"President Donald Trump’s love for, and obsessive viewing of, cable news is well-documented, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that his new pick as chief economic adviser is a veteran talking head: Larry Kudlow, a longtime CNBC fixture, economic commentator, and weekend radio host, will replace Gary Cohn as director of the National Economic Council (NEC).
Like Cohn, Kudlow worked for decades in the financial sector, rising to become chief economist at Bear Stearns before pivoting to punditry in the 1990s. But unlike Cohn, Kudlow is an extremely doctrinaire supply-sider, almost to the point of parody. It is only a very slight exaggeration to say that Kudlow thinks every major social problem can be solved by cutting tax rates on corporations and the rich. He’s also an ardent free trader, a point of sharp contrast with the president, whose protectionist tendencies helped spur Cohn to leave.”*
