In Trump Time: A Journal of America’s Plague Year

In Trump Time, A Journal of America’s Plague Year, tells the story of a President who worked night and day for the American people, who built the strongest economy in modern history, who would deliver a life-saving suite of vaccines to the American people literally at warp speed, but who would ultimately lose the 2020 election.

Peter Navarro was one of only three senior White House officials by President Trump’s side from the 2016 campaign to the end of the president’s first term in office. Always moving In Trump Time as was his signature, Dr. Navarro was the first to sound the alarm within the West Wing about the pandemic. He played a pivotal role in the rapid development of both vaccines and therapeutics like Remdesivir. As Defense Production Act Policy Coordinator, Navarro was at the center of ramping up domestic production of critically needed Personal Protective Equipment and while helping President Trump ensure that every American who needed a ventilator had a ventilator.

A compelling, page-turner of a book that tells the story of America 2020 from inside the White House.

Of those who served in the Trump Administration who might offer an insider’s account, Peter Navarro is uniquely qualified. He is one of only three senior White House officials who stood by President Trump’s side from the 2016 campaign to the end of the president’s first term in office. At the White House, Dr. Navarro served as an Assistant to the President and the Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. He would play a key role in helping President Trump create nearly half a million manufacturing jobs while saving our shipyards and strengthening our defense industrial base. When the pandemic attacked America in 2020, Navarro would serve as the Defense Production Act Policy Coordinator. He would play a pivotal role in securing a travel plan on China in January 2020, a courageous action by the president that saved hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of lives.

Dr. Navarro holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Tufts University, a Master’s in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government, and a PhD in Economics from Harvard University. An accomplished author, Dr. Navarro has published more than a dozen books on economic and foreign policy. His China trilogy - the Coming China Wars (2006), Death by China (2011), and Crouching Tiger (2015) - established him as one of the leading scholars and experts on Communist China and its war of economic aggression against American businesses in America’s working class. Prior to joining the White House, Professor Navarro taught macroeconomics and public policy at the University of California-Irvine. A recipient of UCI’s Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching, Professor Navarro was a pioneer in online learning dating back to the 1990s, and more than a million students around the world have taken his classes.
