Trump had mentioned Cohn in July for the job. Although several sources said Cohn had always planned to stay in his post for at least a year, another source close to the White House said Trump wanted to fire him. Despite being ousted from the White House, Bannon remains loyal to the Trump project and told CBS: “If you are going to break with [Trump], you should resign,” Bannon said. That if you don’t like what he’s doing and you don’t agree with it, you have an obligation to resign.”A White House official said Cohn was focused on his job, especially tax reform. Cohn said in a CNBC interview last week he had a “great relationship” with Trump and the two were working well together.
