There has been a mini “red wave” building lately, consisting of Business CEOs becoming Trump-curious. Most motivated by the prospect of his signature Tax Cuts Bill finally sun-setting next year. But after spending some time listening the Fake Billionaire do his rambling rally-style spiel, many of them are now Trump-confounded ...
CEOs at Trump meeting: Ex-president ‘meandering’ and ‘doesn’t know what he’s talking about’

“Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room, according to a person who heard the executive speaking. The CEO also said Trump did not explain how he planned to accomplish any of his policy proposals, that person said.
Several CEOs “said that [Trump] was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map,” CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin reported Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

The same CEOs who were struck by Trump’s lack of focus “walked into the meeting being Trump supporter-ish or thinking that they might be leaning that direction,” Sorkin reported.
“These were people who I think might have been actually predisposed to [Trump but] actually walked out of the room less predisposed” to him, Sorkin said.

So in summary, America’s influential CEOs assess Trump’s business sense/nonsense:
“Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
“Trump was remarkably meandering.”
“Trump could not keep a straight thought.”
“Trump was all over the map.”
“Trump could not explain how he would accomplish his policy proposals.”
Welcome to the “protect democracy” club, Corporate Execs. We’ve been waiting for you.
We can’t imagine this Loon being in charge of the most powerful Military either.
Maybe Joe Biden isn’t that bad afterall, eh?
Remember: Taxes are the price we ALL pay for civilization.
If we want nice stuff — like a functioning democratic society — then we all have to step up and pay our fair share. The alternative is sheer lunacy and chaos.

PS. Those CEO ‘hot-takes’ just might make for some decent Campaign fodder too, if I don’t miss my guess. Just thinking outside the box here.
Their stunned assessments are hardly a “ringing endorsement” for Trump’s alleged ‘greatest strength’. Who knew.
