If you had Gary Cohn in the office pool, you win

Abandon ship!



Was that really only this morning? This must be Munchkinland.
President Donald Trump's top economic adviser Gary Cohn is resigning, the White House announced on Tuesday.

Cohn, who had been rumored just weeks ago as a potential next chief of staff, will leave the White House in the wake of his fierce disagreement with the President's decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Cohn is expected to leave in the coming weeks, the White House said.

[...]

Cohn's resignation sounded alarm bells in establishment circles in Washington and on Wall Street, where many viewed the former Goldman Sachs executive as a steadying influence on economic policy inside the Trump White House.

Unfortunately, the problem is that anybody who wants the job is going to be on the caliber of HUD director Ben Carson and Energy director Rick Perry.

Abandon hope!

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
