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.

    Boy, the US is in for a super rude awakening into the rest of the world when they come back after this guy is done.

    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.

        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”.

    We really taught him a lesson about quid pro quo, didn’t we? As in, he won’t ever get in trouble using influence to get anything he wants.

      Biden hiring Merrick Garland as AG is probably the thing that ended up putting the final nail in the coffin that was American Democracy. There were literally 100s of crimes to choose from and he just slow walked prosecution on any of them. Still not sure if that’s because of cowardice or just loyalty to the Republican party on his part.

    Mr Trump has signed an executive order requiring banks not to discriminate against clients on political ground

    … while also releasing a list of his support for companies ranked on political grounds …

        I mean surely the whole article is just a typo and the writer is confused? They can’t possibly mean Donald Trump, the failed businessman, failed casino owner, failed university operator, convicted felon and best friend of convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein is corrupt?!

      The upvotes are diminishing. Two more weeks and people will have moved on. It’s fascinating to see how the mind works.
