In private, the leaders of some of the countrys best-known companies say that a number of White House policies have been bad for their businesses and possibly illegal, per the results of a survey from Yale School of Management, Axios reports.
Some results:
* 71% of the CEOs said tariffs were harmful to their businesses.
* 74% said that the courts were correct to find that the Trumps tariffs are illegal as executed.
* 80% said that the president was not acting in the countrys best interest by pressuring Fed chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates.
* 76% said that Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. is putting U.S. public health at risk.
