One problem with that theory.
This information comes from Forbes magazine.
Steve Forbes publicly supported and voted for Donald Trump.
I hold publisher Rich Karlgaard responsible.
I remember reading that Wilbur Ross was a good friend of Malcolm Forbes and is very friendly with Steve Forbes. Just something that I read, nothing that I have any first, second or third hand knowledge of.
But that said every once in a while I read things in Forbes that I know don't represent Steve Forbe's opinions so he probably stays hands off on most reporting.
