Cohn, Out. Trump's Little House of Chaos Take Another Hit.
Trump's top economics advisor, Gary Cohn, is jumping ship. Cohn warned the Mango Mussolini that he might pack up his briefcase if Trump went ahead with a tariff war over steel and aluminium imports and it seems he followed through on the threat.
I just cannot get my head around the psychology that "there are good people among the white supremacists" is not a bridge too far, but tariffs are - "I can like suck up the white supremacy for a tax cut, but this is my red line."

Gary Cohn's legacy: "I shot the tariff, but I did not shoot the white supremacy."
