“One of the biggest supporters of President Trump’s trade policies, according to the president, is the unnamed chief executive officer of a mystery company,” Bloomberg reports.
Said Trump, at a recent rally: “I was with one of the greatest companies in the world. The chief executive officer. Very short while ago. And it really affects him. He said ‘You know what, this does affect our company. But, Mr. President, keep going. You’re doing the right thing.”’
“Trump didn’t identify his supporter, and the White House won’t say who it is. Trade groups representing the largest U.S. businesses and CEOs have almost universally opposed Trump’s disruptive approach to trade. But the person fits a model: an anonymous figure — important and powerful — who invariably supports the president’s position, according to Trump himself.”
