Some of the country's "top CEOs" were apparently were surprised by the fact that Trump is a "meandering" moron. Who wants to take dibs on whether all of them will still vote for him or not?

Here's more on that meeting from CNBC:

Former President Donald Trump failed to impress everyone in a room full of top CEOs Thursday at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting, multiple attendees told CNBC.

“Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room, according to a person who heard the executive speaking. The CEO also said Trump did not explain how he planned to accomplish any of his policy proposals, that person said.

Several CEOs “said that [Trump] was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map,” CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin reported Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Among the topics on which Trump offered scant details were how he would reduce taxes and cut back on business regulations, according to two other people in the room who spoke to CNBC.

Meeting attendees and people who spoke with them were granted anonymity in order to speak freely about the private event.

The same CEOs who were struck by Trump’s lack of focus “walked into the meeting being Trump supporter-ish or thinking that they might be leaning that direction,” Sorkin reported.

“These were people who I think might have been actually predisposed to [Trump but] actually walked out of the room less predisposed” to him, Sorkin said.

Yes, "less predisposed," as opposed to running for the hills as fast as they can and telling everyone to vote for Biden. Instead, the person Sorkin was quoting also said, "This may not be any different, or better, than a Biden thought, if you're thinking that way."

Incoherent quote there from Sorkin, but obviously someone both-siding Biden and Trump, ignoring the fact that Biden has been great for business and Trump wants to destroy businesses with kicking all the immigrants out and huge tariffs.

It's good to hear that some of these people at least recognize the fact that Trump is an idiot. Whether they believe he's a useful idiot of a dangerous idiot remains to be seen. Sadly I'm guessing it will be the latter as long as all of them believe there will be some more tax cuts coming for them if Trump gets back in the White House.
