Sure, Larry Kudlow has always been a tool. So it made perfect sense for him to throw away any shred of integrity in his long-held free trade worldview to join with the shallow, ignorant and inane lunatics on Trump’s trade, economic and foreign policy teams (Navarro, Ross, Bolton).
Today, Kudlow joined the ranks of Trump’s “Reputation Officially Trashed” (ROT) team.
Kudlow’s embarrassing performance would be par for the course from the likes of Navarro (who had his own moment in the sun today), Ross or Bolton. But for a guy who has long cultivated an image and reputation of being a (somewhat) level-headed free trader, it was fascinating to watch Kudlow throw all of his “reasonable” branding away in one fell swoop.
Kudlow is about to experience the full brunt of the Donald Trump ExperienceTM:
“Everything I touch turns to shit.”
— President Donald J. Trump
Congratulations, Larry. Rex Tillerson sends his regards along with an invite to the weekly Thursday night ROT Club meeting at the Metropolitan Club New York.
