While Brad Parscale was the chief of the floundering Trump campaign on paper, Navarro dubs Kushner as the "de facto" campaign manager responsible for much of the campaign's chaos. "There young kids over there making six figures, and then, when the pandemic hit, they didn't even come to work." And when push came to shove in the final six weeks of the campaign, we ran out of money," Navarro said. And in 2020, we had plenty of money, but Kushner burned it like a monkey with a flamethrower. "In 2016, we were significantly outspent, but the money was used wisely. There was one man in particular whose involvement particularly peeved Navarro: Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

The president himself, I think, did a wonderful job leading this country. " effectively one of the worst presidential campaigns in modern history with stark contrast to his 2016 campaign.
