Gary Cohen may just have been the ideal person to transition US economic affairs from the globalist Bush and Obama administrations, to the America First policy. It would be hard to argue with the idea that he might have better understood Obama's economic policy, even better than Obama himself. And I can't imagine a smoother transition. But in interfacing the two economic concepts, Cohen's guidance was likely indispensable. At any rate Cohen is the consummate globalist and his split from the White House has been a foregone conclusion from the get-go from what I've heard.

Even with the tariffs in place though selectively enforced, I would expect somebody like a Stephen Moore to replace Cohen.
