Kevin Hassett, President Donald Trump’s chief economist, has managed the impossible — working for the President for two years without becoming a target of his ire.
Trump wished his adviser adieu in a glowing tweet from the UK on Sunday, calling Hassett a “true friend.”
Kevin Hassett, who has done such a great job for me and the Administration, will be leaving shortly. His very talented replacement will be named as soon as I get back to the U.S. I want to thank Kevin for all he has done – he is a true friend!

Per Politico, Hassett was confirmed in September of 2017 and has constantly heralded Trump’s policies.
Hassett had a moment in the headlines back during the government shutdown when he declared that furloughed government workers were actually “better off.”
He IS leaving.
So, um, just curious, but what did Hassett do while he was there, except lick Spankee’s butt?
I can’t really remember hearing anything about this dude, but perhaps he’s just not been so page-1-ish.
Hassett always appeared to be jacked up on some powerful drug with that ever-grinning face promoting Trump’s delusional policies.
“will be leaving shortly”
Also June 14th? Then Trump might send a package of nominations to the Senate, all confirmed in 2 hours, according to the new rule.
I am skeptical that Donald Trump has ever had a friend one day in his life. I think friendship, as you and I understand it, is one more of those fundamental life-skill concepts that totally eludes him. Sick mind (or bad)!
