Trump says business executives should be 'fired for incompetence' if they don't support him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that business executives and shareholder representatives should "be 100% behind" him or face termination.

“Business Executives and Shareholder Representatives should be 100% behind Donald Trump! Anybody that’s not should be FIRED for incompetence!," the former president wrote in a post on his social media website, Truth Social.

His post referred to an article from The Wall Street Journal on Monday comparing corporate tax rates between the Biden and Trump administrations. In another post, Trump quoted the article as saying, "Corporations won tax cuts during Trump’s first term, and they would benefit if he wins again."

A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
