so did gary cohn resign or was he forced to resign? reporter: there were people saying internal reply gary cohn was not happy the direction the president was taking on these tariffs. that gary cohn should not be surprised. the president campaigned on. this he said throughout the campaign. that was part of his pitch to workers in places like west virginia, michigan, ohio, that he believed in protectionist trade policies. that he was going to slap countries with tariffs. so one has to wonder, what did gary cohn think the president would do? all week long, there was some expense gary cohn was not going to leave the white house. as you heard, there were
made with transgenders in the military. the secretary said no. who bon? the secretary of defense. and who won, the department of justice said no. the deputy attorney general appoint as special counsel. as the president talks about no chaos. the cabinet secretaries are saying i m doing my own thing. this is a president who has been in office a little over a 84. he s had a massive amount of turnover. people feel it is day on theic and difficult to work for him. that in the end, donald trump makes decisions, he throws a grenade in the room and walks out. that s what seems to be happening. lots of policy matters. and these tariffs are the latest example. i was just text go with somebody very close to gary cohn.
we keep making the same mistake. presuming the president is not making negotiating moves. we have a parallel. north korea. he says we will whack them. then he says maybe they paid attenti attention. i see a parallel where he is making people around the world skeptical about economic policy and maybe if you give me something on nafta. this may be negotiating. is this because he is worried about losing seats in pennsylvania? that s a good point, gloria. and to play on the world stage because you don t want to be embarrassed by congressional losses, seems to me, to be something you don t want to do. and if gary cohn is leaving because of this, it is probably because he felt it is the last straw. you cannot do that to our allies. there has to be a certain amount of predictability from a president.
