Excellent work Ms. Navarro on Van Jones’ show.”Messy” . When R. Santorum asked twice : what has Donald Trump ever said himself that makes these folks uneasy ? , why did Van Jones or you not reference Trump’s specific statements during the campaign about requiring all Muslim Americans to be registered on a special register (for no reason other than their religion) ?
You and Van should be more aware of the quality of your communications. Things in the world are more complex. We need leaders (v few) in the proper role to “deal and speak hard and strong” to those who do “chop off heads” (e.g., ISIL, sex traffic criminals, rapists, etc.). But talking heads like yourself and Van Jones (who make 100,000’s dollars a year) don’t have the right to cascade fear.
Trump needs to do less of this. Still be strong— So, chill…. And let him to do his thing!
On the other hand, you need to choose to communicate with more grace. When you tune into more grace, diplomacy and positive vibe….you will in tune with a happier, feeling about your emotional body and self love. BC when you communicate like you are doing….then you will bloat with fear and extra weight (you are v prone to this). Its one of your top karma lessons in this life time.
Van on the other hand – has more denial in him. In a prior life, he victimized many people… Not clear if he will ever learn…. As he has gotten worse in recent years. God thought by him have mixed children he would have more compassion it does not.
You are not – you have a lot of love and grace to offer. Especially young people. All the best
Ana you are wonderful. Please keep it up. Don’t you think that once Trump got in and put a Bannon in there that the Republican big boys went to him and made him understand that he is powerless without cognress and that they are running the show now and not him. There is no way he called in Romney. The Republicans could not get him in the White House so they will take next best thing. Do not know why a decent person like Romney would agree to work with Trump unless he was assured that Trump is not running the show. They have sent him back on the road where the circus barker belongs throwing red meat to the base. Why suddenly is he throwing his buddies out the door unless he is being told to do so. He is nothing without those congressmen. He has to dance to their music. Do not brag too much about that cabinet,not stacking up to help we the little people. Get CNN back on BanNon. Do not let the press give Trump a pass. Do not change one thing about who you are. You are a strong,beautiful,smart women. The thing that scares Trump the most.
Hello Ms Navarro, great job!, keep @ it. I just found out that 3 psychiatrist (professors)
have requested that Pres. Obama request a full examination of pres, elect with mental
evaluation. I have been thinking that that guy is mental, & or, was on cocaine during
the last “show” with Hillary Clinton, could have been a sane person pretending to
be our PRESIDENT behave as he did, gross!.It’s long in coming but luckily not too late.
All the best.MB
