During an appearance on Real America's Voice, former Trump staffer Peter Navarro advised the 45th President to change course in his campaign.
Navarro, an economist by trade, became a major supporter of Donald Trump during his initial run for President and was rewarded with a position in Trump's cabinet as the Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.
Navarro was an important figure in the big lie, promoting Trump's claims that he won the 2020 election. And after refusing multiple subpoenas from Congress, he was sentenced to 4 months in prison, only recently getting out.
The economics expert said on the War Room podcast, "But you wonder what's going on now in Trump land, because obviously we need to go in a different direction. It's yet to be seen what that direction is."
Navarro continued:
"But clearly, the last three weeks have been difficult, and the next week is likely to be difficult as the Democrats have their convention, because you always get a bump at conventions. So that's kind of the bad news in the subtext for where we are right now."
The pundit closed, "And there was a decision made to debate Biden prior to him being crowned the nominee. And I'm sure there were good and bad pro and con reasons for that, but you can at least say in hindsight that that was a catastrophic error."
