CEOs have adopted several coping strategies under the current administration, including avoiding public criticism and engaging in private talks with Trump. Positive public statements about the president and actions to appease him, such as withdrawing from DEI and announcing new factories, are considered effective. Business interactions are perceived as being based on quid pro quo rather than substantive policy discussions. Companies face risks from the administration's unpredictable nature, influenced by Trump's social media presence. A sense of frustration exists among businesses due to erratic tariff policies and an absence of meaningful negotiation.
"Don't humiliate Trump, they talk with him privately." - Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Yale School of Management.
"Giving the White House a win on something has forever been a good strategy." - Michael Robinson, CEO of Montgomery Strategies Group.
"Every company is just one Truth Social post away from being thrown into the political crosshairs." - Michael Robinson.
"There's very little policy or substantive discussions happening, two issues that matter most for many businesses." - Anonymous senior consultant.
