. . . this and more, and still more, may be necessary to 'inform' the CEO's, et al, of the trump problem - and trickle down to inform the top 1/2 of trump's support.

They'll get behind anyone to help oust him. He's a raving lunatic, and a career criminal who wants control of them and their businesses or he'll hurt them , or try to make them criminals.. Just like Putin has done in Russia, hmmmmm.
