Trump threatens company. Company pretends to comply with Trump. Company then does exactly what it planned all along because the Trump attention span is short and FOX news has already spun it as a victory. Nothing changes.

We know this because Trump did this his first term and companies figured out how to play Trump long ago. He's an easy read.
