What he’s doing to universities and BigLaw, he’s now doing to industry. For example, take Apple. Apple needs a carve-out for their phones. So, Trump wants to exchange that carve out for the types of changes that Bezos, Zuckerberg and others have recently made. He wants them to champion his policies, monitor their employees for non-Trump positions, etc. all of this is designed to keep Trump, his family, or his hand-selected successors in power forever.
Was this the subject of Trump and Putin’s discussions in Helsinki? During the Biden years?
I believe it, all of the big tech ceos knew that this was coming. I thought Tim Cook being at the inauguration seemed out of character, but it has became abundantly clear why he was there.
