Anything at all said by CEO actually means "maximize profits" rather than whatever the words truly mean.

Bold of us here to presume that he could ever get it up but yeah, it's definitely some kind of infatuation - "when I grow up, I wanna be just like daddy Nixon!":-P

So many things to come out of that administration... including admirers like Roger Stone who then turned it into a blueprint for Trump to follow to make authoritarianism great again! :-(

Don't forget the rest of your phrase there: justify... "to who"?

If to you, he would have to do a LOT more than he has, for you to still buy in despite seeing that.

To them, merely having the title of "CEO" seems to be enough, to those who refuse to dig deeper. pOsItIoN oF aUtHoRiTaH.

They will be shocked, Shocked I tell you, SHOCKED when their money goes poof.

Put another way, your question presupposes several things, e.g. "In a fair world, how could that be allowed to happen!?".

BTW, Donald Trump lowered the funding for the SEC, the agency responsible for investigation of financial fraud matters. Also he + the Republican Congress lowered the funding for the IRS too. After ACTUALLY "defunding the police" with his right hand - while simultaneously claiming that the leftists wanted to "defund the police" with his left - we will see a lot more of this than we did in the past.

In the past, criminals feared the police and did not want to get caught. Now that there are fewer investigations into financial frauds... we have FA, and we are about to FO.

Bc profits. They invested in his name brand recognition and want to maximize their return. "Logic" has nothing to do with this - it is "Greed".
