"some people" think that it's because Trump will expose the business deals behind politics. HRC sure did make a LOT of money from Wall Street and Goldman-Sachs.

I guess that could suggest that HRC = business as usual for outside money and influence in politics. I'm not saying that's my personal POV because I just don't know enough to convince myself, but it's an interesting theory to discuss on RP.

If I were still in business and wanted to be a political entrepreneur, I'd prefer Hillary inasmuch as she clearly is willing to sell influence. She amassed hundreds of millions peddling influence while Scty of State. Imagine how much more she could peddle as President

Major tech companies don't want to go against the grain and we see facebook google and even twitter change algorithms against Trump. They are outspoken against Trump. It's like a big clique and it has to be taken seriously, no tech company wants to go against the grain of the behemoths. (could be the h1b and outsourcing for cheaper labor that scares them too, which is legal.) My most recent experience was that I was looking for information to cite about Trump humanitarian and and philanthropy acts of the past as I have looked at some unique instances before, so now in google none of those stories show up. Only stories that his company has contributed comparatively little and other negative viewpoints. So, I hope when he releases his personal taxes (because I don't know and can only speculate) that they may show include charitable contributions valued more than what his company have given. Similar to politicians, these tech companies don't want to go against the grain when they're only concerned with their own futures and careers. If Trump goes away they will be fine for not of advocating for him, if he does prove to be good for business then they can change their toon without a hitch. just my 2c. Small business also on google show negatively, however enticing companies to work in the US and Trumps plan for Education to be released soon, the lifting of the healthcare penalties if employing (x) amount of workers, etc.. there are practical reasons to find appeal. They say he will issue tariffs, which used to be the way, however that is something he said if the countries that we trade with fail to negotiate, it's called leverage. The democrats shouldn't act surprised to saber rattling, it's something they like to practice themselves. Another thing Trump calls china out for is it abuse of intellectual property law.

Trump also runs a private business not a publicly traded corporation.
