It seems like he missed the message that nobody else can act like Trump,&#8221; commented an insider within the administration regarding Lutnick. &#8220;This just underscores his lack of understanding about how to perform this role effectively.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n The source indicated that Lutnick is &#8216;always trying to win Trump&#8217;s approval.&#8217;\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Informants likewise disclosed to the media organization that Lutnick&#8217;s recent TV appearances revealed his inadequate comprehension of economic functioning and the effects of tariffs on it.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Lutnick, who previously led Cantor Fitzgerald, presented an overly optimistic economic outlook as well.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n In March, during an appearance on Meet the Press, he stated that Americans should &#8216;definitely not&#8217; prepare for a recession.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1C5LQ3\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1C5LQ3.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1C5LQ4\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1C5LQ4.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Lutnick\u2019s interview was broadcast just prior to Trump, during a pre-recorded discussion with Fox Business\u2019 Maria Bartiromo, declined to dismiss the possibility of an economic downturn.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Trump has acknowledged that his tariffs could create some short term economic pain for consumers but argued the import taxes would help the U.S. in the longterm.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n &#8220;Tariffs aim to make America wealthy once more and to restore American greatness. This process has already begun and will accelerate swiftly,&#8221; Trump stated during his joint address to Congress in early March.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n There might be some minor disruption, but we\u2019re fine with that,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;It shouldn\u2019t be significant.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Insiders close to Trump might be more inclined to speak critically of Lutnick since his background in Wall Street does not align well with the group supporting tariffs.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Trump\u2019s long-standing trade advisor, Peter Navarro, along with U.S. Trade Representative James Greer, are seen as more steadfast and genuine proponents of their beliefs.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n &#8220;Each member of the Trump administration agrees on finally evening out the playing field for American businesses and laborers,&#8221; stated Kush Desai, a White House spokesperson, to SANGGRALOKA on Tuesday afternoon.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n The White House was queried about whether Trump still maintained faith in Lutnick.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1C5SkP\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1C5SkP.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n &#8216;President Trump has assembled the best and brightest trade team in modern American history to reignite American Greatness, and they are hard at work following the same playbook,&#8217;\u00a0Desai added.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n It&#8217;s evident that Trump holds deep fondness for Lutnick.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n During his inauguration event in late February, Trump once again shared Lutnick&#8217;s September 11, 2001 narrative\u2014how Lutnick missed being in the North Tower as he had been escorting his son Kyle to school instead.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n &#8216;Trump quipped that you should let him have more than the other children.&#8217;\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Cantor Fitzgerald tragically lost 658 out of its 960 New York-based employees in the terrorist attacks, and Howard mourned the loss of his younger brother, Gary.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n At Lutnick&#8217;s swearing-in ceremony, Trump playfully chided him for his previous affiliation with the Democratic Party.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n In turn, Lutnick called Trump &#8216;the smartest, most thoughtful and most intuitive person I&#8217;ve ever met.&#8217;\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n &#8216;It&#8217;s truly incredible to be in this room and work for him,&#8217; stated the Commerce Secretary.\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PODCAST: Round three for Trump, Musk parts ways with DOGE \u2013 plus insight from the ex-Denmark ambassador on what\u2019s best for Greenland.
