FEAR, my first book on Trump published in 2018, showed Trump’s obsession with tariffs and how his top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, a former president of Goldman Sachs repeatedly tried to prevent Trump and Navarro from tanking the U.S. economy. 
Cohn removed a 2017 draft letter to the South Korean president from the Resolute Desk to prevent Trump from withdrawing from a trade agreement (p. xix, FEAR)
Cohn: “People don’t want to stand in front of a 2,000 degree blast furnace.”
On NAFTA (p. 274, FEAR)
Cohn: “You don’t do 50/50s with the US economy” (p. 274, FEAR)
