America ’s largest technical school companies made a big , public fuss after President Trump vowed to pull out of the Paris Climate Accord earlier this month . But top executives from many of those same companies are meeting with extremity of the Trump government this hebdomad . Who require principle when there ’s money to be made ?
Yes , this hebdomad is officially Technology Week at the White House . And while the list of cowards encounter with Trump has been kept reasonably quiet by the engineering science company themselves , we now have a better idea of who will be kissing Trump ’s fundament . And virtually all of the common suspects will be there .
Axios has a leaning of the engineering science diligence collaborators that will be in Washington , DC for meetings held today andon Thursday . Some mass like IBM ’s Ginni Rometty have been longtime Trump allies , unapologetic in theirsupport for Trump . Others , like Apple CEO Tim Cook , have pretended like they ’re outraged with President Trump in public , but cover to work with him behind closed doors .

Here ’s the tilt that we know aboutso far :
Apple ’s Tim Cook
Amazon ’s Jeff Bezos

Alphabet ’s Eric Schmidt
Microsoft ’s Satya Nadella
Palantir ’s Alex Karp

IBM ’s Ginni Rometty
Intel ’s Brian Krzanich
seer ’s Safra Catz

Adobe ’s Shantanu Narayen
Qualcomm ’s Steven Mollenkopf
OpenGov ’s Zachary Bookman

VMware ’s Pat Gelsinger
Akamai ’s Tom Leighton
SAP ’s Bill McDermott

Accenture ’s Julie Sweet
Kleiner Perkins ’ John Doerr
But that ’s not all . technical school industry administrator from approximately 18 American governance are schedule to meet at the White House this workweek during meeting organized by Trump ’s terribly unqualified son - in - jurisprudence Jared Kushner and his equally unqualified wife Ivanka Trump .

The meeting are reportedly focus on crap government more effective , and will tinge on everything from cybersecurity to drone pipe to the Internet of Things to database system . There ’s a whole lot of money to be made with the Modern White House Office of American Innovation . And party are amount with their hands out .
Peter Thiel will be there as well , to no one ’s surprise . Thiel was a huge part of Trump ’s transition team , though it ’s undecipherable precisely what job championship he may have within the White House at this full point . But there are a few notable mass skipping the meetings this workweek . Uber ’s Travis Kalanick was one of the former to send away out of an advisory role to Trump under public pressure . And so far it count like Elon Musk has kept his word to stop advise Trump after he pull the US out of the Paris Climate Accord .
Facebook wo n’t have anyone at the coming together either , as Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg are reportedly not on the list . But what about the others ? obviously tech executives do n’t count it too risky to be seen with Trump these day . Many of them are n’t proud of their association , but they ’re not embarrassed enough to withdraw their funding for Trump and his racist , mean policies .

An unnamed functionary at the White House secernate CBS News that there has been “ near no fallback ” due to the Trump regime ’s decision to pull out of the Paris agreement .
“ Some like the decision , some did n’t like the decisiveness , but they see a bigger family relationship and they ’ve been very happy with the level of talks that comes out of this White House , and with the United States President , ” the officialtold CBS News .
So why do technical school CEOs continue to meet with a authorities that ’s campaign the US further into an authoritarian dystopia with each passing day ? Because there ’s no downside for them . They need moneymaking contracts with the regime and will continue to encounter with the Trump authorities because they ’re feeling dead no pressure from the American populace to alter their ways .

Meanwhile , people of principle are dropping from the Trump regime like flies . Six members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV / AIDS ( PACHA ) resigned over the weekendin protest , say that Trump “ has no strategy to address the on - going HIV / AIDS epidemic . ”
But as long as President Trump can get photo - ops with top technical school executive director , he can help control the word cycle and seem to be helping the country , no matter how much literal hurt he ’s doing to America every single day .
Ironically , all Trump demand to do now in order for his Technology Week to be a succeeder is to bide off Twitter so that his attorney do n’t need to run damage control and right away contradicteverything he says .

Holy crap . This telephone exchange between Chris Wallace and Trump ’s lawyer is absolutely incredible.pic.twitter.com/Wem33Lc1VK
