Courtesy of CNBC:Democratic Sen. Tom Carper says White House economic adviser Gary Cohn faked a bad connection to get President Trump off the phone so they could have a conversation on tax reform without him https://t.co/qcUnSEsysl— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) November 22, 2017
Top White House economic advisor Gary Cohn pretended to have a bad connection to get off a call with President Donald Trump this month, a Democratic senator said Wednesday.
Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware told CNN that Cohn took the call from the president during a discussion with Democratic senators about tax reform. Carper said Cohn wanted to have a conversation on tax reform without Trump, who was traveling in Asia at the time.
"About 30 minutes into the call, Gary gets up and takes a call on his cellphone, comes back into the room, and says, we have somebody calling in from Asia, and it was the president, which was nice. Nice of him to do that," Carper said, according to a transcript shared by a CNN reporter. "15 minutes later, the president is still talking. And I said to Gary, it was a room where we're all sitting around this big table, and I said, Gary why don't you do this, just take the phone from, you know, your cellphone back and just say, 'Mr. President, you're brilliant! But we're losing contact, and I think we're going to lose you now, so good-bye.'"
"And that's what he did, and he hung up," Carper said.
A CNN anchor then asked if Cohn faked a bad connection to get off the phone with Trump.
"Well, I wouldn't — I don't want to throw him under the bus, but yes," the senator responded.
The White House of course denies that this is what happened.
Well of course they would.
According to Democratic Sen. Tom Carper, White House economic adviser Gary Cohn actually faked a bad connection to get Trump off the phone from Asia so they could continue their meeting more productively.

ReplyDeleteEver have someone on the phone that won't stop yammering? You switch from ear to ear, and finally beg out with an excuse when you can get a word in edgewise? Welcome to my daughter. :)
ReplyDeleteOH yeah, it happened.
Take it in the bathroom, flush the toilet and then say, sorry, but I have to hang up now.
Deletecats are a great excuse. everyone knows that they are the most destrotive force on the planet. "no, don't knock the glass over!! i gotta go!!". yes i know. i don't like the dictionary today.
Deleteso Gary Cohn wasn't interested in hearing how Trump won the popular vote or how ungrateful somebody's father is...?
ReplyDeleteToday we can all give thanks for the saner heads constraining the evildoing of the socalled president.
Don't forget the biggest crowds ever in inauguration history!
Deletedon't forget that he's you know, like, a smart person.
DeleteI bet a LOT of folks have done the exact same thing throughout the years w/Trump. Chatting w/him would be a hard thing to do since he talks about himself all the time. What an egomaniac!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't waste my time even taking his call.
brain dead moron egomaniac. he can't even put a sentence together he's so dumb. i really hope he does know what people think of him.maybe he'll have a stroke.
DeleteDonald The Ass. To the troops, 'We’re really winning'.

ReplyDeleteWord to the wise. Keep some cellophane or other crinkly material nearby. Then wad it up a bit while faking the bad connection. You don't even have to say goodbye. Just hang up.
