If they are thinking this they need to do some about it before we all go down!

America’s top CEOs are a little behind the curve.

They've probably been cooling their heels so they could get those tax cuts for themselves and their companies cemented with that Big Bonkers Budget bill in July. Meh, lining their pockets and *then*complaining. But will they do anything? Can they?

They’re Heads have been up Dubya and Norquist’s Asses for 24 years. They completely Abandoned the Innovation of Reagan’s Supply Side Economics and WJB’s E-Commerce Revolution for Grover Norquist Oligarchy. Now the Orange Stalin is trying to transform it in a State Controlled Communist Socialist Ecosystem. A Gotdamn Dictatorship and NOW they’re waking up and realizing they created a monster.

But they don’t worry about his mental illness or his raping young girls?! who else is on the Trump/Epstein child rape files?? They are more worried about this than they are worried about his mental illness and his raping young girls?!? They are more worried about their fucking money than this country. That should tell you a lot!!

So what are the very wealthy and influential CEOs doing about this

frightful situation? In a word, NOTHING. I suppose greed and money rule. (Perhaps risking the

wrath of Trump might mean giving up one of their 3 planes or yachts or houses, which apparently is too abhorrent to them - poor things).

They cannot see the forest for the trees…tRump isn’t doing any of this for them & their businesses, which will all fail, or the American people, he’s doing all this for PUTIN!

Putin has been his master since the 1970’s when tRump’s businesses were all failing & heading for the toilet. He desperately needed money & no bank would touch him! Where did he turn? He turned to Russia /KGB who had been looking for an inept businessman who was easily influenced by flattery & would sell his soul & his country to remain rich & in the line light!

So CEO’s buckle up for a wild ride…you’re all going to lose your A$$E$….welcome to the everyday working American’s world!

However, We, the People (working class) have caught on to what you guys are doing…divide & conquer you said…and yes for a while we thought it was Democrats vs Republicans…but in reality it’s not that kind of war…it’s a class war…and we REFUSE TO LET ANY OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS TO EAT CAKE! Got it?

We’ll stop shopping, we’ll stop going places, we’ll stop feeding you guys… we’ll shop local, mom& pop stores, farmers markets…we’ll buy the bare minimum…we’ll bring you down! We’ll start forming groups to help our neighbors, the homeless, the people in rural areas bring them staples…we’re going to unite & fight!

That’s right we are UNITING & FIGHTING for ALL of our right!

We are fighting you, the Oligarchs, Fascist Party (GOP), Project 2025, White Christian Nationalists, White Supremacists, Federalist Society, MAGATS, the Cabinet of incompetence, & the likes of Steven Millerp, Peter Theil & his lap dog Vance, etc. we want you all in PRISON for TREASON!

CEOs, arguably America’s most powerful individuals, cower in fear from a simpleton, reality TV host, who’s only real skill is the “art of the shakedown”. Why is that?

Their worship of wealth? These guys make, on average 280 times the income their average employees make. In 1965, it was 21 times (Economic Policy Institute). They are unassailable and still they want more.

Trump has to be confronted and stopped or even these folks will feel the coming economic pain that his ridiculous policies guarantee.

A little bit of socialism (don’t forget my tithe), tariffs that will certainly boomerang and hurt America plenty (onshoring ain’t coming folks). And a prurient desire from the rest of the world to tell us to “fck off”.

The world won’t stand his juvenile bullying forever and when the world says enuf and socks TACO Trump on the jaw he goes down and out.

There’s enough wisdom and wealth to create a fairer, more just economy.

It doesn’t involve Trump.

CEOs, get moving before it gets taken from us ALL.

I agree with those who made monies in the past but we invested in our children’s future and the generations after that….somehow ‘’we’’voted in a criminal who first threw our economy out from under our feet and he and a handful of “Olagarch’s’’ seemed to like it so much that they sent our Social Security Down the Proverbial Drain! Rather than “Drain the Swamp”….they became the Swamp which was plain to see but still many voted not for Red , Blue Or Purple…most actually seemed SURPRISED???? WE VOTED BLUE🇺🇸

Bottom line is, Help Us and We’ll help You…it will not be the same wealth but it will guarantee that Trump has “MAPA’’…. ‘’Made America Poor Again” and it Looks like these Seniors Will Just have to “Go Fetch Again”! So Much for The Rich…when you can’t afford groceries to eat! MAEA…Make America Eat Again!🇺🇸💙🗽🌎😥🤬

“CEOs told us they still believe in the promise of the United States and its capitalist system”.

They are not our friends. They’re our oppressors.

Dismayed he is swinging to a quasi socialist country? Lol. CEO’S are NOT necessarily are best or brightest, just more diabolical in their competition for more and more and more. It’s not working for THEM but could give zeroF’s about the people. Zero.

We told you. We warned you. We pleaded with you. To understand how dangerous this man is. But no. You sold out the people because you thought you would benefit.

They all put him there…just like the farmers who he has bankrupted.

He eats his own.

The only people I feel sorry for are all the ones who didn’t vote for him.

Oh? So NOW they’re worried? They should have seen this coming— and some of them were complicit in helping Trump get where he is right now.

It’s not socialism: it’s the patronage system and a vehicle for corruption
