Peter Navarro suggests Jared Kushner faked his cancer diagnosis for sympathy to sell his memoir

Peter Navarro, the former White House trade advisor, suggested that Jared Kushner faked a claim that he had cancer to help sell copies of his forthcoming memoir.

Trump's son-in-law wrote in his book, "Breaking History: A White House Memoir," that he was diagnosed and treated for thyroid cancer while he was working at the White House as a senior advisor, The New York Times reported.

According to the book, Kushner was diagnosed in October 2019 and sought to hide the illness from Trump, though the then-president eventually found out.

Navarro was asked in a Thursday interview with Newsmax, shared by Mediaite, why Kushner would have hidden his diagnosis from Trump.

I really don't think he would fake a cancer diagnosis.
Nonetheless, I love the Trumpy cannibalism here!

I seriously dislike Jared but I would never accuse him of that. For one thing it’s a really low down stupid thing to do, easy to check up on. And for another thing what would be the point.
