Lol! What exactly did these CEO's think was going to happen when they pumped millions of their corporate money into the presidential campaign of an individual whose primary motivation for running for POTUS a second time was to keep himself out of federal prison?
Did these CEO's not believe Drumpf's threats to rule as a dictator? Did they not believe he would appoint his criminal consorts, and frighteningly unqualified apparatchiks to high office and critical agencies? Did they not understand the intent behind his threats to start tariff wars with not only China, but our closest and most trusted trading partners too? Do they not comprehend the desire by Drumpf to do to American corporate CEO's that which his mentor Vladimir Putin has done to Russian CEO's? And can they not see the reality of what a consumer unfriendly, dictator-supporting corporate agenda will do to economically wreck the US economy, an economy that Joe Biden had rescued from Drumpf's previous ratfuckery and was nurturing back to health?
If there is any wonder where these CEO's and their loyalty will align themselves when the day arrives and Drumpf, hell-bent on revenge, begins his terror campaign of anti-constitutional orders and unlawful commands to his apparatchiks to begin the process of declaring martial law and clamping down on civil liberties and the defense of 1st amendment rights, there shouldn't be. Just go Google the history of how big business bent the knee to Hitler and the Nazi party in 1930's Germany. There's historical precedent for what we are on the cusp of witnessing occur in 21st century America.
And here's another pro-tip - there isn't a planet in our galaxy where these CEO's will be able to hide out and evade eventual accountability for their financially supporting an authoritarian dictator who would try to end the American experiment.
