Former General Motors chief financial officer, Chris Liddell, will stick around at the White House under the Trump administration as he’s appointed to Deputy Chief of Staff under Chief of Staff, John Kelly. Liddell was most recently Assistant to the President for Strategic Initiatives and a member of the Office of American Innovation.
The White House made Liddell’s appointment official on Monday days after he was considered for the chief economic advisor role. That position went to now-ex CNBC host, Larry Kudlow, who will replace Gary Cohn in the coming weeks.
“In his new role Chris will manage the policy process as we continue to enact the president’s agenda,” White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said.
Before his time in the White House with President Trump’s administration, Liddell was also CFO at Microsoft and International Paper.

As a hater of loud trumpettes, I have to concede and admit that after Kushner, Breitbart guy, The Mooch, “General” (Benedict Arnold) Flynn, Preet Bharara, Poosy Punchin’ Porter, perhaps the swamp is drained out at last? Liddell is his best pick by far. More like this, please.
I get it now…
Kudlow = Trump’s economic advisor
Liddell = CoS Gen. Kelly’s economic advisor
I wonder if Wolff will hang around the hallways to hear these two going at it?
It’s usually smarter to jump off the Titanic. Especially when in Russian waters.
Given how Trump likes to say.. ‘You’re fired’ Liddell could be VP near the end of the term or be gone in 6 months.
I am glad they say former.. As I would not buy a GM vehicle associated with Donny!
