The Knives Are Out for Cohn

The knives are out.

New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman tweets that the knives are out for Trump's  director of the National Economic Council Gary Cohn (former Goldman Scahs CEO)

To say the knives are out for Cohn, across multiple layers in West Wing and outside it, is understatement.

One senior Trump adviser described Cohn as rushing to "the front of AHCA parade" when it seemed like it would pass.

No doubt it is Steve Bannon leading the knife attack. Cohn is a big dog and the way Bannon sees it there is room for only one big dog in the White House and that spot is for him.

But, remember, the more in fighting the less time they have to harass us.

Cohn, btw, is pro-trade, Bannon is a crazed protectionist. It's not the only issue between the two but the opposing stances between them on trade probably grates on both of them on a daily basis.
