Why are corporate CEOs cozying up to Trump? Yes, the tax cuts — but it's not just that. Biden is reviving anti-trust in a massive way, with lawsuits against Amazon, Apple, Ticketmaster, and many more. Corporate execs are terrified of their monopolies being broken up.

Plus Biden is probably the most pro-union president in the past 50 years.

What will it take for the Biden people to put on Econ 101 to show what happens to prices when you break up monopolies and oligopolies? It's an inflation eraser.

I also cannot emphasise enough that most CEOs are petty little creeps who enjoy tormenting those they consider lesser & generally being above the law, it's not some deep economic theory, they just want the Trump consequence-free lifestyle & they'll fuck their businesses to achieve that.

The bus will eventually be driven over them and their wealth taken if Trump becomes an autocratic dictator, as it was in the 1930s during the rise of Hitler and Mussolini.

It’s a doubled edged sword supporting him. In his state, one feeling of being slighted, you get an orange pot dictator calling for a head.

Stuff that Biden does within six months of reelection when he's behind in the election* is not particularly indicative of how he'll govern if he's reelected. * polls/Electoral College

I give a lot of credit to Garland, as it's the DOJ that filed 25 antitrust suits in 2023 alone.

They also do not care about whether a President is unhinged and dangerous - unless it affects their ability to make $.
