Under Armour CEO faces intense backlash for pro-Trump comments
Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank is facing a heap of criticism for his praise of President Donald Trump on CNBC this morning. “To have such a pro-business president is something that is a real asset for the country. People can really grab that opportunity. He wants to build things. He wants to make bold decisions and be really decisive. I’m a big fan of people that operate in the world of ‘publish and interate’ versus ‘think, think, think, think, think.’ So there’s a lot of respect there.” Plank was originally part of a meeting of business leaders who met with Trump in the White House in late January to brainstorm about how to bring jobs back to America. The athletics retailer said in a statement that they're focused on "policy, not politics."
