Gary Cohn to Resign as Trumps Top Economic Adviser
Source: NYT
Gary D. Cohn, President Trumps top economic adviser, plans to resign, becoming the latest in a series of high-profile departures from the Trump administration, White House officials said on Tuesday.
The officials insisted there was no single factor behind the departure of Mr. Cohn, who heads the National Economic Council. But his decision to leave came after he seemed poised to lose an internal struggle amid a Wild West-style process over Mr. Trumps plan to impose large tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
Gary has been my chief economic adviser and did a superb job in driving our agenda, helping to deliver historic tax cuts and reforms and unleashing the American economy once again, Mr. Trump said in a statement to The New York Times. He is a rare talent, and I thank him for his dedicated service to the American people.
Mr. Cohn is expected to leave in the coming weeks. He will join a string of recent departures by senior White House officials, including Mr. Trumps communications director and a powerful staff secretary.

There is so many games that are played now from high frequency trading, to placing orders on various indexes to affect the bid/ask price to move the market one way or another, then acting to take advantage of those market moves,and removing the original order before it get executed.
Your assessment about trump is right on.
The one's that will be impacted immediately by any downward move will be those that have to sell.
