    Absolutely agreed. I think when you have such role in a company you should avoid making political statements at all, because no matter what you say you will end up upsetting some people. In this case, “try-hard” democrats.

      Well, it’s worth leveraging your status to communicate to the politicians (i.e. this tweet). In this case, it cost him more than I think he was expecting.

        lol that is done with money, not social media posts. A CEO should know that.

          why would he want to donate to trump? Public praise is worth more in many instances.

            I’m of the opinion he should’ve shut the fuck up or said better words, so I don’t have any interest in trying to answer that for you.

              Yeah he should’ve said what he said more tactfully. But sometimes one’s most controversial comments are ones that one wouldn’t have thought would get a lot of attention at all.
