You want to make nice with the president because you’re a public company
and you have shareholders, and it’s hard to balance doing the right financial thing versus doing what they think is the right thing, whatever your political beliefs are.”
In the latest volley, the president tweeted that Mr. Cuban “backed me big-time
but I wasn’t interested in taking all of his calls,” and “He’s not smart enough to run for president!”
A Trump invitation “has become a double-edged sword
because the population is so divided,” said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management who organizes meetings of chief executives there.
This week, in an open letter published as an advertisement in The Baltimore Sun (Under Armour’s headquarters is in Baltimore), Mr. Plank said, “I personally believe
that immigration is the foundation of our country’s exceptionalism,” and “in a time of division, we aspire to be a force of unity, growth and optimism for our city and our country.” He pledged to oppose “any new actions that negatively impact our team, our neighbors or their families.”
Some Disney employees organized demonstrations in three cities this week, demanding
that Mr. Iger resign from the forum, even though he didn’t attend the first meeting because of a conflict with a long-scheduled company board meeting.
Even though nearly every company represented in the forum issued a statement
that to varying degrees distanced it from the immigration order or even denounced it, the images of the meeting risked looking like an endorsement of the Trump administration and its policies.
