Gary Cohn, President Donald Trump's top economic adviser and former Goldman Sachs COO, is reportedly incredibly upset over Trump's press conference Tuesday in which he defended his original statement regarding the weekend violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Multiple reports following Trump's press conference said that Cohn, who is Jewish, is troubled by Trump's statements regarding white nationalists' role in the violence in Charlottesville over the past few days.
Cohn was "upset" and "disgusted" by Trump's freewheeling press conference, according to The New York Times' Glenn Thrush, who cited three sources with knowledge of Cohn's thinking. During the Trump Tower press conference, Trump said there were "two sides to a story" of what happened in Charlottesville. During a white supremacist rally, a man drove a car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing a woman.

(5,810 posts)he says buh-bye to the tRump administration. When he tells trump what he really thinks about him and what he said during that awful press event yesterday. When he stands in front of a microphone and explains loudly and forcefully why he can no longer work with this reprehensible man. That's when I will believe it. Anything less and I will assume he is simply making excuses and looking for cover.

(10,749 posts)Words are fine. Actions are better. You can't work with the Nazi president. An earlier generation learned this the hard way.
Walk the fuck away, Mr. Cohn. Otherwise, you are not only tacitly supporting but explicitly supporting a neo-Nazi president and movement. Dedicate your time and money to efforts designed to fight this president and support Jewish groups, BLM, LGBTQ movements, etc. It's the right thing to do.
