Your last sentence is indicative of what is one of the flaws of all Presidents:they want advisers who agree with them.That's natural, it isn't an easy job and it's a lot easier if people are agreeing with you.But as my 5th grade teacher, Sister Bernard Francis used to tell us, easier is never better.I would think that the job of advisers would be to try and present different points of view and maybe move the Presidential needle a little bit.
Kudlow's a pretty smart guy but his positions on economics and trade have been virtually unchanged over the years.How long he lasts is up to Trump.
