Disney doesn't care about winning. Disney cares about stock price. If line goes up Disney will clam up no questions asked.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Very true, but investors are sensitive to changes in the wind. Trump is looking very weak these days, and any company who allows themselves to be cowed by his parlor tricks will lose investor confidence.

That sounds like a pretty significant change in behavior to me. Do you have any reason to believe this is true and not just wishful thinking?
I mean, just last year Disney learned the hard way that acquiescing to Trump's whim invites volatility when they suspended Jimmy Kimmel in June. Subscribers fled in droves, they had to bring him back on... It was a shit show they're unlikely to want to repeat.
The easy solution is to make no publicly visible moves and wait patiently.
Trump's strength or weakness doesn't really have too much bearing. The minute he is replaced they will adjust their tune accordingly for the new guy. Investors like Trump. The market is at a high.
Who's going to stop Trump? Trump's FCC? Trump's Supreme Court? Seems unlikely...
Disney. They're huge. Not rolling over combined with TACO is a guaranteed strategy. Or it will at least buy them 2 more weeks before TACO.
Disney does has two worrying tendencies. 1. Nazism and 2. Doing whatever will bring the greatest profits. Everything else is irrelevant.
Point 2 applies to pretty much every large company I can think of.
2 has to apply to every large company. You don't become a large company unless you relentlessly pursue profit.
That's a gigantic "if".
No. They'll ruin Kimmel, then go full North Korea.
Disney probably has more leverage lol
Yeah, hopefully they fight tooth and nail
