Hard for me to believe he would give up that gig. That is a huge downgrade in salary.
Still waiting to hear why the founder, CEO and President of Fex Ex was meeting with Trump
GOLDMAN SACHS.... SWAMP BUILDERS
Sounds like a great choice to me!
“Hard for me to believe he would give up that gig. That is a huge downgrade in salary.”
There are a bunch of business magnates being drawn into this administration - it strikes me as a pattern, and as much more pronounced than is typical.
Perhaps Trump is rallying his peers in a patriotic effort, akin to the charity functions where they hobnob together.
Although the money may not be there (let’s hope its not), there is great prestige and opportunity to self-actualize for some of these super high achievers.
He may also be raiding the Democrat Party of some talent and wealthy supporters, which could mark a turning point, where it becomes acceptable (survivable) for NY financiers (and dare I say wealthy NY Jews) to openly become Republicans.
Gary Cohn is 55 years old, earns $8 million a year, and has exercised $18 million in options with who-knows-how-much-more in his portfolio. There comes a time when a man looks to accomplish more than making more money after he’s reached the top of his field, which is why many CEOs do other things after they and their families are set for life. Bill Gates would be an extreme example, I’d say Cohn is much more motivated by the opportunity to help make American great.

Not hard for me to believe, he wants to serve his country. It has nothing to do with salary but the desire to do something great.
Trump is a hugely successful businessman who can access business icons with a phone call...something that Obama never had access to unless he promised something in return. Obama is a political whore...Trump is a man of power in his own light...
