There are no Fortune 500 CEOs who are supporting Trump. The Trump economic package frightens them.





Just the text from the tweet, minus the video:

Biden-Harris HQ
@BidenHQ
Chief Executive Leadership Institute CEO Jeffrey Sonnenfeld: There are no Fortune 500 CEOs who are supporting Trump. That is a historic break. The Trump economic package frightens them. It's extremely inflationary. It'll lead to an increase in inflation and plunge the GDP. They'll be Biden voters. They don't want the fabric of society pulled apart

Most "billionaire's" what are part of the Fortune 500?

Billionaire's children?
Billionaire's wives?
Billionaire's mansions?
Billionaire's employees?

What are your referring to as belonging to the billionaires?

Trumps approach to governing would muddy everyone’s waters, including CEOs.

the past.





Of course, Trump had called Musk a bullshit artist before that, and Musk had said it was time for Trump to sail off into the sunset.

but the tax cuts that ballooned the national debt are set to expire soon and they want their own tax cuts to continue. They just don't want the parts that venefited people with children or anyone else, for that matter, to continue.

So they might want to support the more sensible Biden plan, but.....

I'd never suggest that Biden is "for sale" like Chump obviously is. But I'm sure he's willing to listen to proposals.
Nothing wrong with that.

They might be hoping for sweetheart deals from Congress rather than another sweeping, budget destroying cut from TFG.

Those sweetheart deals worked out really well for them from the Reagan years on and made sure none of us never got a break.
