A month before his inauguration, and shortly after he had finished a round of golf with Tiger Woods, Donald Trump was introduced to an adviser of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the chief advocacy group for American corporations. Stanton Anderson stood in the clubhouse of Mr. Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., and extended his hand to the president-elect. Mr. Trump refused it. “You guys did everything to stop me,” Mr. Trump said, his face reddening, according to two people who were there. “I haven’t forgotten.” In the two years since, relations between Mr. Trump and Washington’s biggest lobbying organization

When I read this, I rec´d such satisfaction out of the fact that President Trump "refused" the handshake of the CoC rep. Then they had to stand there while being dressed down for their
previous actions during the campaign.
After years and years of putting up with the lies and smears of the left, it is such a pleasure and relief to know that we *finally* have a "Republican" President who will not suffer such milquetoast fools.

THESE asshats are the biggest supporters of open borders. They are the reason we had a puke like Paul Ryan harming the country for years. Ryan got his marching orders from Donahue at USCoC.
The US Chamber of Commerce is an evil cabal, and I am glad that Trump is freezing their destructive, anti-American butts out.
Great news!
GO TRUMP! MAGA!
FTA:"After Mr. Trump clinched the Republican nomination, the chamber ratcheted up criticism of his “America First” trade policies, warning that millions of jobs would be lost. The next day, at a campaign rally in Bangor, Maine, Mr. Trump said the chamber was “controlled totally by various groups of people that don’t care about you whatsoever.”
Their leader, Donahue is a very bad guy, worthy of being despised by Americans. He wants more and more illegals coming here, staying here and WORKING here, taking our jobs, stealing educations, housing and doing a LOT of crime.

Reining in the Chamber of Crony Capitalism who makes the DC Establishment RICH and the RINOs roar, is a good sign.
Now if he can rein in the Globalist sellouts in the US State Department, THAT would make a yuuuge difference!!!
Tose folks, along with people like Brennan and his pals in the upper management of the information agencies being used against U.S, would be an every bigger revival of righting the ship of state away from those not loyal to the citizens but to their own bank accounts!
Bravo!

Is it possible for me to love our President any more than I do? Apparently so!

The CofC is why we have Republicans voting with the Democrats, contrary to the view of Republican voters. The CofC does not represent anybody but very rich businessmen that live off the government and government policy.

I was thrilled to see Donald J Trump become President. I knew he would attack the corruption and slobs that have harmed America. He had been talking about doing just that for 30 years. Combine that motivation with the open smear job by the usual traitors and media and I could only pray that after the mass stupid think of the voters for electing 8 years of an open half black 3rd world first fraud, somehow this rich businessman would beat the rigged game.
It is a miracle he won with the kind of election stealing apparatus the DNC has in place. He outsmarted them and attacked districts the rats were sure were a lock. Now he is waking up more and more TV educated voters, by accomplishing things the TV said was impossible. They were impossible under the old game.
President Trump has done more than I hoped for. It is a modern political miracle that he has been able to do what he has, given the hyper level of resistance in and out of government. I pray for all of us he can continue to wreck the evil structure of the Deep State Swamp.

FTA: ´´The chamber has acknowledged, however, that industry plays a role in rising temperatures. It has also proposed short-term policy changes to address climate change, such as increased federal research funding on clean energy.´´
Why not spend your OWN money on this research instead of MINE aka TAXES?

Great article. I hurt myself laughing, then trying to quit laughing. President Trump has single-handedly made America Great Again and totally without the help of the C of C. They can take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut.
At least MY president is not a 2-faced sack of bodily matter like the front guy from the Chamber. Daddy called those people Glad Handers.

The Chamber of Crony Capitalists is getting the big smack down and well deserved. It´s Mitch´s favorite place to hang out for Happy Hour.

Don´t trust the Chamber especially Donahue who is for open borders and illegals. Donahue ran the Republican House with giving out kickbacks. Just ask Rep. John Boehner and Paul Ryan.

I didn’t see the turtles name mentioned in this thread. Tom Donahue says jump, and Mitch McConnell says, ‘How high?’.

That they approached Paul Ryan as Donahue´s replacement indicates the leadership wants to change the players, not the rigged game.

The CoC is not the chief voice for American corporations. They are the chief voice for a few globalist rich greedy corporations who are in America!

God bless President Trump- He does it just about like I would. I would have loved to have been there when "The Don" ghosted this Chamber ass-hat.

"Washington´s Biggest Lobbyist, the U.S.

There are TRILLIONS of GLOBALIST dollars being uprooted by the Trumpster and theses a**holes are doing everything to stop him. Stay with the President, folks.
