Corporate America is now suddenly in a rush to switch sides.
Varney & Co. host Stewart Varney analyzed Trump’s first post-election press conference, where the president-elect covered almost every issue.
Just look at Mark Zuckerberg and Meta. He and his company bent over backwards to help Democrats. Zuckerberg gave $400 million to the 2020 election.

Immediately after his election victory, Trump held court at Mar-a-Lago. Remember Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski desperately trying to get back on Trump’s good side?And there was Canadian Justin Trudeau who was clearly afraid of Trump’s tariffs flow of heads who showed us the extent of corporate change that Trump would bring.Bankers, oil guys, Wall Street people and of course the CEOs of all those trillion dollar tech companies.

They want to influence the new administration and are not afraid to switch sides. They will ditch Biden and go with Trump because he has the White House, the Senate and the House and all the power that comes with it.
