"Remember was it was an anathema to conservative values to interfere with business? Oh, my kingdom for the halcyon days of Reagan's " limited government." Now we have a Republican president committed to micromanaging the nation based on his own personal vendettas. And it's not just the once independent Department of Justice that must adhere to his whims, but private industry as well."
"While Donald Trump's role in the sidelining of Jimmy Kimmel (until Disney adults came to the rescue) has garnered a ton of attention, he's making other moves to leave his indelible mark on the free market. Like demanding Microsoft fire one of its attorneys. Last week, the president took to social media (because of course that's how he does it) to demand that Microsoft fire its President of Global Affairs Lisa Monaco."
Conservative principles historically opposed government interference in business, emphasizing Reagan-era limited government. President Trump has publicly intervened in corporate personnel decisions, using social media to demand that Microsoft fire its President of Global Affairs, Lisa Monaco. Monaco previously served as deputy attorney general and coordinated DOJ prosecutions of January 6 defendants; Trump revoked her security clearance in March. Trump characterized Monaco as 'a menace to U.S. National Security,' citing Microsoft's government contracts. The pressure campaign exemplifies a broader effort to align private companies with presidential preferences and to penalize officials tied to prosecutions or policies opposed by the president.
