Keep the boycott going and deepen it, but so far hardly anyone has noticed in the stock market.

For someone whose business was initially construction, Trump has proved his real passion is for destroying anything and anyone with more power and money than he has.

Universities, media, corporations.

But in reality, his passion is the utter destruction of everything around him.

Instead of worrying about upsetting 30 % of the MAGA crazies, it's time corporations starting worrying about 70% of the rest of us!

Has Disney's management changed since then? I curious why they lost their will to fight. Seems like they could have stood beside Kimmel and went public with the FCC threats.

But ABC/Disney have struggled recently. ESPN was losing money.

Disney’s stock value lost $4 billion. Their market capitalization is in the high $200 billion range, I believe. Stock values go up and down all the time. This fall of the stock price represents less than 2% of the company’s capitalization.

Kimmel’s salary is pretty much unrelated to Disney’s stock price.
