Remember all those (exactly) 1 million dollar "donations" all those CEOs were giving to Trump's inaugural campaign? Those weren't donations, they were bribes and kissing of the ring. Pledge loyalty (and pay a small fee) and the government will work for you.
Except if you're Google or Facebook. Trump will accept your money and still fuck you over. Why anyone trusts him is beyond me.
They don't trust him, but they don't want to get on his bad side. They're basically hoping that he'll ignore them or forget about them, and focus his attention on his other enemies.
Worked out for Apple. Timmy Cook was able to get an exemption on the tariffs for cell phones.
There are a huge swath of self-serving, inwardly thinking, assholes that see themselves in Trump. That's why they love him. With him leading they can be unabashedly racist and sexist... in other words they get to be themselves.
