Gary Cohn, Trump's chief economic advisor quits.

 

[Reasonable]

Trump’s top economic Gary Cohn just resigned.
Looks like he’s had enough of this bumbling president too.
He tried to get Trump to not put the tariffs on along with other top knowledgeable personnel but of course the prez who knows nothing about this issue wouldn’t listen.

Elect a clown. Expect a circus.

Good to get the liberals out as we move towards 2021.

Let’s cross out another one.
What a dysfunction mess this White House is.
It’s not like we didn’t warn you.

Trump says his brand of chaos and leads to “good work” and he’s a “perfectionist”. This leads to great outcomes.

I think it leads to 7 bankruptcies and counting. But then Trump had bragged about how much money he personally makes off those bankruptcies, so I guess that’s his definition of a great outcome.

Good it's about time....

Gary Cohn has forgotten more about finance than Trump has ever known.

“ I alone can fix it”

Gary Cohn To Step Down From Trump Administration

The former Goldman Sachs executive has served as Trump’s chief economic adviser since the president’s inauguration.

Gary Cohn, who has served as President Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser since last year, will step down from his position, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

According to the Times, Cohn will leave his role as director of the National Economic Council in “the coming weeks.”

The White House later confirmed the news:

COHN BAILS!

Link: Gary Cohn to Resign as Trump’s Top Economic Adviser


"Gary D. Cohn, President Trump’s top economic adviser, plans to resign, becoming the latest in a series of high-profile departures from the Trump administration, White House officials said on Tuesday.
The officials insisted there was no single factor behind the departure of Mr. Cohn, who heads the National Economic Council. But his decision to leave came after he seemed poised to lose an internal struggle amid a Wild West-style process over Mr. Trump’s plan to impose large tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

“Gary has been my chief economic adviser and did a superb job in driving our agenda, helping to deliver historic tax cuts and reforms and unleashing the American economy once again,” Mr. Trump said in a statement to The New York Times. “He is a rare talent, and I thank him for his dedicated service to the American people.”
Mr. Cohn is expected to leave in the coming weeks. He will join a string of recent departures by senior White House officials, including Mr. Trump’s communications director and a powerful staff secretary.
Yet the departure of Mr. Cohn, a free-trade oriented Democrat who fended off a number of nationalist-minded policies during his year in the Trump administration, could have a ripple effect on the president’s economic decisions and on the financial sector.
Even the mere threat, last August, that Mr. Cohn might leave sent the financial markets tumbling.
And his planned exit comes as the president is making a more aggressive return to the nationalist policies that helped sweep him into office as the 2018 midterms approach"

LOL!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER FAT HEAD ROLLS OUT OF WHITE HOUSE...You know, the place where Trump said today that EVERYBODY wants to work.
What a fucking loser!!!!! Trump and Cohn.

Let's face it the ship of state is being run by Krusty the Clown.

The few adults in that Romper Room formerly known as the Oval Office have fled the mad boy king.

Soon the only person who will remain with Trump will be the wormtongue Stephen Miller.

God help us all when that happens.

Cohn is a Goldman Saks guy. Looks like the swamp is telling Trump to go fuck himself.

Let’s cross out another one.
What a dysfunction mess this White House is.
It’s not like we didn’t warn you.

Is Melania still there? His aides and supporters talked about his being alone in the evenings and early in the morning. I know Melania shows up for his public appearances so where is she nights and mornings when he’s “alone”.

Loved the white #timesup pantsuit at the State of the Union. A nice follow up to the pink “pussy bow” blouse she wore to the debate right after the Access Hollywood tape came out.

Melania is a subversive. She’s not even subtle about it.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Tillerson will be next. Carson may have to resign for abusing taxpayer dollars, McMaster is desperate to get out, Sessions is going to be fired, Javanka's going to leave because Daddy didn't buy them top secret clearance... and then there's John Kelly. How much longer is he willing to disgrace his name and service?

 

[WaitingFor2020]

LOLOLOLOLL!!!!!!!!!

Add Gary to the list.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE THIS ON FOX NOISE.

I’d surmise that Melania signed an agreement that she wouldn’t leave the lech until he’s out of the White House. The way it looks now she’ll be getting her freedom sooner rather than later.
