IMO I wouldn't have gone simply because it's not the task of a company to hand hold POTUS. If Trump and company can't wrap their heads around how international trade works (especially for the likes of Apple) then they won't get it when Tim Cook or Jeff Bezos diagrams it out for them on a whiteboard either. The whole meeting between Trump and the CEOs in question was meant to give legitimacy to his opinions and not to the office which he's to occupy. Essentially, it's a big political hand job. And frankly, giving Trump more ego boosting appeasement is the last thing that needs to happen. He needs to know that POTUS cannot and will not supersede the rights of citizens, their ventures in the market place, and that of their homes. If that takes a few public feuds between him, some senators, and maybe a CEO or two then I think it should happen. Because he's the kind of guy that can't deal with rejection and ridicule. He needs to be stung by the brambles of the real world. A little pain goes a long way to teach him his limits.
