Don Knight on Substack. American CEOs think they're buying protection by giving Trump money. But here's what they don't understand: this exact same playbook already happened in Russia. Weak oligarchs who gave Putin money to stay on his good side eventually ended up dead-and Kremlin loyalists took over their companies. Zuckerberg. Bezos. Tim Cook. You didn't buy safety, you displayed weakness. And that was a tragic mistake.

Yesterday, the first post under a story about the plane crash was "thank God we have a transportation secretary now who shows up and does the job". The day went downhill from there. I'm there for some groups I love but can't do it much longer.
