Jamieson Greer: Tariff Whisperer, Lobbyist Extraordinaire, and Defender of the Forgotten Billionaire
Meet Jamieson Greer, the human embodiment of a non-disclosure agreement and a walking LinkedIn profile in a MAGA tie. A trade lawyer by title, a corporate concierge by function, Greer rose to prominence by whispering sweet deregulation into the ears of power, while working behind the scenes to ensure that if anyone got hurt by U.S. trade policy, it sure as hell wouldn't be a multinational corporation.
Greer served as Chief of Staff to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, where he took a sledgehammer to global trade norms with the subtlety of a frat bro shotgunning tariffs at a G7 summit. His job was to make protectionism look polished, trade wars sound strategic, and somehow argue with a straight face that jacking up costs for American consumers was “pro-worker.”
Greer is Donny's Tariff backer.
Experience: Swamp Navigator, Beltway Edition Greer cut his teeth at Wiley Rein, the DC law firm equivalent of a velvet glove on a steel lobbyist hand. After a brief cosplay as a public servant during the Donny's first reign, he returned to the private sector to cash in on the chaos he helped create.
Whether it's advising Big Pharma, the fossil fuel brigade, or your favorite Fortune 100 who'd rather not pay taxes - Jamieson's your guy. As long as the check clears and the optics are manageable, he'll be there, sliding loopholes across a mahogany table like he's dealing poker.
Greer is a Mormon and coincidentally also a Moron.
Public Persona: Vanilla Rage with a Side of Plausible Deniability Greer speaks fluent "technocrat" - long strings of trade jargon designed to put watchdogs to sleep while slipping a loophole the size of a Boeing tax break into legislation. He’s the kind of guy who’ll lecture you on the sanctity of “American manufacturing” while filing paperwork to offshore your pension plan to a mailbox in Bermuda.
When he’s not testifying in front of Congress with all the warmth of a parking ticket, he’s back-channeling favors through think tanks that sound like college dorms - Freedom Partners, Prosperity Fund, Liberty Alliance… pick one, they all mean the same thing: corporate welfare in a patriot costume.
Legacy: Profits Over People, Policy As Performance Jamieson Greer isn't just part of the swamp - he's one of the guys who sells bottled swamp water to politicians and calls it “job creation.” He doesn’t write trade policy for you, the worker, or the small business — he writes it for the CEO looking to slap a “Made in America” sticker on a product made entirely in Vietnam.
