If Leading CEOs Aren't Donating to Trump, It's Because They Don't Need To

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Trump understands these dynamics perfectly well -- which is why, in spite of the putative vapors that members of the CEO class experience at the mention of MAGA policy preferences, he continues to pitch generous tax cuts and deregulatory windfalls to them.
37% : In a typically digressive and hard-to- follow speech, Trump received almost no applause -- leading Sonnenfeld once again to deduce a universe of false causation from CEO silence: "Chief executives are not protectionist, isolationist or xenophobic, and they believe in investing where there is the rule of law, not the law of rulers.
35% : Hence a big slice of the Biden campaign's former fundraising advantage over Trump got wiped out earlier this month with a single stroke of the pen, when Timothy Mellon, the billionaire grandson of Depression-era omni-villain Andrew Mellon, plowed a cool $50 million into a Trump dark-money PAC.
18% : That trend appears to be gaining greater traction in this cycle, with Trump drawing fresh notoriety from his recent criminal conviction in Manhattan and Biden seeking to make the election another referendum on the fate of American democracy.
