Another delusional "trickle down" enthusiast, I thought Trump was looking out for the working class?
 
Shouldn't this please you?

Don't care really. Trump showed with the tariffs that he's going to do what he wants regardless of what people tell him.

I'd be more nervous if he hadn't already appointed a Fed Chair.
 
From wiki -

Kudlow firmly denied that the United States would enter arecession in 2007, or that it was in the midst of a recession in early to mid-2008. In December 2007, he wrote: "The recession debate is over. It's not gonna happen. Time to move on. At a bare minimum, we are looking at Goldilocks 2.0. (And that's a minimum). The Bush boom is alive and well. It's finishing up its sixth splendid year with many more years to come".[22]In May 2008 he wrote: "President George W. Bush may turn out to be the top economic forecaster in the country" in his "'R' is for 'Right'".[23]He said that "I don't believe we're heading into a recession" in regards to the large Wall Street drop of August 4, 2011 and recent signs of weaknesses in the United States' GDP.[24]

This guy is all about telling Trump what he wants to hear. Just like that Trade Rep who said he takes what Trump's gut says and makes an analysis to then match it.
 
Of the two, will Larry or Jerome be more important and have more influence when the next correction/recession comes?

Trump will do what the party tells him to do in broad outlines, but you'd still rather he have an actual, competent economist advising on the specifics.
 
He's a television personality. He's like when the Lions hired Matt Millen because he sounded smart as an analyst.

Judge Jeannie for SCOTUS? Dr. Phil for Surgeon General?
 
In 1987 Kudlow was rehired by Bear Stearns as its chief economist and senior managing director. He was fired in 1994 after abuse of cocaine caused him to skip an important client presentation. Kudlow later admitted to a $10,000 a month cocaine habit.[18] Kudlow also served as an economic counsel to A. B. Laffer & Associates, the San Diego, California, company owned by Arthur Laffer, a major supply-sideeconomist and creator of the Laffer curve, an economic theory that relates the relationship between tax levels and government revenue.

Yeah, but the fucking guy is actually wrong about everything and given his predictions and opinions are out in the public it should be pretty easy to see he has no fucking clue.
