I do think the corporate interests propping up Trump really have not thought through the fact there is pretty much no scenario in which the U.S. economy under a Trumpian reign of terror comes out looking *better*. A few oligarchs I’m sure are betting they’ll win big, but the vast majority won’t.

The folks betting big on Trump got their money from real estate, oil and gas, and venture capital (and a box manufacturer for some reason). They all have in common that they have ways of coming through a downturn still on top. You can really feel like royalty if you rule over the ashes.

rich people tend to assume, on largely a subconcious level, that they can just spend some money to deal with pretty much any conceivable problem (and most of the time, they're 100% right) the type of scenarios where that's not true tend not to occur to them

i don't think they actually care about the overall state of the country as long as they get to be at the top of it

Because CEOs don't care about their companies. They care about themselves. They support policies that line THEIR pockets, not necessarily the company's.

What gets me is that Trump fucking wrecks people all the time and it's always because the other person thinks they are special. They are not. Every time.

If CEOs of tech companies think that they will prevail over Creepy Miller or the Heritage Taliban, they are nuts. The tariffs, the world view, and flat out fear will plummet the stock market, trade in general and confidence in the US.
