heads better roll. It was useless for Cohn to steal a memo. All it demonstrated was just how bad judgement he and those in league with him have, with little regard of how far-reaching the implications of his narcissism could become.
The admin brought South Korea to the negotiating table and has gone forward with renegotiating, and, as this apprehensive article from Korea details, we will sign that renegotiated agreement at the UN General Assembly this month. In spite of Cohn. But look at the chatter coming out of SoKo as a result of the unwarranted and undeserved negative publicity:
Cohn is a registered Democrat, and is definitely connected to the big money power structure out of NYC, including Goldman Sachs - where his salary in 2015 was ~$21 million. When he left them to join the administration his severance package was ~$285 million. This is crazy money for a guy with a bachelors degree in business who is just working for a company/investment house. It also underscores how being connected to big money begets big money, why big money works to influence US monetary policy, and the amount of resources they have at their disposal to do so.
I'm sure those on this gravy train don't want anything to upset their foreign deals and investments, and don't want anything like a ‘trade war’ to complicate their business dealings and threaten the flow of big money.
This is what Trump is up against in trying to fight for those who voted for him. It also makes it clear that most of us are just along for the ride when it comes to having much influence on how our economy runs and where the money goes. It took a billionaire like Trump, who is not beholden to the system, to have the reach to be able to fight the system. Most others who have that kind of money appear to be part of the system - in one way or another. We need major, major reform.
It seems you accept Woodward’s word at face value such as believing Cohn stole a memo off POTUS’s desk.
Maybe he did or maybe he didn’t.
You don’t know but you write and post as if you were there witnessing it.
Why is that?
