"That chaos has the potential to be very bad for business. Tech companies rely on immigrants — including from the predominantly Muslim countries covered by Trump’s temporary travel ban — to fill many of their most important engineering positions. Energy companies count on being able to move workers in and out of countries around the world. Manufacturers have supply chains that cross international borders. Even temporary disruptions to travel and trade could cause problems; more permanent barriers could prove disastrous."

Key point. Companies are slow moving entities and cannot adapt quickly enough when treaties are cancelled, [0] employee movements are restricted and supply chains are disrupted. Stability is a keystone of successful trade.

Which he was elected to end. The Trump presidency isn't that complicated honestly - he was elected to fuck shit up and he's off to a great start.
