It was Goldman Sachs that Trump singled out when he railed against a system rigged in favor of the global elite - one that 'robbed our working class, stripped our country of wealth, and put money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.' Cohn, as president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs, had been at the heart of it all. Trump proclaimed that Hillary Clinton was in the firm's pockets, as was Ted Cruz. Goldman Sachs had been a favorite cudgel for candidate Trump - the symbol of a government that favors Wall Street over its citizenry.

Within two weeks, the transition team announced that Cohn would take over as director of the president's National Economic Council. Was a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan likely to increase the deficit by a trillion dollars? Confronted by nodding heads, an unhappy president-elect said, 'Why did I have to wait to have this guy tell me?' The way the moment was captured by the New York Times, among other publications, Trump was dumbfounded.

Cohn, brash and bold, wired to attack any moneymaking opportunity, pitched a fix that would put Wall Street firms at the center: Private-industry partners could help infrastructure get fixed, saving the federal government from going deeper into debt. Yet the president-elect had apparently failed to appreciate that the government would need to come up with hundreds of billions of dollars to fund his plans. On the campaign trail, Trump had spoken often about the importance of investing in infrastructure. But, like the man he was there to meet, he was at heart a salesman. Cohn was there to offer his views about jobs and the economy. It was the end of November, three weeks after Trump's improbable victory, and Cohn, then still the president of Goldman Sachs, was at Trump Tower presumably at the invitation of Kushner, with whom he was friendly. So were Reince Priebus, Jared Kushner, and Trump's pick for secretary of Treasury, Steve Mnuchin. Steve Bannon was in the room the day Donald Trump first fell for Gary Cohn.
