CEOs to Trump: You're failing

Source: CNN

by Matt Egan @mattmegan5 June 15, 2017: 8:38 AM ET
President Trump loved to brag during the campaign about his business skills. Now that he's in charge, business leaders seem alarmed by Trump's political skills.




A stunning 50% of the CEOs, business execs, government officials and academics surveyed at the annual Yale CEO Summit give Trump an "F" for his first 130 days in office.

The survey, released earlier this week, found that another 21% give Trump's performance a "D" so far. Just 1% of the 125 leaders polled awarded the billionaire an "A."


The overarching message from CEOs is: "Stop the random 3 a.m. tweets and stop the needless brushfires diverting from the agenda," said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, the Yale School of Management professor who led the summit.

Sonnenfeld noted that 80% of those surveyed are CEOs, including Blackstone (BX) CEO Steve Schwarzman and IBM (IBM, Tech30) boss Ginni Rometty, who sit on Trump's advisory council and Merck (MRK) CEO Ken Frazier, a member of the president's manufacturing initiative. (Individual responses by each CEO were not released.)

Screwing up and that isn't going to stop now. Businesses and people that owned businesses that voted for him just screwed themselves.

The "agenda" they want him to stick to I assume is the tax reform that will make them richer.

The hell with his buffoonery and tweets---what matters is climate change, our loss of civil liberties, and his un-American demonization of minorities and Islam. What's deeply incompetent about him is the destruction of our institutions---did any of them care about that?
