President Trump Talks Cabinet Shakeup As His Team Accused Of Big Spending

Shake Up

Larry Kudlow who was named Director of the National Economic Council replaced Gary Cohn.

“The greatest and most important thing for this and any other country that rapid economic growth and prosperity for everyone,” Kudlow said. “That is my basic view and it has been for decades.”

Trump had made comments previously to the firing of Tillerson.

“It’s tough. I like conflict. I like having two people with different points of view and I certainly have that,” Mr. Trump said. “And then I make a decision. But I like watching it. I like seeing it. And I think it’s the best way to go. I like different points of view.”
