"We didn't cut a deal with Trump. We did it for our business," Fields told CNN's Poppy Harlow in an exclusive interview Tuesday.

His results are him taking credit for things that were already happening, or people saying nice things after Trump targets them from his bully pulpit. Or a few jobs here and there which look nice but don't have any real impact on the whole economy. |
Those job savings weren't happening without Trump. Sure Trump didn't force their hand or strike a deal, but saying it would have happened anyways is, again, not giving credit where it is due. His policies changed their business decision, exactly as he wanted them to.
And of course they are doing it in support of profits, that is exactly how every business makes literally every decision, and how they should make every decision. Their feduciary duty lies with the shareholders, not to Mexico, free trade, the US, or any one market. Chaseing the almightly buck is everything they ought to be doing.
