imo, the problem is, as the CEO states, the apparent random social media posts of the Pres Trump.

The corporate world likes certainty.

Pres Trump's social media posts have been, I'll be kind' disjoint and almost random, at best.

Pres Trump's social media posts have been

"Whew! Makes me glad I don't use Twitter." said the Ostrich, nervously looking for the nearest patch of sand. The first syllable of it's unctuous name was enough warning for me.

It's hard to imagine the largest, wealthiest, and most sophisticated controllers of massive sums of money would be vulnerable to making rash decisions based on a social media post from someone who they already know is quite immature with his posts.
