Trump Impresses Business Roundtable---NOT

[silverscreenselect]

This didn't get the attention as his meeting with Republican Senators and Representatives, where they fawned all over him like the guests at the wedding of Don Coreleone's daughter, but Trump also addressed a group of 80 top CEOs that afternoon at the quarterly meeting of the Business Roundtable to discuss his plans if re-elected. Since this group wouldn't be impressed with talk about rigged elections or crooked judges (or electric batteries and sharks, for that matter), he had to stick to actual issues. It didn't go so well.:

CEOs at Trump meeting: Ex-president ‘meandering’ and ‘doesn’t know what he’s talking about’

Former President Donald Trump failed to impress everyone in a room full of top CEOs Thursday at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting, multiple attendees told CNBC. “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room, according to a person who heard the executive speaking. The CEO also said Trump did not explain how he planned to accomplish any of his policy proposals, that person said. Several CEOs “said that [Trump] was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map,” CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin reported Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Among the topics on which Trump offered scant details were how he would reduce taxes and cut back on business regulations, according to two other people in the room who spoke to CNBC. Meeting attendees and people who spoke with them were granted anonymity in order to speak freely about the private event. The same CEOs who were struck by Trump’s lack of focus “walked into the meeting being Trump supporter-ish or thinking that they might be leaning that direction,” Sorkin reported. “These were people who I think might have been actually predisposed to [Trump but] actually walked out of the room less predisposed” to him, Sorkin said.

Trump’s energy in the meeting was also noticeably subdued, according to two people who were in the room. At no time during his remarks was there any noticeable applause for Trump, two attendees told CNBC. “At one point, he discussed his plan to bring the corporate tax rate down from 21% to 20% … and was asked about why he had chosen 20%,” Sorkin said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “And he said, ‘Well, it’s a round number.’” “That unto itself had a number of CEOs shaking their heads,” Sorkin reported.
