- The White House maintains a confidential list of over 500 companies, ranking them by their willingness to support the Trump administration's agenda, according to Axios.
- Companies are categorised as having low, moderate, or strong support based on criteria such as attendance at White House events, promotion of Trump policies, and public statements.
- Demonstrating alignment with the administration can lead to rewards like federal investments or beneficial policies, while opposition may result in revoked funding or missed opportunities.
- Examples of companies considered “good partners” include Uber, DoorDash, United, and Delta, with Apple's significant US investment leading to tariff exemptions.
- Other companies, such as Meta and Amazon, have adjusted their policies, like scrapping fact-checkers or diversity initiatives, to align with Trump's preferences.
