3. It's not just licenses being threatened by the Trump mob, it's business decisions re mergers

Trump mop extorting corporations to do an end run around the First Amendment limits on POTUS. If he/his mob can strong arm corporations into limiting speech of their 'employees' Trump is a happy camper cuz it's not the state doing the silencing.

Now, if some of the threatened business would grow spines and stand up to being Trump's proxy, that would be refreshing.
