Harry McCrackenAt what point does it become untenable for the CEOs who have congratulated Trump and otherwise engaged with him respectfully to continue treating him like a normal president? What line would he have to cross? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/30/kash-patel-fbi-director-nominee-trump/
Ernie Smith@harrymccracken Feel like it’s going to be a lot deeper than we expected.
jgeorge@harrymccracken I believe at this point there’s no longer a line that can be crossed.
Jeff Zugale - Z Factory@harrymccracken never. As long as he’s helping them make money for the shareholders, they simply don’t care what he does.
Until he turns on them. Which he most certainly will. By then it probably won’t matter.
Real bad idea to look to CEOs for moral leadership and resistance.
@jeffzugale I was thinking not only about ethical issues, but the possibility their behavior might lead customers to avoid giving them money.
Simon ZerafaIt's all about shareholder value.
As long as the shareholders dont care, the C-level won't either.
@simonzerafa @jeffzugale Shareholders may care if people start perceiving these companies as enemies and avoiding doing business with them.
Sure they may care. Anything is possible.
When profits fall and their investments are at risk they may care.
Kent Smith@harrymccracken @simonzerafa I think the only issue with that is that most all of them have already bent the knee in some way. If you want to protest a company because the CEO isn't outwardly fighting MAGA you are going to have a really limited set of options to take your business too.
I certainly hope I'm wrong.
@harrymccracken if that happens, it might make a difference? I guess we’ll find out.
Will Clark@harrymccracken they are taking the nation to a chop shop and those ceos want to buy the parts. They are never going to push back, this is 100% what they want.

Three things #tffg knows nothing about
Joe Pasqua@harrymccracken sorry about the pun, but the only line they would care about is the bottom line. They would react only if he makes it harder for them to create/preserve wealth/power.

@harrymccracken When Trump demands 25% of their income be donated to him.
kflanagan@harrymccracken I believe that ship has sailed, with no passengers.
