Hayes Brown, MSNBC- Moral fortitude has never been a prominent character trait of the obscenely wealthy. Even so, as the White House remains up for grabs, it has been discouraging to see multiple billionaires and CEOs hedging their bets as to avoid being found on a future President Donald Trump’s bad side.On the one hand, trying to stay in the good graces of a president is business as usual for the corporate elite. They like to spread out donations between parties, ensuring favor with whomever comes out on top. But banking on a second Trump administration to deliver the same results this time around could prove a bad bet from America’s 1 percent, one that could leave them not just morally bankrupt but financially as well.
