American CEOs are thrilled with Trump

There is perhaps no greater compliment CEOs can give Trump than this: U.S. businesses now expect to hire more workers and sell more stuff in the next six months because executives are optimistic about Trump’s agenda. “America’s business leaders are encouraged by President-elect Trump’s pledge to boost economic growth,” says Doug Oberhelman, CEO of Caterpillar (CAT) and chair of the Business Roundtable, a major business advocacy group that says it has been talking with the transition team.

Key Takeaways:

  • Businesses now expect to hire more workers and sell more stuff in the next six months because executives are optimistic about Trump’s agenda.
  • Oberhelman gave a big thumbs up to Trump’s plans to cut corporate taxes, spend more on infrastructure and scale back regulation.
  • Trump went after Boeing (BA) saying he wants to cancel the government’s contract to build a new air force one because costs are “out of control.”

“There is perhaps no greater compliment CEO s can give Trump than this: U.S. businesses now expect to hire more workers and sell more stuff in the next six months because executives are optimistic about Trump’s agenda.”
