Former President Donald Trump's presentation at the Business Roundtable's quarterly meeting failed to resonate with many top CEOs. Participants described Trump as lacking clarity and detail in his policy explanations, particularly concerning tax reductions and deregulation. Attendees noted his speech was "meandering" and "all over the map," contrasting sharply with his earlier, more lively interactions with House Republicans. His campaign communications director insisted he was well-received, highlighting his commitment to deregulation and tax cuts. However, skepticism remained among the CEOs, some initially open to supporting Trump but left the meeting less inclined to do so.
