From the end of this morning’s WP article on Trump’s economic plans everybody’s mad about.
1) Nobody — not even powerful rich CEOs — contradict Trump to his face because they’re afraid of being yelled at.
2) Their strategy is hoping they can survive this until he leaves.

You can literally just tell him to go fuck yourself if you are rich. Let him attack your interests and then support the rule of law.
Why is this so hard for the wealthy?
IMO: They agree with him deep down.
You know, at your school.
York Times…
This is much bigger than just Trump - he's just the tip of the iceberg...
This is not COWARDICE. This is AVARICE.
When the "fear" is merely concern that doing the right thing will result in loss of privilege, position, prominence, power and profit, the motivation is AVARICE.
That's an awful lot of damage that will accumulate OVER 4 YEARS possibly & geopolitically, a weakened America with NO allies will lose its supremacy! 💙💛🔥🙄😳
2) They are unreasonably optimistic about both elections and his plans ever to leave the White House.
The Traitor and his pet criticized him for not wearing a suit, but really they were just angry that he was in fact wearing balls, something they can't relate to.
Grandpa is sundowning every night, but it’s described as his mercurial nature.
Aren't any of these fucking men married??? Getting yelled at by an old, pathetic, obese liar SHOULD pale in comparison to the shit they get at home when they fuck up
Reality? We don't need no stinkin' reality.
He didn’t want to leave the first time and organized a violent attack to try to stay. There can’t be any doubt that he wants to stay this time.
It is time to escalate peacefully it numbers that cannot be ignored.
Is well rooted in history.
You're gaslighting yourself.
Holy. Crap.
We are NOT forgiving these cowardly self centered rich invertebrates.
What a bunch of craven nimrods.
I am hoping/praying/inhaling plenty of copium that once he punches his ticket to hell, the MAGA movement will fall apart because Dear Leader will be gone and because Vance has all the charisma of week old mackerel.
Send some Aunts in there.
These guys have obviously never chaperoned a field trip to the zoo.
“I’m rich, I’ll be fine. I just need to placate him for 3.75 more years
If you don’t have a MegaYacht… sucks to be you”
so so so so so poor
Also, we voted for him, but we won't remind Americans about that right now.
Until he drops dead, we'll just suck our thumbs & hold on to our blankies ...
These CEOs should be severely slapped.
And when faced with a real test of leadership, they all failed, miserably.
Jail them
How’s that working out?
If we do have an election, whoever opposes him better be protected at all times with guards, vests, and possibly bubble wrap.
This Administration will use the full weight of the government to punish his foes.
What in a coffin, or after Vance decides he'd rather be dictator and uses the 25th Amendment?
“It’s a *Good* Life” by Jerome Bixby as an operating manual.
Is this why it's always women past a certain age who call his bluff? We raised actual toddlers and teens and don't give a F?
Imagine the power you'd have if you all went on TV together, denounced him, reminded the US that Trump was a convicted felon & adjudicated rapist who freed that Jan 6 hostages.
When in our evolution did American business leaders and politicians lose their spine? Easier to bend over… kiss the Trump ring?
Not unless he's carried out of the White House feet first, and even then we'd probably end up with someboy even worse. It *is* possible, because as we know there is no bottom with MAGA Nation.
