    Very true, but investors are sensitive to changes in the wind. Trump is looking very weak these days, and any company who allows themselves to be cowed by his parlor tricks will lose investor confidence.

      Trump’s strength or weakness doesn’t really have too much bearing. The minute he is replaced they will adjust their tune accordingly for the new guy. Investors like Trump. The market is at a high.

      That sounds like a pretty significant change in behavior to me. Do you have any reason to believe this is true and not just wishful thinking?

        I mean, just last year Disney learned the hard way that acquiescing to Trump’s whim invites volatility when they suspended Jimmy Kimmel in June. Subscribers fled in droves, they had to bring him back on… It was a shit show they’re unlikely to want to repeat.

        The easy solution is to make no publicly visible moves and wait patiently.
