He has accepted the position.

Conservative commentator and former Reagan administration official Larry Kudlow has accepted the job of White House National Economic Council director, replacing Gary Cohn, Fox News has learned.

President Trump offered Kudlow the job just one week after Cohn resigned from his post as the president’s chief economic adviser, a senior administration official told Fox News.

Kudlow’s extensive career in finance includes stints working for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and serving as a chief economist and senior managing director at Bear Stearns, the defunct investment bank that failed during the 2008 financial crisis.

Kudlow served as the associate director for economics and
planning in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during former President Ronald Reagan’s first term.

Conservatives are very pleased with this choice, and #NeverTrumpers hate it, so it must be a pretty good pick.

Larry Kudlow would be a great choice to be director of the White House National Economic Council. Larry is a pro-growth champion and will serve the President well. I hope the reports are true!

Why is Trump even bothering with Larry Kudlow …
He’s ultimately going to end up with Scott Baio , Kid Rock, Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent running the Country Just do it now and pull off the bandage !

Larry Kudlow is NOT an economist.

He has been divorced 3 times – those are his qualifications.

Only a president who views everything through the lens of TV could think Larry Kudlow was suitable to be National Economic Advisor. Because he's not an economist in any sense of the word, he just plays one on television. Fake experts for fake advisory roles. Trumptopia.

Putting Larry Kudlow in charge of economic policy is the rough equivalent of putting Tucker Carlson in charge of Iraq. We're so boned.

If it were between Larry Kudlow & Bozo the Clown
we'd go with Bozo.
Both are clowns but Kudlow doesn't believe in climate change
& maybe Bozo does
Kudlow isn't even fit to blow up balloons at a pre-schooler birthday party
let alone top economic adviser to the US
