The corporations thought they own the government. They bought Trump into the White House. They should have known that he is mad.
Nope they should have realised that even though they “own” this government, the president is communicating with a foreign server they don’t own.
The owners of the corporations own the govt. They are loyal to no company and no country. They can take their money anywhere, but so long as they are in the us they would prefer that the tax burden be shifted onto the people and off of them, with as few restrictions as possible on their own behavior.
The owners are still quite happy with trump. It’s all of the littler con voters who are hopefully now reconsidering their vote.
The corporate sponsors are only needed for elections. No elections, no sponsors…
