Trump on Gary Cohn: He May Be a Globalist But I Still Like Him
Source: The Daily Beast
During Gary Cohns final cabinet meeting Thursday morning, President Trump called his outgoing economic advisor a globalista term that has largely been used by the far-right as a xenophobic or anti-semitic slur. [Cohn]s been terrific. He may be a globalist, but I still like him, the president joked during the meeting. He is seriously a globalist, theres no question. But you know what, in his own way hes a nationalist because he loves our country. The term globalist was never widely used in mainstream politics until the Trump era, in which the word has repeatedly been used by Steve Bannon and far-right outlets like Breitbart or InfoWars as a slur against various people, including Cohn and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.

To only sell to other Americans as well? While the rest of the world benefits from trade with each other to diversify and enrich themselves with choices and competition?
