"President Donald Trump is no stranger to public disagreements with corporate America. During his first term and before returning to office, he critiqued General Motors' decision to shut down factories, and threatened to jail Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, to name just a few examples. Since stepping back into the Oval Office, Trump has targeted corporate leaders and gone after companies without specifically naming the CEOs. In April, he criticized Amazon for reported plans to display tariff-related price hikes (the company denied the plan), and in May, he reprimanded Walmart for announcing price increases."
"Donald Trump has gone after a number of prominent CEOs during the first months of his second term. His criticisms range from manufacturing woes, to allegations of political bias, to DJing. Here's a running list of CEOs Trump has criticized during his second term. Leading a company is not for the faint of heart. Especially if the company runs afoul of the White House. Business leaders who face Trump's ire don't always stay in the doghouse for long, as the president has flip-flopped between criticism and praise for many corporate titans."
President Donald Trump publicly criticized a number of prominent CEOs during the early months of his second term.
