Yes Trump appointed Cohn. Politics is art of the possible. Cohn did what Trump wanted. Now will not, so impossible to keep him.

Now on to whomever will do next step on Trump agenda. Trump listens to advisors. He does not let them govern.

Any chance he can take McMaster, Jarad and Ivanka with him?

He’s an Advisor. He’s not there to make policy.

He also opened his big Democrat mouth about Charlottesville.

Even without the impending trade war, there is going to be an economic downturn at some time. It’s inevitable. And when that downturn comes then Trump is going to have to depend on Steve Mnuchin for advice on how to pull us out of it. That’s scary.

Trump has an economic advisor?

The Master gets a new student.

Trump does seem to like to use specialists.

Look how used Manafort to get the GOP nomination, then he was gone.

I think Manafort was from the time after the primary was mostly wrapped up, until after the convention.

Fox Business just brought that up and indicated that Cohn had been under a lot of pressure to resign after Charlottesville and that that that pressure had continued from his friends and former employer. What a way to reach all the way back and bring that up again.

Yeah, I heard that he was working with Paul Ryan to try and stop President Trump from imposing tariffs.

Good riddance. I don’t have any problem with the comings and goings of these positions in the administration, because it’s like the President said the other day...

“The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong! People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision. I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!”

internal struggle amid a Wild West-style process

Lunatic left says everything is in a tail-spin, Trump is done, he can't win, etc...since 2016

Yep, next guy is probably oriented more toward trade and tariffs.

DOW futures are down 300 on the news but after a good night’s sleep I think they’ll rally on Wednesday.
