No chief executive at the nation’s 100 largest companies had donated to Republican Donald Trump’s presidential campaign through August, a sharp reversal from 2012, when nearly a third of the CEOs of Fortune 100 companies supported GOP nominee Mitt Romney.Trump certainly is a different kind of Republican.
During this year’s presidential primaries, 19 of the nation’s top CEOs gave to other Republican candidates, including former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of campaign donations.
Since then, most have stayed on the sidelines, with 89 of the 100 top CEOs not supporting either presidential nominee, and 11 backing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

CEOs Don't Like Trump
The Wall Street Journal:
Big Business 1%ers don't like brave champion of the common man. Typical. Big business is a dangerous, anti-conservative force. We don't need bought robots like Rubot, Crooked Hillary, and Mitt Rmoney. We need a candidate subservient to nobody.
