On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him.
Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines.

Analysis Summary
Trump incited the January 6 Capitol attack, and corporate leaders initially distanced themselves before reuniting with him after his 2025 return to power. Democracy scholars have documented dramatic erosion of US democratic institutions in Trump's second term—the fastest decline documented in recent history, comparable to autocratic takeovers in Hungary and Turkey but compressed into one year. Reich frames corporate leaders' renewed engagement as motivated by profit rather than principle, a commentary-layer judgment on otherwise verified facts about corporate behavior and democratic decline.
