      • A lot of Americans think when he talks about doing bad things, it’s all talks,
      • when he talks about making the economy better, it’s all in good faith,
      • all the “necessary evil” can be undone in the next election cycle,
      • and business controls the narrative, that would highly benefit under trump.

      Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.

        Honestly I’m not sure American businesses are very smart.

        I imagine corpos do want trump, but it seems as short sighted as going after quarterly profits ahead of all else.

        Ok, so you own a corporation and want those pesky “water break” regulations that are really cutting into your profits to go away. So you back trump. He tweets out “WORKERS DRINKING WATER ON THE CLOCK, SAD AND BIGLY BAD” and they decide that’s an official act and you can squeeze an extra 15 minutes out of your workers.

        Meanwhile, he puts a 20% tariff on all your inputs.

        I don’t support, but could at least understand, companies wanting this guy out of some rank greed. But he’s articulated positions that would be awful for most businesses. Every serious economist has looked at his tariff plan and gone “oh yea, that would destroy the economy”
