The opening paragraphs of an opinion column in today’s Times, by Bill Saporito, a former editor of Fortune:
Not content to steer the ship of state, our president apparently wants to run the ship of commerce, too.
Literally. The entire Fortune 500.
In ripping up numerous business regulations, Donald Trump seems intent on replacing them with himself. The recipient corporations don’t necessarily want Mr. Trump’s meddling, particularly given his fun house view of economics, but they can’t get away from it. They won’t necessarily benefit, and neither will we.
Love it, especially the global view stippled with Saporito’s wit.
On a second reading, I love how lovingly Saporito diminishes Trump as a credible force at anything.
