Here’s What People Are Saying About Gary Cohn’s Resignation

President Donald Trump’s top economic advisor, Gary Cohn, plans to resign, marking just the latest departure by a top White House official in recent months.

The pending exit, announced on Tuesday, added to the perception of chaos in the Trump Administration, which has careened from leaks about the ongoing Russia investigation to Trump’s surprise announcement about tariffs to the recent departure of White House communications chief Hope Hicks. Tuesday’s announcement also set off a huge reaction on Twitter, where Cohn’s fans and critics chimed in to praise his 14-month tenure or to attack his service.

Cohn, a former president who served as Trump’s Director of the White House National Economic Council, announced the departure just days after reportedly failing to change Trump’s mind about imposing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. In terms of policy victories, Cohn played a major role in the recent tax overhaul.
