CEOs say they are losing faith in Trump: 'I don't trust that what's said today will be true tomorrow'

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Gone is the optimistic dream of economic growth spurred by Trump’s pro-business mindset around taxes and regulation. In its place is the grave uncertainty of not knowing what this administration will do next. As the host, Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, noted afterward, the consensus was one of bewilderment, condemnation and a feeling that “Trump’s policies were bad for the U.S. economy.”

Though the attendees identified as 60% Republican to 40% Democrat, the mood was dour. In a flash poll at the summit, 80% of CEOs said they find themselves “apologizing to our international partners for Trump’s capriciousness.” Eighty-five percent oppose his approach to tariffs and think they’re backfiring. Almost all—92%—are now concerned about recession. Indeed, Goldman Sachs’ chief economist just downgraded the entire U.S. economy.’

Anyone who had ‘faith’ in Trump to begin with is a fool.

It should come as a surprise to no one that Trump’s failed economic policies would be a disaster – Trump is unfit to be president.

He just announed a 300% tariff on Honduan Bananas.

That actually didn’t happen but if it had happened...it would surprise no one.

We all tried to warn them.

We all tried to warn them.

you warned us but didnt have a viable contender to keep the guy out.....and next time dont throw so much bullshit at everyone and expect people to buy that bullshit....

 

[Bootstraps]

I was told that by democrats that he was owned by big businesses and would be working to make them richer. Were democrats lying then or are they lying now?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Everybody seems to be his enemy.

Even Harry Dresden has partially awakened to the fact he is loopy.

And, yes, Biden should not have been the party choice, much less Harris.

I wasn't bullshit, as you can plainly see.

yes it was as most people plainly seen.....

 

[Zincwarrior]

Dj down more than 500. S&P in correction territory.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Stocks down solidly again.

Trump's economics are the kiss of economic doom.

Nonsense. Kamala would have continued on Biden's policies. Of course Republicans right now would be warning us that Kamala is going to get us into war with Iran. Or she's going to cause inflation or a recession. All things Trump is dangerously close to causing.

So CEO's don't trust Trump? I don't either. You know who else doesn't trust Trump? The rest of the world. Iran for sure doesn't Trust him. So why do dopey MAGA voters trust him?

Iran Says Ceasefire Has Already Been 'Violated' By U.S. And Israel​

The speaker of Iran's Parliament said Wednesday that the U.S. and Israel have already "violated" the two-week ceasefire agreement that was reached Tuesday.

"The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments – a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again," Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said in a statement. "As the President of the United States has clearly stated, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s 10-Point Proposal is a ‘workable basis on which to negotiate’ and the main framework for these talks. However, three clauses on this proposal have already been violated."

The violations include Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon, despite Pakistan Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif declaring "an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and other regions, effective immediately."

Ghalibaf also alleged that Iran's airspace was violated by an "intruding drone," and that there has been a "denial of Iran's right to enrichment."

"The very 'workable basis on which to negotiate’ has therefore been openly and clearly violated – even before negotiations have begun," Ghalibaf said. "Under such circumstances, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable."

Unless you are rich and can buy every time he tanks the market.

We were doing great. Just as good as now minus the high gas prices and tariffs.

Many, many, many economists have said "I wonder how good this economy would be doing right now if not for Trumps Grift, I mean tariffs and war.

You do realize tariff is a tax right? And you do realize Trump is costing you bigly at the pump right?

One good thing has come from this. I haven't driven up north since this happened. 3.5 hours each way? At $4 a gallon? No thanks. So it's also hurting the economy. I spend a lot when I go up north.

gas prices dont mean shit to me bobo i am pretty used to paying 4 dollars a gallon...

Well then you're an idiot because higher gas prices raises the price of EVERYTHING. Are you an idiot?

Are you used to paying more for EVERYTHING?

What state did you move to from California? I want to see how much gas has gone up in your state. Because I'm sure you were getting used to under $4 a gallon and then suddenly Trump fucked you.

I also want to see what the prices were all of 2025. I'm sure you "got used to" under $4 a gallon.

lol...yea bobo California has pretty high gas prices.....and guess were Nevada gets their gas from?....i havent seen anything under 3.00 dollars probably as long as you have been tying your own shoes,,,,

Gosh I guess you should have done your research before you fled California to Nevada.

Nevada voted for Trump in 2024 right?

Nevada gas prices are currently among the highest in the nation, averaging over $5.01 per gallon for regular unleaded as of early April 2026, driven by regional refinery constraints and global supply issues. Las Vegas prices have surged past $5, while Northern Nevada/Reno reports around $5.50 a gallon.

Oh I forgot. You don't mind high gas prices. Because you are really stupid.
