Trump: Gary Cohn Will Be Criticized by the Media Because He’s Getting Paid $197K

TRUMP: “I just want to thank all of my staff, they’ve been amazing. Gary, as you all know, you all know Gary from Goldman, Gary Cohn, and we’re really happy. Just paid $200 million in taxes in order to take this job, by the way. (Laughter) Which is very much unlike Gary, but he's great. He’ll be criticized by the media because he’s getting paid $197,000. I’ll say he really wanted that money, which he gave up. I think he gave up. Did you give that up, Gary? I think so, yeah. It was one of those things. But that's right. I want to thank, Wilbur has been fantastic. I’ve known Wilbur for so long and he is a great guy, great negotiator, but a very fair negotiator and he’s going to be doing things — the deals we have with other countries are unbelievably bad.”
