@Matt Visor : 我认为特朗普将墨西哥湾改名为"美国湾"的举动并非源于其个人想法,而是从一个玩笑开始,逐渐被保守派影响者和特朗普本人采纳。最初,科尔伯特在节目中用"美国湾"命名慈善基金,之后一位密西西比州议员也以此为玩笑。保守派网络红人Kevin Posobiec在墨西哥湾游玩时突发奇想,并在社交媒体上提及"美国湾",其推文被其兄弟转发,最终可能影响到了特朗普。特朗普通过行政命令更改名称,这一举动遭到墨西哥反对,美国国会也有人提出相关立法,但立法比行政命令更难推翻。许多大型公司,包括谷歌、苹果和必应等,都遵从了特朗普的命令,更改了地图上的名称。然而,一些新闻机构,如美联社和《华盛顿邮报》,拒绝更改名称,并因此与白宫发生冲突。这一事件反映了特朗普的世界观和外交策略,即美国占据主导地位。 @Emily Stewart : 我认为许多公司对特朗普政府的政策感到不安和不确定,这影响了他们的商业决策。特朗普政府对多元化、公平和包容性倡议的反对,导致许多公司减少或暂停相关举措,以避免成为目标。一些公司为了避免与特朗普政府发生法律纠纷,迅速与特朗普达成和解,支付了巨额款项。大型科技和媒体公司对特朗普政府的恐惧,部分原因在于他们需要考虑股东利益,并避免成为政府的目标。一些公司因其营销活动而面临来自右翼的强烈抵制,这表明与特朗普政府合作也存在风险。并非所有公司都屈服于压力,一些公司坚持其多元化、公平和包容性倡议,内部行动比公开声明更重要。
