President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Peter Navarro will serve as "Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing" in his next White House term.
Navarro, 75, will be tasked with helping to "successfully advance and communicate the Trump Manufacturing, Tariff, and Trade Agendas," Trump wrote in a pair of Truth Socialposts revealing the pick.
Navarro was previously a top trade aide for Trump during his first term.
The selection came less than five months after Navarro's release from prison.
He served a roughly four-month sentence in a federal facility in Miami for defying a congressional subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. He was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress.
Hours after his release on July 17, Navarro spoke at the Republican National Convention.
Trump in Wednesday's posts said, Navarro "was treated horribly by the Deep State, or whatever else you would like to call it."
Trump also lauded Navarro as a "tenacious" advocate for "my two sacred rules, Buy American, Hire American."
Navarro has been a staunch defender of Trump's protectionist views, echoing his support for tariffs and wariness of trade deals backed by so-called globalists.
After Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, Navarro spread debunked claims that widespread voter fraud resulted in the race being stolen from Trump.

Trump appoints another ex-con for a job in his administration. This one is also an election denying coup plotter.
Trump is most comfortable being surrounded by people who are just like him.
I have to wonder if a screenwriter composing a story about a rogue PotUS would find the actual actions of Trump too outrageous for their audience to suspend disbelief. Reality exceeds fiction.
There are screenwriters with pretty vivid imaginations.
The closest thing that comes to mind is probably "Night of the Living Dead".
poli-sci-fi ...
“There are screenwriters…”
Sorkin and Tarantino are working as we speak…
popped in my head s well, cause pulp fiction becomes reality with this pos
Good team. Blockbuster
Trump only allows people who prostrate themselves to him publicly to be around him.
a new administration of criminals and traitors, aka, "only the best people" ...
only the best and the brightest
Navarro has a couple screws loose. Front rank of "stop the steal" election deniers.
who else would Trtumpster select, someone normal, withouty a pardon or a felony on his record, surely you jest, asz Trump picks only the best, from that swamp he drained to find the best, the best of the worst, as with Trump were blessed with cursed, and his supporters won't find anything wrong, cause they approve of his every criminal move, as long as he shows that liberal left, felonious criminals are who Trump feels are the best to leave in charge, cause he has another mandate at large, don't tell Musk, cause it's Moscow or bust, cause lil' kim is Putin it in the back, doors open wide, asz Trump trips over US to please, as he is a disease, that is allowed spread by the Republican party, that i sure hope is proud, of the dark and dangerous cloud, that is about to reign, and if you are concerned, youre a worry wart, on witch they won't face, till thoroughly disgraced is we, but, but, you're all over reacting, ya see. N yes,many of us did, but who were we to actually point out and sea how deep Trumps ccharacter did delve into the abyss, cause this seems deeper than a Russian pro might go, but, hey, you never know
asz he always seems to outdo himself, and as we watch the bottom never show, lets just sit back and see just how far the Repubs who now have not a choice, lets just sit back and rejoice, might as well, N joy the shit show, and laugh at those who brought this upon, cause it's the best of Don and they now fully own, one who should be in prison, but their decision shall shine, cause they tell us coarse is fine, pigz arten't swine, and Trump to they, is just Divine, twisted like their truth, not a piece of shit, just a blessed Baby Ruth...
Then why is all his shit made in China?
Profit motive. Produce the cheapest crap possible and then rip off his cultists for as much as he can.
Since when did his "two sacred rules" apply to him?
I forgot. Please forgive me
Trump extending his record of appointing crooks to the administration.
It's a proud legacy, isn't it?
This is Trump talent.
Trump keeps his streak alive by appointing another crook.
