Trump hiring prostitutes to pee on beds of CEOs who fund Republicans. WHAT could POSSIBLY go WRONG?

Realizing that some folks take things very literally, NO, Trump is not hiring prostitutes to pee on beds of CEOs who fund Republicans (at least in the context of what's in this article). BUT if you read what Robert Reich has to say in this article, MY take-away in 25 words or less was "Trump is hiring prostitutes to pee on beds of CEOs who fund Republicans." Hence, my thread title. If you're thinking "Reich didn't actually say that, you're right. It's my metaphor for what he did say.



Robert Reich: Trump is alienating one group he can’t afford to lose

Trump isn’t just alienating Republican senators. He’s also pissing off the executives of America’s biggest corporations, who happen to have a lot of influence over Republican members of Congress because they pay the costs of their campaigns.

Trump’s unwillingness to strongly condemn the neo-Nazi’s and white supremacists in Charlottesville caused business leaders to stampede off his advisory councils.

Now Trump’s cruel plan to end DACA, the Obama-era program that allows unauthorized immigrants who arrived in America as children to remain here, is mobilizing CEOs to make the program permanent.

Meanwhile, a who’s-who of more than 400 executives have signed a petition urging Trump and Congress to protect the “dreamers.” They include CEOs of Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, AT&T, Wells Fargo, Best Buy, Ikea and Kaiser Permanente.
