Show Notes

President Trump has been storming through corporate America — taking a stake in Intel, demanding a cut of Nvidia’s sales, restricting skilled workers, among other big footed policies.

Meanwhile, corporate leaders have mostly just … rolled over.

Today on the show: As Trump rewrites the rules of doing business, why aren’t business leaders doing more to speak up?
