Good morning.

I was back in Atlanta yesterday at the Hope Global Forum, where I interviewed Mick Mulvaney, former chief of staff to President Donald Trump. Among other things, I asked him his view of corporations speaking out on social and political issues. His response:

“I advise corporations that if you are going to get involved in politics, you had better be good at it. You better be at least as good at politics as you are at your business. Because it's a nasty business.”
