https://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/top-ceos-met-to-plan-response-to-trumps-election-denial/WASHINGTON (AP) Only a few of Americas CEOs have made public statements about President Donald Trumps refusal to accept his election loss, but in private, many are alarmed and talking about what collective action would be necessary if they see an imminent threat to democracy.
On Nov. 6, more than two dozen CEOs of major U.S. corporations took part in a video conference to discuss what to do if Trump refuses to leave office or takes other steps to stay in power beyond the scheduled Jan. 20 inauguration of former Vice President Joe Biden. On Saturday Biden was declared the election winner by The Associated Press and other news organizations.
During the conference, which lasted more than an hour, the CEOs agreed that Trump had the right to pursue legal challenges alleging voter fraud.
But if Trump tries to undo the legal process or disrupts a peaceful transition to Biden, the CEOs discussed making public statements and pressuring GOP legislators in their states who may try to redirect Electoral College votes from Biden to Trump, said Yale Management Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, who convened the meeting.

An army of politicians will storm the WH to tell Trump it's time.

(61,408 posts)The CEOs and boards of multinational corporations aren't going to sit around while Trump tanks the markets because of his ego.
They like the tax breaks and deregulation. But when he's through, he's through. A constitutional crisis is bad for business.

(1,584 posts)in which he mildly rebuked her network for not cutting away from some previous tRump lying speech while other networks had. Interesting that in announcing coverage of todays WH orange propaganda they added they would be cutting away if the lies about the election persisted. Wondered then how long would that take?

Guessing lies took about 15 seconds max to erupt from agent orange.

This is meaningless PR drivel. They are backing a dictator.
