Just thinking the same thing.
After you are elected, go after specific problems in the corporations, but also give them tax parity with other nations.
It’s a give and take game, and the U. S. can benefit from altered corporate problems going both ways.
To do this now simply cuts off any funding he could have had from this group and further alienates them from cooperating in the future.
While he may have thought this would garner support, I think it was short-sighted. I do think corporations need to be cleaned up a bit.
My first priority would be to bring back jobs to the United States through tax incentives, part of what needs to be addressed anyway, but why not use jobs as leverage while you’re at it?
We shall see how it plays out.
