Noted economist Ron Vara is the economic expert behind Trump's Tariff policy..

If you had forecast all this crap about Trump in 2015 nobody would have believed it..

Ron Vara is not a real person or an economist. He is a fictional character and an alter ego created by Peter Navarro, a top trade advisor to Donald Trump.
