In a trade war, the only countries which lose are those with trade surplus. This is so elementary, I can not believe the career politicians are trying to scare us.

You hit the ten ring. This country can produce, design or build almost anything. Like Trump says, no problem trading, it's just we're not going to get looted anymore.

Enough of this stupid Sessions posting, He has the presidents confidence and this childish “I want him to do what I say” stuff is old and moldy.

If The prez has him there I am happy, if you do not like it I lose no sleep

Grow up

If you were a Trump fan from day 1 I’m sure you would have heard his 45% tax speech. This isn’t even Trump all in yet. Relax, companies that don’t want to be taxed in the biggest market will build locally or pressure other nations to lift their taxes. If they go the other way then ...as I said, Trump isn’t all in yet. If you didn’t think this was his position then you obviously weren’t listening

About 8,000 steelworkers have lost their jobs in Mexico in the last two years, 5,000 of them this year alone, as a result of cheap Chinese steel imports.

Sorry, guys, I will vote for Trump, but I will never join your Cult of Personality.

Go look at my anti-Gary Cohn posts from a year ago.

Bottom Line - why did Trump hire a New York City Democrat to be his top economic adviser in the first place?

A number of folks worry that Trump will be negatively swayed and/or controlled by folks he has around him - yet those who try to do the controlling seem to be the ones that end up leaving....

Rofl. Dems are already raging about imaginary Russian meddling. Nobody’s listening anymore.

Libs wouldn’t be libs if they weren’t raging about non existent travesties.

I'm glad to be rid of Cohn - listening to his advice would probably lead to a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis or something worse.

Unfortunately, we won't be rid of Jared and Ivanka's malign liberal influence in the White House - oddly enough, even they have their fanbase on this site. I support the political and economic agenda that Trump ran on and will continue to do so. That doesn't mean that I owe his friends and family members my political loyalty.

Re: “He’s gone, deal with it.”

Did you even read my post?

I was anti-Gary Cohn from his first day.

Bottom Line - if Conservatives do not hold Trump responsible for his own appointments, who will?

Clearly, you don't.

Interesting how some 'people' are making such a big deal over the turnovers and the descriptive wording ‘dissaray’ ‘turmoil’ ‘turbulent’ they put on the departures - compared to the previous administration which if my faulty memory doesn't fail me had an 'interesting' amount of first term turn over also, but it was ‘no big deal’ ‘honeymoon phase’ ‘just getting more qualified people’ in the headlines-

Wasn’t he championed by Jared and Ivanka? I’m glad he’s leaving. Let’s get someone who actually supports the man he works for. (What a concept.)

I haven't heard that, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Another liberal bullet we dodged was having Scaramucci as WH communications director.

I’m glad he’s leaving. Let’s get someone who actually supports the man he works for. (What a concept.)

Or, more to the point than personal loyalty, isn't it time we had a White House cabinet who actually supports the American nationalist agenda that got Trump elected?
