Peter Navarro, the former economic adviser to Donald Trump, raised eyebrows and questions during a recent appearance on “Court Watch,” a podcast from The Washington Times. In a conversation that veered into some serious territory, Navarro suggested that the Secret Service should all line up for lie detector tests in light of the unsettling assassination attempt on the former president. It seems Navarro isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to the seriousness of that day; he even went as far as to indicate that the worst moment of his time in prison was watching Trump’s life hang in the balance.
According to Navarro, the Secret Service had foreknowledge of the threat just before the shooting went down, which begs the question: what were they doing during those crucial minutes? This was not just idle chit-chat from Navarro; he observed the chaos unfold while incarcerated in a federal prison in Miami, serving time for standing up against a congressional subpoena related to the January 6 investigations. It’s almost poetic that he learned about this terrifying incident while getting a crash course in the government’s cozy relationship with the elite.

The incident in question took place during a rally in Pennsylvania, where a shooter popped off eight rounds before being neutralized by a Secret Service countersniper. Tragic consequences ensued, highlighting a deadly day for both the crowd and the former president, whose ear narrowly avoided permanent damage. To top it off, one innocent rally-goer lost their life, while others were injured. Navarro’s claims about the Secret Service’s apparent negligence raise eyebrows and add fuel to the fire for those who already suspect that there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the agency’s dynamics regarding Trump.
Navarro, having worked closely with Trump since his 2016 campaign days, has a unique vantage point and isn’t shy about expressing his concerns. He hinted pretty strongly that certain Secret Service agents might not have had Trump’s back during that attack. It leads one to wonder if there’s a shadowy faction inside the agency where loyalties are divided. The thought that they would allow a shooter to get off multiple rounds before taking action suggests either incompetence or a sinister agenda. After all, since when do heroes allow the villain to keep shooting?
Meanwhile, Navarro isn’t just sitting on the sidelines. Freshly out of prison, he has released a new book titled “The New MAGA Deal: The Unofficial Deplorables Guide to Donald Trump’s 2024 Policy Platform.” In this work, Navarro outlines the essential first 100 moves Trump should implement post-election, starting right at the border. His mission is crystal clear: rally support for Trump and counteract the Democratic narrative that has long characterized the MAGA movement as radical. In the end, Navigator emphasizes that losing the next election isn’t just a setback; it’s catastrophic for the conservative cause in America.
