Did Trump get a ton of angry calls from rich guys after they put out that trial balloon?

I’ve been kinda surprised about TACO working out, since Trump’s Miller side doesn’t need or care about markets, corporations or rich people. The only real stick they have is in theory removing Congressional support, and that seems unlikely. But I guess Trump cares about their soft power.

That was my thought too. They’re floating this both to make a little cash off the volatility, and to see exactly how much the markets react. If the markets move too much they’ll just say it was fake news and move on
