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.

MAGA.
not bad
Kudlow believes in free markets, not government control.
Trump was and is a successful businessman.
This is what we need to get businesses and the economy going and thriving to MAGA.
Kudlow, like you, is a Free Traitor. This is another set back and another unforced error. Hopefully Kudlow only lasts a few months...
If you like government control, you may consider moving to N. Korea.
Navarro and Cohn couldn’t work together. I’m not sure Navarro and Kudlow can. The differences in the views of the two men on tariffs are insurmountable.
Stop.
You seem extremely unhappy with FR, these days.
Why not take a break, rather than constantly berate posters with you spam?
Tariffs are in the USC Section 8. Try reading it some time.
You stop.
Keep pushing your Free Trader agitprop. Like a good little Marxists.
Trumps is trying to level the playing field.

Trump names Larry Kudlow as top economic adviser
Im not using the Dem/Alinsky playbook, by calling folks here traitors.
Stop with the agitprop.
We take it you prefer HEllary as President.
If not Hellary, then who? Who would be your perfect President, with a perfect trade plan?
He has told us many times...... George Washington
Agreed. Kudlow is excellent. But I am a big fan of his podcast and I really hate the idea that it will no longer be available for me.
So sad.
You know central va has been very consistent in calling those of us who disagree ideologically on free trade views “traitors”. I think it is hard to have a reasoned debate when one side resorts to name calling on the outset.
Lol!! Oh, the impossible President.
I somehow dont think even Geo Washington would fill the bill, for that one :-)
Read this other article. It sheds more light on the Trump-Kudlow discussions.

I’ve known him a long time, Trump said We don’t agree on everything. In this case I think it’s good. I want a diversity of opinion He backed me very early in the campaign, I think the earliest. I think he was one of my original backers. He’s a very, very talented man.
Like Cohn, Kudlow has also said he opposes tariffs. But the president suggested that Kudlow had warmed to the idea, at least as a negotiating tactic for trade agreements.
