So Jack, what's the takeaway for all our buddies over in Minnesota?
Minnesota CEOs show how to make public statements in Trump 2.0.
Make them together.
Yetis, in the last year, we've seen an unprecedented amount of capitulation from CEOs to a president of the United States.
This is the only president to face zero public dissent from the business community.
So it got our attention last week when Jamie Dimon voiced his dissent with three different Trump policies, but then he got sued.
And here's the key.
If instead Jamie Dimon had formed a coalition with other bank CEOs, he probably would have been harder to punish.
And remember last year when every law firm was getting sued by Trump and every university had their funding taken away?
Well, in both cases, those defendants were divided and they fell.
But with Minnesota's CEOs, they're showing a different approach here.
With falling approval numbers for the president and a precedent now happening for Minnesota, we think more of this vocalism from CEOs will come.
You're going to see this because the leverage has shifted.
CEOs will do again what they used to do and always have.
And what is that, Jack?
Voice their opinions on issues fundamental to the economy and their industries, even if those opinions displease the American president.
And if they do, we bet they do it together.
