White House trade advisor Peter Navarro said Monday that an offer by Vietnam to eliminate tariffs on U.S. imports would not be enough for the administration to lift its new levies announced last week.

“Let’s take Vietnam. When they come to us and say ‘we’ll go to zero tariffs,’ that means nothing to us because it’s the nontariff cheating that matters,” Navarro said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Cheating is such a broad term, does he mean cheating like Trump did on many of his wives, cheating at golf, cheating in elections, cheating on tax returns, cheating on business appraisals, I mean, there are so many types of cheating, what is he referring to?

Cheating like inventing an economics expert that’s just an anagram of your last time to attest that your tariff plan for America is just the greatest, number one plan of all time and we should do it
