Top Business Leaders Have Given Up On Trump
The executive told me: "Everyone knew, going in, that this was the way the guy was. They were just hoping that if he got the right people and decisionmaking processes in place, he could grow into the job. He proved he has no capability to do that." Yesterday's presser about Charlottesville was the last straw.
Why it matters … Axios CEO Jim VandeHei just told Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC: "Today is an awful day for the presidency – an awful day. … He did have those business leaders, who he needs: He's about to do tax reform! He's about to ask them to spend money, to spend political capital, to spend time to go get tax reform done."
- "Now he has a massive public rebuke, in a way that we have not seen at any point in the Trump reign. So there's no way for them to spin it. And I think it gets worse: These CEOs are under so much pressure – internally, at home – in their own households."

I guess he didn't make enough good deals.
He ran as being a good businessman and deal maker, when the simple truth is that he has constantly gone bankrupt time after time and has made shitty deals, except with Russian Oligarchs. Where does he get the reputation of being such a great deal maker? He pulls it right out of his ass.
Let trump be trump !!
No one else can stop trump better !!
If at all.
