Yes, you are a conspiracy buff. I take the news about Cohn the way it has been reported in the media. He lost out to other advisors on the subject of tariffs and so he felt his influence was diminished in the eyes of Trump. And thus, it was time to move on.

I agree with Trump that something should be done about the $800,000,000,000 trade imbalance, but instituting tariffs/taxes isn't the way to do it. Trade deals should be re-negotiated. Maybe his tough talk on tariffs is intended to get our trading partners to realize that he wants to level the playing field. If the EU puts a 25% tariff on cars imported from the USA, then we'll do the same to them.
