Steve Benen: Trump has picked foolish and unnecessary fights with private-sector leaders before, but saying executives should be fired for failing to support his campaign seems like a real escalation. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump wants business leaders who fail to support him to be firedwww.msnbc.com Donald Trump escalated his offensive against business skeptics, calling for private-sector leaders to be fired for failing to support his pursuit of power.

this should be a clear warning to all sorts of rich & influential elites from corporate leaders to news industry owners & managers who apparently think they can be Trump's special buddies under a Trumpist authoritarian regime that, no, they won't be, they'll be his enemies too, at some point

They can’t all be his darlings, they would have to compete for the pieces of ass to kiss.

in various authoritarian regimes, particularly those led in cult-of-personality style, powerful allies often begin with amicable ties and then at some point inevitably lose favor with the ruling freakazoids and face trouble

Someone will get a rose, some get revenge. Just look how he selectively forgave early detractors.

And he encourages that kind of chaos and competition.

standard a**hole moron paranoid spiteful crime boss bullsh*t

Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America's economy. What does this mean for the nation's political-economic divide? | Brookingswww.brookings.edu This economic rift that persists in dividing the nation is a problem because it underscores the near-certainty of both continued clashes between the political parties and continued alienation and misu...

Trump cheated in the marketplace (honest companies were at a disadvantage). New York has a law that punishes cheaters. No company should support Trump. 2023: "N.Y. appeals court upholds Judge Engoron’s ruling that Trump committed 'widespread fraud'" www.rawstory.com/trump-organi...

It's in the same bucket as "Jews who don't vote for me are stupid"

Trump believes he can bully anyone into submission, and by looking at the Republican Party today you can’t blame him.

Is someone going to point out how factually incorrect the side of his hat is (45-47), before it gets completely normalized? Every caption should point out this is a lie, attempting to erase from history President Biden, #46.

Good thing all those liberals came out against firing/not hiring Israel critics. It was important to establish that employers shouldn't be used to enforce politics.

One thing that's funny about liberals squirming about Trump telling businesses to fire Biden supporters is a bunch of these Biden supporters were comfortable endorsing Trump using "the camps" to incarcerate Leftists.

Endorsing?

Did liberals like the idea of teaching Leftists a lesson by threatening them?

There's always idiots. I don't think we should paint a whole group of people with the shit that comes out of those idiots, personally. That's a tool for fascists.

There is a wee difference between The State using its power to push for those firings and individuals exercising their First Amendment rights.

Are you saying laws to punish Israel critics are within your understanding of the First Amendment? And private companies firing Biden supporters violate your understanding of the First Amendment?

He's a rabid psycho increasingly cornered by his own flappy-yappy mouth (constantly excused by his balless psycho-phants). Simply wants to be total dick-tator for life; eradicate anyone who disagrees. Temperament of undisciplined 2-yr-old but with an increasingly shrinking and incapacitated "brain."

And a threat he could carry out: fire executive X or face loss of government contracts, regulatory and tax investigations, and a boycott (and possibly violence) by my followers.

So, a president does have that power but none of the democratic presidents so far has considered using it (except FDR?). Does that tell us something important?

Better Hat!

Something something picking winners and losers

So we are calling the oligarchs “private sector leaders” now? OK, maybe Biden should consider picking some non-foolish and very necessary fights with them because everyone who is not them or owned by them (politicians) hates them with passion.

What? Be serious, this means nothing. Like the BOD of any corporation would fire their CEO on Trump's say-so, don't be ridiculous. The only reason to talk about this episode is to make fun of it.

This is what the heads of industry thought in Russia before Putin put one of them in a cage for a show trial.

What might encourage him to keep doing that? Maybe do more? He really should pick more fights before his sentencing on his multiple criminal convictions.

How many months in jail for Trump on the side of his hat (45-47)?
