Does it strike anyone as more than a little weird that he named his son after his own pseudonym?

At first it did. Then, after a second or so, it made perfect sense that a pathological narcissist and grifter would do that.

So given how he says he made his money and his current position, is anyone digging into the investments of Navarro, “Ron Vera” and their friends and family?

I mean I haven’t been able to keep from thinking that all this market volatility was by design so someone could profit and that is before having any clue about this. The guy is telling us who he is, I have to believe him.

Hmmm, what was I saying?

Navarro has now admitted inventing Ron Vara, and – in true Trumpian fashion – says he’s glad people discovered it because it was a hilarious inside joke all along.

His co-writers have said they were not in on this “joke” and that Mr. Ron Vara’s quotes were provided to them as if he was a real person.

His publisher is not particularly amused by his hilarious joke and say they will be adding a disclaimer to all of his books, alerting readers that Ron Vara is fake.
