Former President Donald Trump lashed out against the recent conviction of his White House aide Peter Navarro, saying that only China is “celebrating” the decision.

“I can’t believe that these Fascist Monsters have so viciously gone after the great Peter Navarro for defying the totally partisan January 6th Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs, who refused to go after Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and the reasons she and the Mayor of D.C. REJECTED 10,000 soldiers, which would have easily stopped any future security problem,” President Trump said in a Sept. 8 post at Truth Social.
