Since the tariff decisions came down, Elrod has moved to Georgia and isn’t as involved in day-to-day operations. But he’s still heavily invested in the company, financially and emotionally. That’s why it was particularly devastating when the tariffs killed a potential deal to sell Eccotemp to a private equity firm, which would have allowed it to keep growing while ensuring his retirement.
And despite all these, Republicans still love Trump:
Elrod says that despite it all, he still plans to vote for Trump in November, citing the administration’s friendlier stance to his company on regulations. As for draining the swamp, Elrod doesn’t blame the president.
trump has a steve jobs like power over them. no matter how much they are hurt by his actions, they will always love him. love is the only word to describe how they feel about him
That's remarkable, even though I cannot see it, I guess Trump does have some sort of charisma over his supporters. Probably anything he'd do, no matter how bad, that won't make a dent in his base...
