>> poppy harlow, thank you very much. trump ran as a pro-business candidate. but what are the implications? kay le kayleigh, is this a quid pro quo? >> i don't see it as a quid pro quo at all. i see it as a carrots and sticks approach. the carrots he is offering ford or gm are a better economy, an economy where you're not going to be hit with exorbitant taxes where he's promised that the corporate tax rate would be 15% maximum. the stick is the tariff. and i don't see any quid pro quo that something tangible we can point to was given to the ford ceo as a result of keeping jobs here. i think it was a promise of a robust economy going forward. >> the chairman seems to say we have confidence that it'si goin to be a more pro-business economy. >> many republicans and most business people are probably pretty uncomfortable with the notion that whoever the president of the united states decides is going to get up and attack one morning that the market is going to attack them and that he's going to threaten them personally with taxes unless they do what he says. you kn
