Globalist Gary Cohn from Goldman resigns

Oh lord, did you fellas have the same opinion when Trump brought this dude on in the first place or is it just another example of Trump can do no wrong...no matter what he does.

Appoints Cohen...Hell yeah!

Cohen leaves...good riddance to that globalist swamp denizen.

C'mon man. Cohen is the definition of swamp. No Trump voter was excited about his appointment I'm pretty sure. Trump said of his hiring something akin to "yeah he's GS but I want the best people. Why would I appoint somebody who doesn't know what they're doing?" It was a bitter pull to swallow but not everything is roses.

In this instance, you are fake news.

:rolleyes:

If I was prone to do so, I know...beyond a shadow of a doubt...I could go pull up quotes from people here defending his appointment when I and others questioned It in connection with Trump’s claim to be draining the swamp.

You are saying Cohen is the definition of swamp. Do you really buy that there wasn’t one swamp dweller out there that “knows what they are doing” as your quote reflects? I don’t. Trump appointed the very definition of swamp as you say. When I pointed that out, Cohen was defended. Trump isn’t interested in draining the swamp. He just wants to be sure he has his own loyal alligators in it.

In this instance, you’re getting fed a crap sandwich by Trump and gobbling it like it is caviar.

I find it interesting that when Cohn was appointed, Trump was railed on for appointing another Wall Street fat cat and was used as evidence that he wasn't draining the swamp. Now, its a bad thing that he's leaving. I don't know if he's good or bad for me, but I find the lack of consistency pretty absurd.

I find the exact opposite response from those defending his initial appointment as not a swamp appointment now celebrating his leaving as draining the swamp equally interesting.

Looks like I was busting HSH balls, preferring to take a wait and see approach.

If Cohn gave us the tax bill. Glad we had him.

If Cohn is overly globalist as we pivot to trade, then glad to see him go. The nuance is in what exactly the word 'overly' means.

Well reasoned response with merit. Thank you for it.

I don't argue this point. Both sides apply their own pro or anti Trump biases to the analysis. As I said above, frankly, I'm not nuanced enough to know if him being there or not is good or bad for me. I'm not a fan of these tariffs and I am a fan of the tax bill, so maybe I'm closely aligned to Kohn's positions. But frankly, I don't know him well enough to know his real positions. As for the tariffs, I'm still waiting to see if they actually get implemented or if its just saber-rattling during the NAFTA renegotiation.

Fair enough.
 
Who the hell is Gary Cohn? Didn't he create some good music back in the day?
 
I never wanted to see any GS people in the White House but he did a better than average job on taxes, it's not the bill I'd of liked to of seen but it is a hell of a lot better than what we had. If he's not on board the America First agenda then I say "don't let the door hit you in the butt".

I've also never been comfortable with other's in the Trump administration including McMasters, Kirstjen Nielsen and Jared and Ivanka.

Rich isn't it? Do you keep a list of "globalists"?
