Subject: How fearful of Trump is the Alabama business community?
To Alabama chambers of commerce and others:
The news story
Trump demands 'highly conflicted' Intel CEO resign over China ties prompts me to ask you about how fearful the Alabama business community is of Trump.
As I have previously tried to say to you, my opinion is that Trump's overriding motivation at this juncture in his life is to be, and show to the world that he is, the most powerful and consequential President (for good or bad) in the history of the United States.
For that, I believe Trump is hellbent on mowing down any and all checks and restraints that impede his gaining ever more power in his relentless quest to be the most powerful and consequential United States President ever.
Trump has been incredibly successful towards that end during the past nine months.
A chief tool Trump wields is that of instilling fear in anyone who opposes him or speaks against him.
Such fear is infectious and builds on itself, in that, as some parties succumb to Trump out of fear, other parties are more likely to succumb and do succumb to Trump, and that further grows the fear of Trump.
The fear includes fear of being shunned by other parties with whom one has business (or other) relationships, because one perceives the other parties as being fearful of being associated with someone who speaks against Trump, and for that reason one chooses not to speak against Trump.
Please tell me how pervasive you think fear of Trump is in the Alabama business community as to result in the foregoing phenomenon of people in the community being unwilling to speak up against Trump. (I appreciate that your answering this inquiry is a lose/lose proposition that, if you say people are not fearful, that may encourage people not to be fearful and to speak up, and, if you say people are fearful, that may cause people to decide not to be ruled by fear and to speak up against Trump.)
Thank you.

Dear Alabama chambers of commerce and others:
Does the Alabama business community say, "Fire any employee who speaks ill of Charlie Kirk."?
Or, does the Alabama business community say, "Let us and our employees take heed of what Charlie Kirk says"? To wit, Charlie Kirk says:
“When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts… when you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group. What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have reasonable disagreement where violence is not an option.” DR. CHLOE CARMICHAEL: Charlie Kirk’s Final Warning: Don’t Stop Talking – IJR
Or third choice, say and do nothing.
So, Alabama business community, whatcha gonna do in your sphere of influence over your employees?
Thank you.

Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The condition of the Department of Justice and its FBI and other emails I have sent to President Helmsing that are posted at
Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Alabama collaborator lawyers and Alabama resister lawyers.
This email sends you a gift copy of yesterday's The Wall Street Journal editorial "Lawfare for Dummies, Monetary Edition: DOJ’s criminal subpoena to Fed Chair Jerome Powell is a self-defeating fiasco."
The editorial begins by saying: "In the annals of political lawfare there’s dumb, and then there’s the criminal subpoena federal prosecutors delivered Friday to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. President Trump would do himself and the country a big favor by firing those responsible for this fiasco."
The gift copy of the full editorial is at

As you know, I believe that Trump is destroying the rule of law in America and that the Alabama State Bar should speak to Alabamians about that.
Further, the rule of law is critically important to the American economy and business, and the Powell matter is a further attack by Trump on the rule of law that should be of special interest to the Alabama business community. Accordingly, I am copying on this email Alabama chambers of commerce.

Dear Trussville Chamber of Commerce:
On his
Facebook, Alabama 6th Congressional district candidate Maurice Mercer posted about his attending Coffee & Contacts at the Trussville Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
Candidate Mercer expressed:
"it’s important to me to hear not only from residents, but also from the business community. Small businesses create jobs, drive innovation, and help shape the future of our communities. I want to listen and understand their ideas, opportunities, and wins to ensure I know the issues affecting our district and local economy."
I am trying to elevate the Rule of Law in the Alabama 2026 general elections as indicated at
Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Rule of Law in Alabama 2026 general elections.
I think the Rule of Law is, or should be, extremely important to the Alabama business community. Further I think Donald Trump is doing great damage to the Rule of Law in ways that are harmful to the business community, and Trump needs to be stopped.
In the Rule of Trump (as opposed to the Rule of Law), the corruption of Trump is becoming monumental in exchanges that go on between Trump and other parties, including foreign parties, in which Trump and the Trump family receive financial benefits from the other parties, and the other parties receive governmental actions from Trump that the other parties desire.
This Rule of Trump extends to other parties not opposing anything Trump does, out of fear of Trump's power to punish the other parties, including by using the Department of Justice against the other parties.
I am in the 6th Congressional district, and I desire to agitate the six Congressional candidates (Maurice Mercer, Keith Pilkington, Case Dixon, Ashtyn Kennedy, Gary Palmer and Jacob Bouma-Sims) about the Rule of Law and Trump corruption, as well as agitate local chambers of commerce and other local parties.
Accordingly, I am copying the six Congressional candidates on this email.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
