Goldman told to hire new economist
https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/12/economy/trump-goldman-sachs
Fascinating read as someone who works for an American HF, albeit outside of the US? Curious what those in the US think of this.

Personally, the same as anyone outside the US. Trump has no idea what he’s talking about, and will say whatever he wants whenever he wants about whomever he wants, since it’s worked for him so far.
It's a nothing burger. Trump wants Goldman to sack its senior economist because the senior economist said something mean about Trump. He's got such a weak sense of self to lash out constantly at any criticism.
