Peter Navarro trolled as he rants on not seeing 'fresh orange' in his 4-month Miami prison time
MIAMI FLORIDA: Peter Navarro, a former top White House adviser to Donald Trump, is serving a four-month sentence in a Miami prison, and the living conditions are not up to the mark, according to him.
Despite his circumstances in prison, he remains uninterested in a potential pardon from Trump, should the former president return to power.
Peter Navarro’s stand on executive privilege
Navarro, 74, has made history as the first White House official to be imprisoned for contempt. Despite his situation, he maintains, “I have no regrets. I didn’t choose this fight, this fight chose me.”
Navarro expressed his determination to fight his case, which he views as a landmark constitutional case regarding the separation of powers and executive privilege.
“I will not give the Supreme Court any excuse to duck what is otherwise a landmark constitutional case regarding the separation of powers and executive privilege,” Navarro told Wall Street Journal in an emailed interview.
He is currently appealing his contempt of Congress conviction for stonewalling the House panel investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. One of his appeals was rejected on Thursday.
Donald Trump wants Peter Navarro back in office
While Navarro may not be seeking a pardon, Trump has indicated he would welcome Navarro back into his administration.
Trump criticized the Democrats for their “outrageous behavior” and expressed his willingness to have Navarro back on his team.
“I would absolutely have Peter back. This outrageous behavior by the Democrats should not have happened,” Trump told the publication.
Navarro, on the other hand, stated that while he isn’t actively seeking a job, he would consider one “if the boss needs me.”
Peter Navarro’s life behind bars
Navarro is currently held at the Federal Correctional Institution in Miami, a facility for male inmates.
He resides in quarters for low-security offenders and has voiced various complaints about his living conditions.
Navarro spends his days working in the law library, exercising in the yard, and penning opinion pieces for The Washington Times.
He sleeps in a dorm pod with about 50 other inmates and works on his appeal when time permits.
Peter Navarro complains about prison diet
When Navarro surrendered in March, CNN observed that inmates could hear the roar of lions from the nearby zoo.
But Navarro says, “This is prison, plain and simple, no country for old men.” He added, "Don’t fall into that pastoral zoo bull***t.”
He criticized the diet provided by the prison, which he claims is high in sugar and carbohydrates, and laments the lack of fresh fruit, stating, “Protein MIA. Haven’t seen a fresh orange or grapefruit in the heart of citrus country since I got here.”
Despite the prison’s claim of providing a variety of healthy food options, including "fresh fruit daily," Navarro says inmates resort to buying better food in the commissary. He admits to being a “hot chili ramen noodle freak.”
Peter Navarro plans to speak in favor of Donald Trump when he is released
Navarro also hopes to speak at the Republican nominating convention after his scheduled release on July 17, two days after he turns 75.
If given the chance, Navarro plans to reflect on his plight and the various prosecutions facing Trump at the conventions, warning, “Something like, ‘If they can come for me—and they surely did—they can come for you.’”
Internet swats Peter Navarro: 'Take your medicine for the evil you did'
Republican supporters rallying behind Navarro, portray his conviction as fostering revenge against the Bidden administration.
"As long as Peter Navarro and the J6ers are in jail, revenge will be a strong motivation for Trump supporters," wrote author and cartoonist Scott Adams on X (formerly Twitter).
He further wrote, "Evil knows revenge is coming for it... I want revenge, within the strict bounds of the legal system."
One more wrote, "Revenge to have people held accountable. We don't see it anymore. Dems putting opponents in prison for bogus and inflated charges, and letting other Dems skate without ever being charged!"
However all didn't agree, "Prison isn’t supposed to be fun," one comment reads on X.
One more wrote, "Take your medicine for the evil you did!" One more wrote, referring to his conviction, "I would expect them to 'come for me' if I defied a subpoena from Congress."
One more wrote, "It’s not revenge. It’s Justice. It’s punishment."
As long as Peter Navarro and the J6ers are in jail, revenge will be a strong motivation for Trump supporters.

It is for me.
Revenge has great utility. It's the (real) basis of our justice system, not rehabilitation, and it's one of the main forces that keeps evil in check.… https://t.co/0yd0cMnlrq
I would expect them to "come for me" if I defied a subpoena from Congress.
