Democrats, Trump's Decline, and the Long Game

Kara shifts to a forward-looking risk question: if Trump is visibly declining — she believes he looks unwell, his polls have cratered among key demographics, and Republicans are starting to push back — why would the Ellisons entrench themselves now? The reputational hit will outlast the administration, and state attorneys general are already preparing to challenge the CBS merger. Scott's response is two-part: the deal still hasn't closed, meaning Trump has leverage today, and two, the record of Democratic political consequences for pro-Trump corporations is thin. Tech executives who cosied up to Trump — from Satya Nadella to Jensen Huang — emerged with government contracts and regulatory wins. Scott argues the Democrats, for all their outrage, have historically been too cautious to follow through with the kind of punishment that would shift corporate calculations. Kara disagrees, saying the Democrats she has spoken to privately are not in a 'bygones' mood.
