the first and most immediate being the tariffs the president is planning to impose. gary cohn was the voice in the white house. a really urgent voice in the white house against that. now the stock markets are panicking. without gary cohn, who is in the white house to speak up against the tariffs? jerffrey toobin, the presidet doubling down on the steel tariffs. a trade war could be very good. i think it is an interesting lesson in, you know, the ethics and principles of gary cohn. gary cohn made a big show of being disgusted with the president s behavior after charlottesville. he may resign over the president s racism. he stomached the racism. he could not take tariffs. if you want to weigh the morale imperatives, it doesn t reflect well on gary cohn. at the same time, his job was
we talked to sources at the time. gary cohn was upset about the president s comments there were fine people on both sides in the charlott charlottesville. we heard at the time that gary cohn was considering leaving the white house over those remarks and it was during the period, wolf, you recall that steve bannon was being shown the door at the white house. the president had enough of steve bannon, but before steve bannon left the white house because this is how steve bannon operated, he would tell people, sources and so on, he really did not like gary cohn s globalist views and that one nickname was given to cohn inside the white house was quote globalist gary. so, wolf, this appears to be a casualty of just an economic, you know, knife fight going on behind the scenes inside the white house. two pre-trialivailing view notie
