marketing research analyst, he joined the Lendman Group family business in 1967. The following are excerpts from his April 4, 2018 article headlined "US/China Trade War Escalates".
(Begin Excerpts)
...In late March, Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro said “China, in my view, brazenly has released this China 2025 plan that basically told the rest of the world, ‘We’re going to dominate every single emerging industry of the future, and therefore your economies aren’t going to have a future” – a disgraceful perversion of truth.
America wants its longstanding position as the world’s dominant political, economic, financial and military power maintained unchallenged.
As development of China, Russia and other nations advance considerably, America’s dominant position slips.
Russian super-weapons are more advanced than Washington’s. China is heading toward becoming the world’s leading economy.
Reality doesn’t go down well in America, slipping as other nations advance.
Trade wars assure losers, not winners. Trump’s strategy is wrongheaded. Economic damage done to both countries will be clearer in the months ahead. (End excerpts)

2. With regard to Peter Navarro's "disgraceful perversion of truth", I coin the term "navarron" for a thug or bully who cowardly avoids any challenge to his dominant position but disgracefully intimidates the challenger instead.
(a) For instance, do you think global education is going to have a future if there is a navarron in every class threatening his classmates not to excel but fail all examinations so that he can maintain his first position in class?
(b) Taking another example, do you think global commerce is going to have a future if there is a navarron in every office threatening his colleagues not to work hard so that he can be seen by his employer as the most hardworking employee?
(c) Taking this final example, do you think all restaurants in the world are going to have a future if there is a navarron in every restaurant's kitchen threatening his colleagues not to cook properly so that he can be seen by all customers as the best chef of the restaurant?

1. The following are excerpts from a news report by Mikio Sugeno, Nikkei Washington bureau chief, posted on December 22, 2018 under the headline "China is trying to steal our future: Navarro" and the subheading "Hard-line White House adviser says trade agreement in 90 days will be difficult".
(Begin excerpts)
WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Donald Trump's trade adviser told Nikkei that it would be "difficult" for the U.S. and China to arrive at an agreement after the 90-day period of talks unless Beijing was prepared for a full overhaul of its trade and industrial practices.
In an extensive interview at the White House on Thursday, Peter Navarro, an assistant to the president as director of trade and industrial policy, said there are "no half-measures," and that China has to address all of America's concerns for the two sides to come to terms. Those include forced technology transfers, cyber intrusions into business networks, state-directed investments, tariffs and nontariff barriers.
"China is basically trying to steal the future of Japan, the U.S. and Europe, by going after our technology," the adviser said.
On Beijing's "Made in China 2025" initiative, a blueprint for pivoting the country into a leading position in areas such as artificial intelligence and fifth-generation wireless communication, Navarro called it a "label for a Chinese strategy to achieve dominance in the industries of the future."...
Pointing to a panel listing 53 examples of China's economic aggression, including items such as "consolidating of state-owned enterprises into national champions," "debt-trap financing to developing countries," and "dumping below cost into foreign markets," Navarro said, "Virtually everything on here is against the rules of the World Trade Organization," and that China would have to address all of the issues "if we are going to have a negotiation that results in success."
The hawkish adviser...said that intellectual property theft was part of China's culture as a communist state. "It goes back to the communist system, where there are no property rights. If there are no property rights, you can't steal property, right?" he said.
Navarro said that smartphones manufactured by China's Huawei Technologies pose a clear risk in that "those phones can be used to spy on our citizens or our government." He said that the constant software updates were the main source of concern.... (End excerpts)

2. According to https://www.reference.com/science/plane ... 5c6659b13e
(Begin excerpts)
There are two opposing forces that determine the orbit of a planet: planetary inertia and the gravitational pull of the Sun. In order to create a stable orbit, these forces must remain perfectly balanced. The Sun is the most massive object in the solar system, and it has the strongest gravitational pull. Without the Sun's gravity, the forward momentum of the planets would carry them into deep space, just as their sideways momentum keeps the planets from falling inward and being consumed by the Sun. (End excerpts)
3(a) As explained in the above passage, "Without the Sun's gravity, the forward momentum of the planets would carry them into deep space". Hence if the two opposing forces are out of equilibrium one day, the earth will go off course into deep space. From then onwards, earthlings will wake up without seeing sunrise as the whole world will be in eternal darkness. If Navarro is still around on that doomsday, he will definitely accuse China of stealing the future of the US and other countries.
With regard to Navarro's phobia about no future, I call that day "without tomorrow or future" by the name of "navarmorrow".
3(b) If Archimedes could be resurrected, he might find a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it to move the world away from the sun.
3(c) That doomsday scenario is also possible if a gigantic hand of a Super Being suddenly stretches out from nowhere to strike planet Earth off course into deep space. No country is capable of making such a gigantic hand. Hence if anyone still raves day and night about his country's future being stolen by others, that fellow must be talking with his head in the cloud and his mouth at his very bottom.

A little but significant drama
by reedak » Wed Dec 26, 2018 1:19 am
The South China Morning Post reported on 21 November, 2018 that Peter Navarro would be excluded from the high-stakes US-Sino dinner meeting in Argentina. About one week later, however, it reported that he was back on the guest list.
The following “intelligent guesses” of mine may offer some insights into the events leading up to the Huawei CFO's arrest and Navarro's attendance in the Buenos Aires dinner meeting.
(a) Navarro’s initial exclusion from the guest list may be just a display of his tantrum and displeasure to Trump over their disagreement on the US-Sino dinner meeting.
(b) Just like an active volcano's occasional eruptions, it may be his way of highlighting his importance in the Trump team.
(c) Although many people may dismiss the event as a little drama with no significance, it can turn up to be something more sinister in view of the perfect coincidence between the Huawei CFO's arrest and the dinner meeting on the same day of December 1.
Peter Navarro's initial exclusion but eventual inclusion in the Buenos Aires dinner meeting will forever remain a historical mystery. Anyone may guess or speculate whatever he likes about the "apparent farce" over Navarro's dinner attendance. In the final analysis, only Navarro and Trump hold the key to the historical mystery.
In my opinion, Navarro might have decided not to attend the dinner meeting as a protest to Trump’s disagreement to arrest the Huawei CFO as both events happened to fall on the same day. As the day of the dinner meeting drew nearer, he might have even threatened to resign. As Trump regarded him as his favourite, he finally acceded to his demand to arrest the Huawei CFO on the same day of the dinner meeting. Knowing that his plan would be carried out, Navarro not only had the mood but the appetite to attend the dinner meeting. All this while, he must be laughing secretly at the opposite side and eyeing them hungrily like a bird of prey with his "eagle's eyes” across the table.

Trumpian joke
by reedak » Thu Dec 27, 2018 12:09 pm
While it was reported that a US government delegation will travel to Beijing in the week of January 7 to hold trade talks with Chinese officials, there was another report that Donald Trump is considering an executive order in the new year to declare a national emergency that would bar US companies from using telecommunications equipment made by China's Huawei and ZTE.
I coin the term "Trumpian joke" for such contradictory actions which are akin to an offer of handshake with one hand but a thrust at the heart with a dagger in the other hand. Another example is offering someone a seat but removing it stealthily when he is at the point of sitting down.
If you are a political leader, you must be on the alert if Donald Trump suddenly calls you for a peace or trade dialogue as it would give rise to apprehensions that something evil or mischievous is afoot.

Disastrous 2019 predicted for Donald Trump
by reedak » Fri Dec 28, 2018 9:01 pm
1. The following are excerpts from a 27 December 2018 AP news report headlined "Iraqi lawmakers demand U.S. withdrawal after Trump visit".
(Begin excerpts)
BAGHDAD — Iraqi lawmakers Thursday demanded U.S. forces leave the country in the wake of a surprise visit by President Donald Trump that politicians denounced as arrogant and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
Politicians from both blocs of Iraq’s divided Parliament called for a vote to expel U.S. troops and promised to schedule an extraordinary session to debate the matter.
“Parliament must clearly and urgently express its view about the ongoing American violations of Iraqi sovereignty,” said Salam al-Shimiri, a lawmaker loyal to the populist cleric Moqtada al-Sadr....
Containing foreign influence has become a hot-button issue in a year that saw al-Sadr supporters win the largest share of votes in May elections. Al-Sadr has called for curbing U.S. and Iranian involvement in Iraqi affairs....
Qais Khazali, the head of the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia that fought key battles against IS in north Iraq, promised on Twitter that Parliament would vote to expel U.S. forces from Iraq, or the militia and others would force them out by “other means.”....
Trump spent three hours at a U.S. air base meeting with American troops during his visit....
He left without meeting any Iraqi officials, though he spoke to Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi by phone....
Al-Shimiri said Trump’s visit “violated several diplomatic norms.” (End excerpts)
Source: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/ ... mp-1076363
2. Donald Trump tweeted on 28 December 2018:
".....close the Southern Border. Bring our car industry back into the United States where it belongs. Go back to pre-NAFTA, before so many of our companies and jobs were so foolishly sent to Mexico. Either we build (finish) the Wall or we close the Border......"

3. In view of his violation of diplomatic norms in Iraq and several other countries, plus his obsession in building a "big, beautiful wall" all the way across the US-Mexico border, Donald Trump’s erratic behaviours could be early signs of brain trauma as predicted by Baba Vanga, the "Nostradamus of the Balkans".
4. Below is a brief summary of the famous blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga's life:
Baba Vanga, (31 January 1911 – 11 August 1996), born Vangeliya Pandeva Dimitrova, known after her marriage as Vangelia Gushterova, was a blind Bulgarian mystic, clairvoyant and herbalist, who spent most of her life in the Rupite area in the Kozhuh mountains in Bulgaria. Known as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans", she had already developed a noted reputation in her home country of Bulgaria by the time of her death in 1996 aged 85.
She mysteriously lost her eyesight at the age of 12 during a massive storm. Her family allegedly found her several days later on death's door – with her eyes sealed shut and covered with dirt. She later claimed to have experienced her first vision when she was missing and believed she had been given the power to predict the future and heal others.
She reportedly made hundreds of predictions in her 50-year career, many of which were never written down. She shot to prominence worldwide after accurately predicting the sinking of the Kursk in 2000.
In 1979, Vanga - who reportedly had an 85 per cent success rate with her predictions - told writer Valentin Sidorov that Russia would become "lord of the world" after Europe became a "wasteland". "All will thaw, as if ice, only one remains untouched – Vladimir's glory, glory of Russia," she reportedly said.
Among her many worldwide gloomy predictions for 2019, she predicted that Donald Trump will succumb to an unexplained illness that will cause him nausea, tinnitus, brain trauma and hearing loss, and a member of his family will be involved in a car crash.

(Begin excerpts)
BAGHDAD — Iraqi lawmakers Thursday demanded U.S. forces leave the country in the wake of a surprise visit by President Donald Trump that politicians denounced as arrogant and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
Politicians from both blocs of Iraq’s divided Parliament called for a vote to expel U.S. troops and promised to schedule an extraordinary session to debate the matter.
“Parliament must clearly and urgently express its view about the ongoing American violations of Iraqi sovereignty,” said Salam al-Shimiri, a lawmaker loyal to the populist cleric Moqtada al-Sadr....
Containing foreign influence has become a hot-button issue in a year that saw al-Sadr supporters win the largest share of votes in May elections. Al-Sadr has called for curbing U.S. and Iranian involvement in Iraqi affairs....
Qais Khazali, the head of the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia that fought key battles against IS in north Iraq, promised on Twitter that Parliament would vote to expel U.S. forces from Iraq, or the militia and others would force them out by “other means.”....
Trump spent three hours at a U.S. air base meeting with American troops during his visit....
He left without meeting any Iraqi officials, though he spoke to Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi by phone....
Al-Shimiri said Trump’s visit “violated several diplomatic norms.” (End excerpts)

".....close the Southern Border. Bring our car industry back into the United States where it belongs. Go back to pre-NAFTA, before so many of our companies and jobs were so foolishly sent to Mexico. Either we build (finish) the Wall or we close the Border......"

2. Why wasting an astronomical sum (between $12 billion and $15 billion) to repeat something that had been done in China more than 2,300 years ago? It seems that the only Chinese thing that can fascinate Donald Trump is the Great Wall of China.
In view of his obsession in building a "big, beautiful wall" all the way across the US-Mexico border, I humorously coin the term "trumpwall" to mean the following.
(i) To "make tremendous progress in doing something, especially high technology (as though breaking a wall or barrier to, into, towards, up, etc)".
(ii) To "advance (as though breaking a wall or barrier to, into, towards, etc) another stage or position".
The following are examples of the use of the new term:
(a) If India succeeds in its first manned space mission “Gaganyaan” to send 3 astronauts to the space, it will trumpwall into an exclusive club of countries (Russia, the US and China) capable of independent human space travel.
(b) China trumpwalled up another rank in its space programme after its Chang'e-4 space probe made the first-ever soft landing on the dark side of the moon.
(c) In the late 1970s, Pham Van Dong, who served as Prime Minister of North Vietnam from 1955 to 1976 and, following unification, as Prime Minister of Vietnam from 1976 until he retired in 1987, told a visitor that "waging a war is simple, but running a country is very difficult". It remains to be seen whether Vietnam can trumpwall into the league of developed nations in the future.
(d) If you think backward countries are content to dig coal or build border walls, then you're mistaken. On the contrary, they aspire to trumpwall into the fourth industrial revolution.
(e) An American missionary was killed by a flurry of arrows from an isolated endangered tribe on a remote island in the Indian Ocean shortly after he was illegally ferried there by fishermen. North Sentinel Island, off-bounds to visitors, is home to the Sentinelese tribe who violently reject all visitors from the outside world. Survival International, an advocacy group for remote communities, urges people to leave the Sentinelese alone: “If not, the entire tribe could be wiped out by diseases to which they have no immunity”. Estimates say the Sentinelese, who are totally cut off from civilisation, number only between 50 and 150.
When can the Sentinelese trumpwall towards modernity?
(f) That old man always throws tantrums as though he has never trumpwalled from adolescence to manhood.
P.S. Donald Trump demands $5.7 billion taxpayer money to build his proposed "solid concrete wall". However, that amount is only sufficient for building separate stretches of fence or barrier dotted along the US-Mexico border. There will be more government shutdowns when Trump demands for more funds to join up all the fences if he could be reelected on November 3, 2020.

1. The following are excerpts from an AFP news report dated 3 January 2019 under the headline "Trump mocks Indian PM Narendra Modi over funding for a library in Afghanistan".
(Begin excerpts)
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (Jan 2) mocked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for funding a library in Afghanistan, suggesting it was of no use....
While stating that he got along with Modi, Trump said the Indian leader was "constantly telling me he built a library in Afghanistan."
"You know what that is? That's like five hours of what we spend," Trump said.
"And we're supposed to say, 'Oh, thank you for the library.' I don't know who's using it in Afghanistan," Trump said..... (End excerpts)

2. With reference to Donald Trump mocking Narendra Modi for funding a library in Afghanistan, suggesting it was of no use, I coin the term "moditrumpry" to mean "deride or criticise someone or something (as, for, etc) by a hypocrite. The following are examples of the use of the new term:
(a) Although Trump has slapped steep tariffs on billions of dollars' worth of goods from major trading partners, he moditrumpried India as a "tariff king".
(b) Although his wall has been derided as just one big joke or a political circus, Trump moditrumpried Modi's library funding in Afghanistan as a useless project.
(c) Tom is moditrumpried for smoking by his nicotine-addicted parents every day.
(d) Despite having bankrupting four companies prior to his presidency, the new president moditrumpried his predecessor for failing to improve the economy.
(e) Although he was notorious for playing truant during his school days, Robert moditrumpries his own children for their mediocre performance in school and demands them to write pages of composition as punishment.
