President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he would appoint Goldman Sachs President Gary D. Cohn as the presidents 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.

I wanted a librarian for this job...not someone that actually knows something about economics.
Trump is playing right into the hands of the Elizabeth Warren 2020 campaign.
I’m not going to abandon the Donald over this. I know that Goldman doesn’t hire anyone but top tier talent. I will trust the President’s judgement until given a reason not to. Regardless, saving the SCOTUS from the dems was a priority for me.
OMGs! Liberal splody heads erupt!
What’s next, he hires someone from Halliburton???
Dick Cheney???
I’m loving this.
It’s a TARP!
Just because he headed Goldman, doesn't mean you have to cross him out.
Obviously, Trump knows him and the gujy knows and understands economics.
What is it with Trump and Goldman Sachs? Does he have a lot of loans with them, maybe some sweetheart loans? I really don’t like to have a lot of power connected with one large bank.
Would you rather have some IVORY TOWER, never done ANYTHING in the real world, in that post? If so, you’re not very smart.
Trump is picking some serious timber for his cabinet picks.
HORSEFEATHERS!
they’d pick the CEO...of a mom and pop store in Idaho
WAKE UP AND STOP BEING SUCH A DAMNED HYSTERIC/SNOWFLAKE!
Until Trump starts implementing flawed policy, I haven’t got much to say here.
These people are working for Trump now. He is not working for them.
Trump’s agenda will prevail.
Please keep in mind, a new president will be selected for Goldman Sachs. It may turn out to be a much better person.
We’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out.
May not be quite as much fun as going all-in against Trump right now, but it’s probably more reasoned.
Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do; PICKING "KILLERS" !
Gee, wonder if the MSM will have anything to say about the contradiction between Trump having a supposed army of Neo-Nazi supporters, and the fact that he picked a Jewish banker to be his Chief Economic Adviser?
so what is Steven Mnuchin suppose to do as Sec. of Treasury ?
No need to be an obnoxious shit about it. Many people questioned Hillary’s suitability for the job due to her ties to Goldman Sachs. I don’t want out government to be too cozy with Wall Street no matter who wins. Don’t forget these are the people who brought us the worst financial crisis since the great depression and the got our government to bail them out.
Ted Cruz’ wife wasn’t available. LOL
