Jack Welch, the former GE chief and longtime Republican supporter, told CNBC on Tuesday he's voting for Donald Trump because he likes the real estate mogul's policies on tax reform, government regulations and national security more than those of Hillary Clinton.
Welch was late to the Trump camp, first supporting Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who failed to secure the GOP presidential nomination.
Welch provided a detailed argument for Trump's policies in a "Squawk Box" interview.
On taxes, he said Trump's federal corporate tax cut from 35 percent to 15 percent would be better for the economy.
On regulation, Welch said he favors Trump's stance on reviewing or repealing a host of government regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform act.
He said Clinton's plan on regulations would be "Obama plus."
On energy, Welch said he likes Trump's support of fracking and the Keystone pipeline.
On the environment, Welch said supports Trump's plans to reform the EPA and modify the climate change agreement reached in Paris.

I’d take Jack Welch’s support over that of any member of the Bush family. He’s created jobs and been successful and innovative, the Bushes have not, dragged us into needless wars that have created havoc, and were among the dimmest bulbs in the room.
How deplorable. Isn’t Jack from the deplorable “greatest generation” basket? Put him back in and tell him to shut the “” up.
Memo to Mark Levin:
Jack Welsh is far more qualified to make an assessment of Mr. Trump than you’ll ever be. He has real world experience whereas you live in a talk radio/book writing bubble.
Get with the program. And not in a lukewarm way either.
Glad that Chainsaw Jack is supporting Trump. Here's hoping Trump takes a chainsaw to the Federal Registry when he gets in.
The Jack Welch management system was a disaster. Stripped companies of institutional knowledge. Blew out good productive employees and created endless churn. Pretty much strengthened the arguments of Unions everywhere.
I will pass on Jack Welch
Neutron Jack. He’s hard as nails.
Obviously didn't strip out all institutional know how, the company still does okay in some hi-tech fields. But the employees are beat like rented mules. Loyalty is a one-way street these days.
The bad news his system was adopted everywhere across many industries and fields. Misery abounds. Knew a gal who hand an engineering team to solve a difficult problem. All five top tier engineers. Solved the problem then had to rank her team. Blew out number five. Stupid.
