Fifty-five percent of CEOs and other business leaders give Trump an "F" for his administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a poll conducted by the Yale School of Management. Another 12% say Trump deserves a "D."

that have found a way to profit off his presidency. They can't actually see his handling of COVID19 as good for the country or the economy. Maybe the companies (like those in the meat industry) like his support against implementing safety measures for workers.
