At a recent executive gathering in California, US media reports, several business magnates and two former presidents discussed the possibility of his re-election. Donald Trump and the implications this could have for their companies. The former president Bill Clinton warned of the threats a Trump victory could pose to democracy and the rule of law, while former President George Bush expressed his concern about the increase in tariffs.
Trump has already warned that he will use his power to retaliate against opponents and has sought financial support from businessmen. Some CEOs who previously expressed criticism of Trump are now avoiding taking a public position. For example, Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, decided not to endorse Harris publicly, and so did Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, who canceled his planned endorsement of Harris.
These moves are being interpreted by Trump’s allies and supporters as a sign of support, with some seeing Bezos’ neutrality as “tacit support.” While some businessmen are trying to decouple their financial success from political support, others are privately seeking to gain access to Trump’s team, as they worry about the possibility of “retaliation” if he is re-elected.
The shift in attitude among billionaires and CEOs reflects growing uncertainty over the US election outcome, but also the delicate balance between business interests and political choices.
With the political situation in the US extremely polarized, many leading companies are renegotiating their political position to maintain positive relationships regardless of the election outcome.
Melania: He’s not Hitler
Donald Trump’s wife Inkstoday rejected the former president and Republican candidate for the White House’s parallel with Adolf Hitler.
After coming under fire for statements he allegedly made — which he denied — about Hitler, as well as a comedian’s racist comments at his campaign rally in New York on Sunday, Trump assured Monday that it is “the opposite of the Nazi”.
In an interview on Fox News today, Melania Trump called her husband’s comparison to the leader of Nazi Germany “horrible.”
“He is not Hitler and all his supporters support him because they want to see their country succeed,” he said.
“People see what’s happening in their country and know what kind of leader they want. They want prosperity, they want the return of the American dream,” he added.
Melania Trump also confirmed that her husband was “not at all surprised,” as he had said when her memoir was released, about the position she took in favor of abortion rights.
Steve Bannon released from prison
Donald Trump’s former top White House adviser Steve Bannon was released from prison today after serving four months in prison for contempt of Congress, a week before the November 5 presidential election.
Also influential in Europe, this 70-year-old conservative populist was sentenced in October 2022 to 4 months in prison for refusing to cooperate with the parliamentary investigation into the attack on the Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump on January 6, 2021.
That sentence was upheld in the second degree in May, and Steve Bannon began serving it on July 1 at a Connecticut (northeast) prison.
The end of a tense election campaign has raised fears of post-election chaos if the results are contested by Trump supporters.
“I don’t feel broken. I feel rejuvenated,” Steve Bannon told the New York Times today, who is expected to return to his “War Room” podcast to continue, as he promised, his support of the Republican nominee.
The former adviser to Donald Trump was one of the voices promoting the allegations, which were never proven, that the 2020 presidential election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden.
Those accusations, hurled by then-president Trump and his allies, came to a head on January 6, 2021, when thousands of the Republican’s supporters stormed the Capitol to try to block the official recognition of the victory. of Democrat Biden.
The day before on January 6, Bannon had predicted that “all hell” would break loose. And the other day, he had a phone conversation with the outgoing president.
