President Trump has announced the nomination of Jamieson Greer to be the United States Trade Representative (USTR). Jamieson Greer was the Chief of Staff to former USTR Robert Lighthizer.
In a previous nomination of Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary, President Trump noted Lutnick would have responsibility overseeing the office of the USTR. Apparently Lutnick and Greer will be working closely together. Great news.

Greer is likely to be facing China first and most directly, as President Trump economically faces the EU and NATO over the Ukraine issues.
The second announcement on the economic team does not need confirmation. President Trump announces the return of ¹happy warrior Kevin Hassett as Director of the White House National Economic Council (NEC). This is awesome news, and Hassett is a great communicator.

¹NOTE: I’ll make Hassett a wolverine again, but he’s really a Quokka.
Great to see Hassett back! I really liked him. Lighthizer was excellent, so I trust that his chief of staff will be a strong pick.
Funny, I must be remembering wrong that Hassett went after Trump after his presidency?
His smile even looks like Lighthizers, and there’s definitely a twinkle in there! YES!
A Quokka? Lmao, I love it!
I wish I could be as happy as a warrior as Kevin. He smiles and is kind while totally eveisrating you. He’s a gem.
Give the all encouragement ,even the very young ,you will be surprised what encouragement will do for a young mind. When i was a young lad ,my grandparents lived on a farm a little piece up the road. One day my brother and I were down coursing around with them.My Grandad had got a delivery from REA Railway express Agency. I got the box cut me some wings,got upon the well house.Then said to grandad,i think i can fly.He said to me ,well Lad don’t get in the TVA power lines and stay around the area were Me and your Grandmother can watch out for you.that has stayed with me for my entire life.
Thank You, Larry. Yes, go ahead and try…you never know and hey, we can fly now! Just need a little jet fuel.
I not the man I used to be,but i got here to 82 because of folks like that Old Man.Thanks
Isn’t it funny how our perspective changes as we age … I cherish the wisdom my grandparents gave me (true treasure), and the sacrifices my mom gave me.
More winnimens please. I’m feeling better already.
How about Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as the new Director of the NIH? That is a GREAT move and I love the idea of him working with RFK Jr to expose every single file and every single payoff relating to the 40 year reign of Dr. Anthony Fauci!!
I don’t know these guys! I just read up on the quokka, and now I’m going to search for some interviews with these highly esteemed nominees.
I like what I hear (and am looking forward to some great “communication” in my research. )
Most of these chosen are so dead on for their tasks, It makes me wonder what game is being played with the few nominees that are so so so offensively wrong.
Your search would be most effective beginning right here at CTH!
Search Bar is our friend!
Wow, Hassett is exceptionally smiley. I guess he can be a wolverine on the inside, hes not a spaghetti spined squish, but quokka on the outside is right. Almost cuddly.
Smiling is baring one’s teeth, in a technical sense. 😬😉
It’s easy to see that he’s taking Li’l Marco off the playing field, which is delicious to me, and I expect our Lion will use him as an unwitting mole to foil Mitch the Turtle.
Great picks! Since trade is one of the cornerstones of PDT economic agenda, these guts are solid. Can’t wait to see how PDT totally trashes other areas like the NSC. That cesspool should have about 6-8 people on it total
Go get em my President!
I really like Hassett. 🤗
A Quokka, eh?
Expecting great things.
So much better than one of these, wherever they may be in the sewer that is DC…but particularly the soon to be evicted one squatting in our White House.
Wonderful. Just was hoping to see Lighthizer in the mix directly, but maybe he’s stepping aside to give the younger fella a go.
Looking forward to this year’s installment of My Little Friends! So glad to see that our happy Quokka is going to be among them!

PS We love Kevin ‘Quokka’ Hasset

Really like both picks. Each brings back the economic/trade mindset from the first term.
Why couldn’t we have robert lighthizer back ? Why can’t we have Navarro back ? Because a kangaroo court put him in jail ?
lighthizer was the genuine article who had been fighting this fight for 20years prior 2016? Navarro was a LOYAL Wolverine .
hassett looks good on TV as an “oh shucks “ country bumpkin but he’s been with McCain , dubya and Romney .
these guys ain’t Lighthizer and Navarro by a mile
Maybe they declined.
And who’s to say Lighthizer and Navarro are not in the background?
There are only so many front ‘persons’ that President Trump can appoint.
Hoping Lighthizer and Navarro are indeed involved at some level, even if they’re never to be in the news during said involvement.
For what it’s worth, Lighthizer is a CFR member…Council on Foreign Relations. Maybe a loose string??
Hey, at least they’re White. I don’t care one way or the other, but some CTH detractors seem to care quite a lot.
Lighthizer is in his late 70’s & suspect he might be advising in the background.
Winnamins, and the team is just getting started. The ground under the enemy is shifting, many are already running. Others covering their tracks, quietly planning to retire.
There are those strong enemies, however, who are silently yet still scheming. The sunlight of Truth, however, is a very very bright light, and the enlightened eyes of We the people are more and more aware of what to look for.
Wonderful baby!
👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hassett is a happy warrior. Great for the economy.
OK that that takes care of replacing Lighthizer and Kudlow.
But I do hope we will see Lighthizer again in some capacity.
Has his name been mentioned?
MAGA Economic Team 2.0 with younger front faces. Clearly PDJT has been making great efforts to select very capable young MAGA leaders in this administration – demonstration of strength of MAGA for sustainable development and hope for future leadership from his strategic vision.
While MAGA Economic Team 1.0, perhaps, ready to support Team 2.0 any time when needed.
Gog bless America. In God we trust.
Why isn’t Lighthizer coming back?
The USTR comes from the same law firm that produced Chris Wray, Sally Yates, Rod Rosenstein, etc.
Kevin is adorable, and whip smart! He can take the mostcomplicated issue and explain it in layman’s terms. Always on Kudlow’s Business News shows.
This is GREAT! I love GOOD News! Thanks be to God!
👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yaay! Trade and economics are the areas in which we will win bigly.
I’m very excited for 2 of my grandbabies graduating high school next summer. There will be good jobs and trades to choose from by then.
Wonder why Lighthizer did not return?
Maybe he turned it down,guess we will never know how many turned down a position.Its a big deal for someone from 2,000 miles from Washington like Kari lake,i’m sure family would have a say so.
Great news!💃💃💃
Quokka…. I love it!
oh I just love Mr Hassett … that beautiful smile, the happy warrior. He’ll be great
Thank you Sundance for all your constant work on our behalf. BTW, I had no idea what a Quokka is, I had to look it up. Cute little things.
😉 Such a fun read
