This is silly, even if you ignore the nepotism and politics. First off, Trump doesn't have the authority to appoint the board of a private company. Second, PMF is not the job of board members - it is the job of the product team.

This is to some as yet unknown degree policy agreed upon within the Republican Party, which controls all branches of government. And companies appear quite willing to acquiesce to the new normal.
