"Arvin Krishna of IBM and tech titans would meet with him in small groups. It was extremely effective... the CEOs of Walmart, Home Depot and Costco went and met with Trump privately." Trump responds well to private, backstage diplomacy rather than public defiance or massive lobbying groups. Companies whose leadership understands this specific hub-and-spoke engagement model can successfully negotiate favorable terms and avoid his public wrath. LONG. These companies have demonstrated the political savvy required to navigate Trump's unorthodox leadership style, minimizing their regulatory risks while quietly advancing their corporate interests. Trump's ad-hoc decision-making and reliance on loyalists over experts could still unpredictably impact trade or tech policies before these CEOs have a chance to intervene.
