Donald Trump faced a “pre-emptive coup” from Deep State globalists and RINO neocons designed to stop him, and the ongoing arrests and targeting of his key allies are a continuation of that, warned former White House director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro in this explosive interview with Alex Newman on The Sentinel Report.

The FBI working with social media outlets to censor the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” story as “Russian disinformation” also represents an “actual coup” by the agency, continued Navarro. If not for that, and snakes within the campaign, the 2020 election would not have been close enough for Biden to steal, said Navarro, one of only three senior White House officials who remained with President Trump from the 2016 campaign to the end of his first term in office.

Now, these same forces are working on another coup involving the January 6 Committee in Congress, the politicized FBI, the National Archives, and the Biden White House. “The whole purpose of that J6 Committee was to build a criminal case against Donald Trump to stop him from being president again in 2025,” said Navarro, noting that this was unconstitutional.

Much of the inside story is detailed in Navarro’s new book, Taking Back Trump’s America: Why We Lost the White House and How We’ll Win It Back. In it, he defines “MAGA” as drastically different from the progressive globalist neoconservatism prevalent among RINOs, and offers a blueprint for re-capturing America from those seeking to fundamentally transform it or even bring it down.

Taking back America is essential as Democrats work to kill America’s economy, destroy the legitimacy of the justice system, and even expose the United States to foreign threats including Russia and China, said Navarro. Communist China today is the biggest geopolitical threat to America, he added, saying it was worse than Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan in terms of the threat it poses to America.

Navarro, the architect of Trump’s tough-on-China policies, said the crisis in Ukraine and Communist China’s growing aggression would not be happening if Trump had remained in the White House. In fact, Navarro described U.S. policies toward China under both Republican and Democrat administrations as “unilateral surrender.” Trump tried to turn that around.

U.S. policy has been absurd. Navarro, a leading expert on Communist China and U.S. policy toward China, warned that for decades, the U.S. government has been selling Americans out. One of the key reasons is the love of money and the opportunity to get rich by helping Beijing, Navarro explained, pointing to Goldman Sachs and Big Tech as key drivers.

One of the biggest issues in the Trump administration was the presence of Deep State globalists, neoconservatives, and RINOs in the White House. Blasting the “Bush, Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell wing” of the Republican Party, Navarro said the “November 9ers” never should have been allowed in.

“As Reagan said, personnel is policy,” said Navarro, noting that at the start there were multiple people in the administration who did not share Trump’s vision. Trump thought he could bring these people in and they would help in and bring experience, but that was an “error,” said Navarro.

Key officials who resisted Trump’s agenda on Communist China, trade, and other policy areas included Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Defense Secretary James Mattis, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son in law, is slammed in Navarro’s new book.

There were three military officers who Trump trusted who were especially problematic: H.R. McMaster the “pure globalist,” Mattis who was “a Democrat for all practical purposes,” and chief of staff John Kelly. “Trump would give them orders, and they would repeatedly disobey those orders,” said Navarro, noting that they could have been court martialed if it had been a military situation.

There were two kinds of people in the Trump White House, said Navarro, citing another official: Those who thought they had to save the world from Trump, and those who thought Trump would save the world.

The sabotage from within the 2020 Trump campaign is what made the race close enough for the Democrats to be able to steal with voter fraud, he added. “Clearly, in the second term, this won’t happen again,” said Navarro.

The book, which is available on Amazon and anywhere good books are sold, offers a roadmap for taking back the House of Representatives and then the White House, he said. Trump’s second term will be far more significant than the first, added Navarro.
