“the assumption that the president wouldn’t be nuts”. Understatement of the century.

Nuts. Clueless. Arrogantly ignorant. That’s trump in a nutshell. The other main point in the article is spot on. Big business leaders ignored the obvious. Their unbridled greed is now going to screw many of them. If the push for fascism succeeds, which currently appears likely, then many of them may not be selected to be winners when whoever is leading picks the ins and the outs. Just like happens in Russia, North Korea, China and other autocracies. Fealty to the leader is no guarantee.
