No Fortune 100 CEOs Back Republican Donald Trump (Cheap Labor Express prefers Cankles)

Democrat Hillary Clinton has 11 contributors and 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney had far more

No chief executive at the nation’s 100 largest companies had donated to Republican Donald Trump’s presidential campaign through August, a sharp reversal from 2012, when nearly a third of the CEOs of Fortune 100 companies supported GOP nominee Mitt Romney. During this year’s presidential primaries, 19 of the nation’s top CEOs gave to other Republican candidates, including former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of campaign donations.

Since then, most have stayed on the sidelines, with 89 of the 100 top CEOs not supporting either presidential nominee, and 11 backing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. A total of 66 CEOs sat out the 2012 campaign, according to the Journal’s calculation.

Just keep printing that funny money and handing it out to their Ruling Class pals. Even though the money deflates they still have more deflated dollars than you do, you poor saps.

Vote Hillary!

Thanks to Jim Robb and the help of Freepers in many ways, what the problem is and why we need Trump is now clear as glass.

Pass the word. These CEOs are the globalist corporatist leaders.

They are the enemies of the nations and traitors to America in most cases.

I take this as an extremely positive sign!

If a politician, either directly or via their PAC, donates to a candidate, it is an endorsement. If a business person donates, they are either paying protection money and/or trying to buy influence; they see it as just the cost of doing business. This is why I dismiss DJT’s past donations out of hand.

So why is this positive? First off, there is not much confidence in Hillary’s victory on the part of the CEOs. Otherwise, they would be making the investment. Caveat: does this story include donations to the Clinton Crime Family’s foundation? Second, it is a strong

This story is comforting, not alarming.

BAN SOFTWARE PATENTS

Trump’s first act should be ban software patents,

and get some innovation going again.

I really hope Donald remember this when he has a chance to stick it to these scumbags. How about a special penalty to pay back America for the hundreds of billions we’ve paid towards the social costs of the 50 million illegal aliens who have contributed to their record profits?

For global corporations, America is just a regional division. These are the NWO boys, and they do not have America’s interest in their hearts.
