Micromanager Trump tells CEOs he's the Boss [View all]
In dealing with Americas biggest companies, the commander in chief has no qualms about acting as the micromanager in chief.
President Trump took his penchant for telling corporate bosses how to run their companies to another level Thursday by publicly calling on Intels chief executive to resign. The move wasnt out of character: Trump has told Detroit carmakers not to raise prices and demanded Walmart eat the tariffs. He has pressured the Washington Commanders football team to change its name and wants Coca-Cola to use cane sugar instead of corn syrup.
All of that intervention is creating a risk for business leaders who thought they had largely figured out the Trump playbook. Public flattery and splashy U.S. investment announcements were supposed to placate the president and keep companies out of his Truth Social posts. Instead, the Republican is weighing in on business decisions in unprecedented ways, in industries from pharmaceuticals to banking and manufacturing.
Now that the president has called for the head of one CEO, the fear is that he will target others who displease him, executives and corporate advisers say.
