I've been saying for months that Donald Trump wants these losers there -- doing exactly what they're doing.

Go back and watch the whole video clip from that Trump Tower event. Trump's "street cred" wouldn't have been enhanced very much if he didn't have some @sshole from CNN (probably that Acosta misfit) there interrupting him. That gave Trump the opportunity to point at him and say, "Hold on, Fake News!" right there on national television. LOL.

No it didn't. He's just posturing for Janet Yellen's job at the FED. Another New York Jew closet Dem RINO who only sees fascism on the right but NEVER on the left. I grew up amongst these people. So did Donald Trump. The president should know better, but this guy as Economic Advisor is a Jivanka/Goldman Sachs hypnosis deal gone sour. Whole generations of these NY'ers vote lockstep Democrat no matter WHAT Netanyahu says. In fact practically ALL NY Jews HATE Bibi with a passion. They think Zionism (read nationalism) is POISON and hate it anywhere they find it. Like in crossover country in America because they feel safe ONLY where the language is polyglot and imports/exports rule the economy, with a zeal for internationalism like there exists in New York Shitty.

Agreed. For someone who has terrific gut instincts it’s strange to see the people he brings in to his circle to implement his agenda.

This. He has the press exactly where he wants them. They have to either

1. Dig in and continue to implode.
2. Start reporting him more fairly.

Either way he wins and they lose their minds.

Why is Trump so incredibly bad at hiring people?

_________________________________________

man...he has a horrible track record of hiring good people to the most important positions.

Trump needs to fire him before he quits

He can quit or do his job.

I wish he HAD resigned. Cohn has FAILED to deliver on tax cuts. Who needs him? Not Trump. Wall Street BOOMED after Trump’s election, long before he named the arrogant twit Cohn, and the markets don’t need him in his meaningless position.

Resign, Gary, ya putz.

The president would be better served by appointing some randomly selected "deplorable" from Skunk Hollow WV than by keeping you ...

I think it’s clear. Once the body Trump works with, pushes it into the political arena, it’s over. This is why he dismantled the business advisory groups, this is why he doesn’t subject himself to ridicule by showing up at some gala to honor artists.

I get it that President Trump likes the give-and-take. The problem is we’re over six months into the presidency and never-Trumpers and their media slaves are framing the administration. He has to move on past giving them the stage and work to get the Deplorable agenda passed.

Then resign, Cohn, and take your crappy three-bracket income tax scheme with you. Go back to Goldman Sachs or wherever you came from.

The largest and most dangerous group of neo-Nazis and white supremicists in the country follow the Religion of Peace and we aren't even allowed to restrict the number which immigrate here.

As for the losers which showed up in Charlottesville, I wonder how many of them were paid by George Soros fronts to be there. We know that the chief organizer was . . .

The former president of Goldman Sachs

Gee ... back in 2016, all the Trump supporters SWORE that GS was the height of evil, and that anybody associated with it was to be rejected as a globalist and a traitor.

Unfortunately, that’s a fair question. You’d think there’d be people out there who are competent, squeaky clean, AND 100% devoted to Trump’s agenda...so devoted that they’d take a lickin’, and keep on tickin’.

But instead we’re getting liars (Gen. Flynn) and pouters (Spicer, Cohn, etc.). I’m puzzled by this. And I can’t simply put it on the Deep State. As Truman said, “The buck stops here”.

The simple truth here is that Donald Trump cannot pass "the Deplorable agenda" on his own. The comical Twitter messages and constant humiliation of the media at their own game serves two purposes:

1. To distract public attention from the failures of Congress to pass key items in "the Deplorable agenda."

2. To distract media attention when key items in "the Deplorable agenda" are advanced.

Trump never should have hired him in the first place. Big mistake.

what’s laughable is the notion that calling out white supremacist (which he did) is going to bring the country together...has that ever brought anyone together?

How is putting a bunch of communist,anarchist and thugs on a pedestal going to bring this country together?

"President Trump, to his credit, only dealt with this nonsense in response to a public media outcry. Remember -- his comments in the lobby of Trump Tower came in response to a cacophony of questions about Charlottesville from a bunch of media losers at a public announcement that was supposed to be about the White House initiatives for public infrastructure."

Also keep in mind that this occurred at the height of the North Korea crisis, when Trump had bigger issues to confront than a rally about removing a Confederate statue. Also, the neo-Nazi involvement was not immediately apparent, since the event was billed as a rally to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, not a neo-Nazi rally. I don't think Trump initially had all the facts; I know I didn't see any film of the Tiki-torch rally until a couple of days after the event.

Trump didn’t say that, Gary

But you might want to pay attention to what his enemies, Muzzies, leftists, Universities, including some of your own Jews, are saying

If you have trouble choosing the right side, then you need to seek counseling
