Peter Navarro: The Lord Created Executive Orders So That Presidents Can Take Action When Partisans Bicker

Talking Points Memo reports:

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Sunday combatively defended President Trump over his move to sign a flurry of coronavirus relief executive orders at his golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey.

After saying that he’s “confident” that Trump’s executive actions “will stand up” in court, Navarro was pressed on why Trump stayed at his golf club all weekend as relief negotiations fell apart and generally sat on the sidelines during talks.

Navarro then threw in a baffling defense of Trump’s executive orders. “The Lord and the Founding Fathers created executive orders because of partisan bickering and divided government,” Navarro said. “That’s what we have here, but the President has taken action.”

As happens every time he’s on television, Navarro’s raging douchebaggery is trending at #1 on Twitter.
