Kudlow to become Trump's next top economic adviser

President Donald Trump will name Larry Kudlow, the conservative media analyst who served as his informal economic adviser during the 2016 campaign, as the next head of the White House National Economic Council, two sources familiar with the decision tell CNN. Trump offered Kudlow the job Tuesday night over the phone and he accepted, the source said.

The move makes Kudlow Trump's second top economic adviser after Gary Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs executive who worked for Trump for over a year, announced his resignation earlier this month over internal disagreements around the President's decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

Kudlow was long seen as the front-runner for the job. CNBC first reported Kudlow accepted the offer.

What are you saying? I am Trumps biggest supporters and Kudlow is a globalist ass. Trump made a mistake here. I hope Kudlow only lasts a few weeks like the “Mooch”.

But Trump’s position on tariffs is right between Kudlow and Navarro: He wants to use the threat of Navarro’s approach to get more fair trade deals.

And Larry can understand and live with that.

It was between Cohn’s and Navarro’s as well. We’ll see how it works out.

What the heck was Trump doing with the former president of Goldman fox in charge of his admin’s economic chickens anyway?

Another bad personnel decision precipitated by the liberal Manhattan Democrats Jivanka that has finally been righted—pun intended.

I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.
