She is reprimanding Trump if he is playing favoritism to one company over others. That should be commendable to all people who demand equal treatment under the law. Don’t get so blind following one person that you lose sight of what is right and proper. Palin supports Trump. She also has the balls to point out inconsistencies and hold our leaders feet to the fire if needed. You should too.

I do not agree but I respect your right to differ. Companies are not people and capitalism is not nursery school. We do not allow monopolies because then there is no competition and consumers have no protection against gouging. However companies succeed because they find niches and exploit them. Towns and States succeed by recognizing that they need to woo all businesses but will often make a special deal to attract a particularly beneficial one.

To me the problem lies in definition. The definition below is a common one but flawed. The key is favoritism. Companies can & should get deals if the circumstances warrant but the circumstances should relate to fidutiary responsibility to the Country, the State, the town etc. No because of some benefit to the grantor.

...Crony capitalism is a term describing an economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, or other forms of state interventionism.
