Highly unusual list includes 533 businesses and trade organisations

Donald Trump has drawn up a scorecard for corporate America, ranking companies based on their loyalty to his administration.

The highly unusual list ranks 533 businesses and trade organisations based on their efforts to champion the US president’s “one big beautiful bill”, according to reports.

Companies that have fared well deployed a variety of tactics – often trumpeting the benefits of an individual policy, such as Uber’s celebration of Mr Trump’s “no tax on tips” proposal.

The scorecard, which Axios said will aid decision-making on corporate requests, comes as part of Mr Trump’s “America First” agenda and protectionist policies.

    It won’t happen within my lifetime, but I wish I could be alive when all these assholes face the barrel end of a gun in some sort of revolution.

    Sadly I give it probably another 50 years to happen, at best, and I’ll be long gone.

      Be the change you wish to happen.

      On my part, I am practicing with my gun. Way I figure, the antifa states will need soldiers, and someone has to be meat for that grinder. I might as well be among them, so that skilled people are free to do what must be done, whatever that may be.

        Yeah, I don’t have kids myself and my wife and I have no plans or desire to…

        …but we have friends who do and I’m legitimately worried for their future. Or lack thereof. Some think things will “just work out” - but I think that’s wishful thinking and dumb.

        I’d love to believe otherwise, but I don’t think anything short of strategic, aggressive pushback, likely violent at times, will change things.

          That whole “it’ll work out” is such an incredibly privileged mindset. I can’t imagine anyone with that belief has ever really struggled in any way.

            1000%. I feel like everyone my parents age has that mindset though and it immediately makes me think, “yeah so you’re an ignorant idiot”.
