They know he may tweet attack. Everyone knows he’s making the midterms a referendum on himself.
Large, publicly owned corporations don’t put principle over profit. They don’t get into peevish retaliations over harmful tariffs. They can’t. They follow the money. It’s what they do.
With two choices, Republicon tax scams, or customer appeal, Nike and Ford have elected to stand against trump.
There are political polls. And then there are terrifyingly in-depth customer marketing profiles. These companies–Nike and Ford, so far– are making the choice to counter one of trump’s favorite divisive themes.
We can’t take anything for granted. But this situation appears to project a BLUE TSUNAMI. Register to vote. Vote BLUE. We can do this.
