What makes you think the elites aren’t pushing back? Because they aren’t being public about it? “If it’s not on the internet it didn’t happen”? I know for a fact the CEO of my Fortune 100 company has talked with the administration to share their views on the potential impact. No press release, no public statement. Just a visit to the White House. If anything, I’d suggest the public silence indicates the lites are either on board or feel their concerns will be addressed.

Trying to get favors for own company or industry is not the same as fighting the administration. That is just dping what Trump loves when you do.

  > Trying to get favors for own company or industry is not the same as fighting the administration. Why would a company "fight the administration"? That sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy.

    Take it to the person who claimed their CEO is doing that fight. My argument was that their CEO is not fighting anything. > Why would a company "fight the administration"? That sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy. Just for the record, I agree that this administration is abusing power right and left. And also that it reflects very badly on those who support it or defend it.

      I think you’re all over the place and unfocused on the matter at hand. The original comment was that CEOs are pushing back. It’s just not done in the public sphere. At least at my company, the CEO is satisfied the administration understands their concerns.

        Yeah, and my comment is that they are not pushing back. CEO are trying to get favors for themselves from easy to corrupt administration. That is not pushing back. That is playing along while wanting credit for silent push back that never happened.

        For having zero knowledge of the interaction, you seem rather confident of how it went down.
