President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he would appoint Goldman Sachs President Gary D. Cohn as the president’s chief economic adviser and director of the National Economic Council.

Mr. Trump said that Mr. Cohn would be able to put his renowned business know-how to work for the American people.

“He will help craft economic policies that will grow wages for our workers, stop the exodus of jobs overseas and create many great new opportunities for Americans who have been struggling,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “He fully understands the economy and will use all of his vast knowledge and experience to make sure the American people start winning again.”

Not to worry. Trump is much smarter than the lying Injun Elizabeth Warren.

Dude. Two is two too many.

These are the people that lobby legislators, judges, and officials to enrich their own lives and businesses. They are part of the swamp.

I have trusted Trump so far. But some of these picks make me go “hmmm.” They should make you go “hmmm” as well.

Plus, no one from Goldman Sachs is entering the administration as a big contributor. Trump owes them nothing.

Trump, Tillerson, and Cohn are the kind of people who buy presidents, but here they are stepping up to serve in the spotlight. I have to admire that.

Jeeze, bow down to your can’t do wrong even when he does emperor.

I like Trump, and I trust him. But I wonder if he’s doing this to ease over the GOPE and wall street. We’ll see.

You went straight to personal attacks. I guess that means you lost the argument, eh?

Yup. The Community Reinvestment Act. I doubt very few people here know about this.

No, I won; you and a few others lost long ago, due to your abject lack of education and understanding.

Trump is no "emperor" and NOT behaving like one at all. You don't even know what words to use for what I imagine you mean/think you mean.

So just WHO do you want as Trump's economic adviser, a prof who knows NOTHING at all about the real world, the first name in some phone book, your neighbor? Good grief.....think about what the position is and what Trump is looking for!

At almost every rally, he said that he was going to pick "KILLERS"?, some whom you'd like, others whom you would, many whom you wouldn't know, but all of whom who would do THE best for this nation and her people!

The GOPE hates Trump and he hates them! He isn't someone who would EVER fit in with that group.

Were you even a Trump supporter, ever?

WHY?

And saying because he's the CEO of Goldman-Sachs does NOT count as a reason!
