President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he would appoint Goldman Sachs President Gary D. Cohn as the president’s chief economic adviser and director of the National Economic Council.

Mr. Trump said that Mr. Cohn would be able to put his renowned business know-how to work for the American people.

“He will help craft economic policies that will grow wages for our workers, stop the exodus of jobs overseas and create many great new opportunities for Americans who have been struggling,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “He fully understands the economy and will use all of his vast knowledge and experience to make sure the American people start winning again.”

You don’t find world-class economists and finance people teaching at the community college.

Let not your heart be troubled. He will have a boss. A damned good one.

By my math,this is the second GS or former GS exec in the administration. That would be about 2 too many.

You’re more likely to find a Conservative who knows his ass from his brains at one of those lesser colleges than at some Ivy League Communist Clique.

Rubber meets the road at the Supreme Court and around the 2nd Amendment for me. In fairness, he is standing on a nuke with this financial system. He may believe that he needs one of the bomb builders to manage it. (Best I can do.)

I don’t love the pick, but think about who Jeb or Rubio would pick...or Cruz. Probably the same guy. So in the end, I’m most angry that Trump is acting like establishment on this particular pick.
