Gary Cohn: Key Trump economic policy aide resigns breaking on bbc

It's hard to inspire loyalty when you can't even keep a viable cabinet. Now that Hope is gone Trump has lapsed into a depression. And now trying to force Kelly out. MacMasters next?

Still winning....

Trump is like the guy who doesn’t bathe and doest even realize why people are leaving the room one after the other.

He’s looking around saying

“Hey where's everybody going, what’s wrong?

Interesting.

A registered democrat, heavy donor to the republican party and former CEO and President of Goldman Sachs.

Seems the trash is taking itself out.

He's leaving for a very valid reason, the tarrifs are a bad idea and even Republicans, economists are saying that, and others in the admin are saying that, and of course a trade war with the EU, never mind elsewhere, would be a disaster as they put up their own tarrifs on American goods.

Ironically you call Cohen trash in the same breath as Goldman Sachs, and yes they are trashy...but what you forget, is that Trump himself is not so adverse to working a deal with them...so he's just more trash..just not the same class of trash.
Still you might look on the bright side, with a trade war, stateside could be buying a Russian made Ford Fiesta or SUVEco soon

Trump is being deserted. The writings are on the wall. Trump is an unmitigated disaster for America and the world

He announced these tariffs on the spur of the moment, cause he was mad, and didn’t even inform the cabinet!

Trump to Administration: I was elected based on promises, and I will do my best to keep every promise made. If you don't remember them, here's a list. If we are no longer in agreement, you're welcome to leave, with no hard feelings. The people who entrusted me with this job and their future, come first. Thank-you.

ROFL.
Shame there isn't joke of the year awards on ATS.
I would definitely nominate this post

He was elected just over Year ago and it's looks like he will be rejected before the end of this year.

He's upset his advice is being ignored by Kevin Hassett. Egos can be a powerful motivator when your boss ignores you.

Chalk-up another Swamper crawling up on land 😀

Y'all said that last year.

Cohn, who heads the National Economic Council, had reportedly threatened to leave after Trump’s incendiary comments following the fatal race riot in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Took him long enough to leave, to be so distraught about the matter.

But his decision to quit comes after Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, a move he and Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin have reportedly vehemently opposed.

Ah I see. He is more outraged that Trump is stopping other countries from taking advantage of America than he was about the other thing he threatened to quit over.

This is what I like to call the purge. If you do not have a ticket, you do not ride the Trump Train. The conductor comes around to check the tickets and he is very good at telling which one's are forgeries.

With all of these positions open, maybe Trump needs to fill them with ticket holders.

He is really good at creating jobs. He just gets rid of the one's that are not performing their duties to the upmost of their abilities.

lol. That is true. They did.
I wonder if it is a safe bet that they will be saying the same thing next year, and the next, and the next, so on and so forth.

Yeah? Because he is mad? Don't other countries taking advantage of trade policies make you mad? It does me.

Trump is the President. He discussed it with the people he wanted to discuss it with. The cabinet is there to make sure it gets done. He is their boss. He is doing a good job at getting rid of the one's that don't support him. He is separating the chaff from the wheat. A process that he is very good at.

At some point we have to understand what we believe is not reality.

Yes, he's very good at getting rid of the wheat from the chaffe, the only "wheat" is family members or people who swear complete "loyalty" in Trump's definition of such.

He is absolutely the BEST at ridding himself of absolutely everyone with something to contribute, ran off more people than any previous president.

He knows nothing about policy ("who thought healthcare could be so complicated?") and doesn't care that he doesn't know. He's a child, most adults including just about every Republican, are comfortable enough in their own skin to lean on others' expertise. Not Trump, has to be the messiah in every sense.

He is wrecking the government to thunderous applause by the people who will be hurt the most. When the bills come due and the deficit sky rockets, it will be the bilionaires who made a fortune off these couple years, and it will be the regular common guy that suffers. Happened under both Bushes who followed the same plan.

Yay for American fascism. Yay for the .01%. Yay for ripping away democratic processes to compromise. Yay for sticking it to the Dems as the only real goal. Yay for Russia's victory.

This minority government is leading us to a total disaster, a constitutional crises, international disdain, Russia rising, China rising, the U.S. increasingly seen as stupid, corrupt, broken, and NOT trusted.

yay

If you are having trouble with reality you might want to seek professional help...

@realDonaldTrump
Will be making a decision soon on the appointment of new Chief Economic Advisor. Many people wanting the job - will choose wisely!

Scaramoochi is still at a loose end !
Why not Jarvanka ?

in other news : Stormy Daniels sues over hush agreement

It's still only midweek, can't wait to see what other crap Trump will come up with !

You must be a Bannon fan. lol

He knows nothing about policy

Only policy of his is winning.

Yeah. Those tax breaks are killing the working man. Deficit skyrockets? lol. I guess you forgot about the previous administration's contribution to the deficit. But now you think its bad. lol.

Yay for American fascism. Yay for the .01%. Yay for ripping away democratic processes to compromise. Yay for sticking it to the Dems as the only real goal. Yay for Russia's victory.

Yeah it is much better for other countries to take advantage of our trade policies. While we are at it, we should give Iran another 300 billion dollars, because they only have our best interest in mind. Russia? Oh, you haven't got past that yet. Russia did receive a victory in the Uranium deal, but I bet Trump had something to do with that too. lmao.

This minority government is leading us to a total disaster, a constitutional crises, international disdain, Russia rising, China rising, the U.S. increasingly seen as stupid, corrupt, broken, and NOT trusted.

I know right. Job growth on the rise, stock market doing good, the working man is really getting screwed hard earning more money. What does Trump think he is doing, making America great again or something?
