Maybe they should have listened to the nonsense he was spewing on the campaign trail every night.

MODERATORS
They were too busy signing checks to his campaign to get him elected.
"He was just being hyperbolic." they told themselves.
Nope, turns out he was "saying it like it is" about what he was going to do and the "I don't care about you" was the truth.
Like someone said they thought he was only going to lower taxes.
This is what you paid for, now shut up and eat your shit sandwich.
How could he do the thing he said he was gonna do? who could have possibly seen this coming?
They aren’t promoting their best people.
No 4d chess needed, this is their best.
This is what the corporate world voted for. You expected massive tax cuts, no regulations and free labor. Instead the republicans are going to bankrupt your business, investments, savings and social safety net. You knew he was crazy when you supported him. You deserve this pain.
Yeah you can see this by the stock market bump from his election to his inauguration that investors largely believed it would be a good thing, and then he actually became president and started doing stuff and it immediately went back to normal, and now he's just destroying the entire economy doing shit he said he was going to do and business people are all surprised Pikachu about it. No sympathy for them. The only people in America who deserve any sympathy are the ~1/3 of the American people who did literally anything to try to prevent this. Fuck the 1/3 who voted for Trump and fuck the 1/3 that became politically disengaged enough to not do anything even more. This is a corrupt and vile country and we deserve everything we're getting.
Didn't they want this? Haven't they been trying to install a fascist dictatorship for literal decades? Did they forget that fascism is bad and nobody likes it?
The WW2 generation died and immediately everyone is like, "Hey, why didn't we like fascism again?"
Dear CEOs: devour feculence.
Nah, they can just eat shit.
cant eat what you already are.
Oh no did your stupid business degree not prepare you for the real world?
Not alot feels real these days man
Trump has been nothing other than exactly who he has portrayed himself as during the entirety of his political career.
It's why I don't buy the "we were fooled" narrative. If you were fooled, you are either catastrophically stupid or you just don't pay attention. Probably both.
He has spent an entire campaign talking very proudly about all the stupid shit he was going to do. If you somehow thought he was still playing an elaborate strategy, l don't even know where to start with you.
Would somebody think of the poor CEOs. From my perspective, they're all doubling down on Trump's bullshit as is...
Part of me wants it all to burn to the fucking ground. Maybe something better comes out of the ashes.
Failed states rarely recover.
Won't the failed states mostly be red?
In this context states mean countries or nations.
History tells us this ends badly.
Not with a population that in big parts likes how it is now.
It only works if there is a coherent wish amongst the people. Like more bread or whatnot.
The article is not offering any real examples, except for one CEO's reaction to their stock drop in real-time during an investor's call.
Now don't get me wrong. I really want this to be happening for real. It's just that I would like to see more actual examples and less descriptions of hypothetical "CEOs with thousand-yard stares".
I think in general ceo's try to limit their exposure to the public, makes it easier to control situations. Elon found out what happens when you don't. So I'm not surprised by this. I 100% believe there's tons of them who are shitting their pants right now. As they should. This is almost making ME want to cry, seeing the future look more and more like, idk, death stranding world
I could've sworn that headline was satire.
Wow they must really be struggling... give me a fucking break
