Gary Cohn, the White House’s top economic adviser, announced Tuesday that he was leaving the administration amid a major internal clash over President Trump’s sharp and sudden pivot toward protectionist trade policies.
The departure of Cohn, a former president of Goldman Sachs who had been an interlocutor between the Trump administration and the business community, is the latest jolt to a White House that has been especially tumultuous in recent weeks and unable to retain some of its top talent.

And there goes another one...
Trump is turning out to be a bit of a mess on the economy despite his trumped up business accumen....tariffs?? Tariffs are a tax on the consumer and should only be used as a last resort...if then.
You can't blame Cohn, when it just becomes impossible to work with an idiot then its best to leave before ones reputation is tarnished.
