RE: The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

Quote:According to a recent survey from the Yale School of Management, shared with Axios, “in private, the leaders of some of the country’s best-known companies say that a number of White House policies have been bad for their businesses — and possibly illegal.”
Think about that. CEOs, the ones who usually play nice with Republicans, are whispering about how these policies are hurting them. And yet the Axios article says, “in public, business leaders are keeping relatively quiet, fearing retribution from President Trump.” Translation: the so-called “pro-business president” has corporate America too scared to say what they really think.
[...]
Seventy-one percent of CEOs surveyed in the Yale study said tariffs were directly harmful to their business. And 74 percent agreed with the courts that Trump’s tariffs were flat-out illegal as executed.
Then there’s the Federal Reserve. Eight out of 10 executives said Trump was not acting in the country’s best interest by pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to slash rates. On health care, 76 percent of them think policies under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are putting public health at risk. And let’s not forget the new $100,000 fee slapped on H-1B visas, making it harder for tech companies to hire global talent.

Besties In Bronze
Quote:A statue showing President Donald Trump holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein appeared Tuesday near the National Mall, drawing immediate attention from visitors and setting off a storm of reactions online.
The bronze-colored figures, placed just steps from the White House, depict Trump and the late financier smiling and frolicking as if caught in a playful moment. At the base of the installation, a plaque declares: "In Honor of Friendship Month, which falls in September. We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend,' Jeffrey Epstein."

Using government as a shakedown tool ... how much more blatant can the graft get? "Nice network you got there ... be a shame if something bad happened to it."

There is. It's when money realizes it's not a good deal to mollify the toddler in chief.
