Why it matters: Trump is keeping a list of CEOs and corporations he believes have wronged him or backed his rivals. Business leaders wary of retribution have been reaching out and playing nice.

Reality check: Business leaders are calling Trump, but he’s still seeing the lowest level of financial contributions from Corporate America in a century, Sonnenfeld says.

The bottom line: Even if CEOs of America’s major corporations aren’t fans of Trump, they don’t want to be on his bad side if he wins back the White House.
