Trump economic advisers range from mainstream allies to fiercely devoted friends to MAGA stalwarts.

All share a strong loyalty to the president even when it means defending controversial policies.

Having strong, disparate voices in a room can sharpen a plan, or muddle it.

Scott Bessent , Howard Lutnick and Peter Navarro represent wide spectrum of Trump -world economic actors.

For Mr. Navarro , support for aggressive use of tariffs is more than a “willingness” it’s a passion.

He tried and failed to get Mr. Trump to impose across-the-board tariffs on imports.

Navarro is getting his wish, but being ultraloyal hasn’t guaranteed ultimate sway on policy.

The more tariffs succeed in reshoring, the fewer imports there will be to generate revenue.
