The book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff highlights how influential figures from the older Fortune 100 companies played a significant role in Donald Trump's administration. While Trump's rise can be attributed to the support of the new right and its populist agenda, it was the established corporate executives who resonated most with him and gained his favor.

This dynamic underscores a clash between emerging political movements and traditional business interests, illustrating how Trump's connections with legacy leaders shaped his presidency. The interplay between these two factions reveals the complexities of Trump's political alliances and the broader implications for corporate governance and political strategy in America.
