So today Trump had a round-table discussion with dozens of CEO's. Jamie Dimon, Tim Cook, Moynihan, the lady from Citigroup... just to name the "stars" of the show. Apparently there were many more.
So ignoring his message regarding what he plans to do... tax cuts, tariffs, blah blah blah, whatever; here's an honest question.
He went head to head with these people. No note-cards, no teleprompters, just head to head. Now it's probably safe to assume a large percentage of those in attendance hate him. Safe bet to say the least. But he was there, and he fielded the questions as they came at him. I'm sure he had no idea what those questions would be. But again, he was there and even though many might not have liked his answers, he wasn't using cheat sheets and no way were the attendee's buttered up to only ask "nice" questions. He threw himself into hostile fire.
My question... could Joe have done this? An unscripted head to head with some of the brightest minds in America? My guess is no. And you know some of those questions had to be real doozies. I have no opinion on what he said he'd do, that's not the point of my post...I'm simply saying, I don't think Joe could have handled a forum like this. His people would have kept him out at all costs. But I could be wrong. Opinions?
