Trump’s unpredictable style unnerves biz

Unnerves might not be the right word. How about "intimidated"? I'm guessing that the CEOs of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup wouldn't dare miss a meeting with president-elect Trump like Lloyd Blankfein, John Mack, and Dick Parsons did with President Obama back in 2009 (citing weather as an excuse for their absence).

That 2009 meeting was the day after Obama had called Wall Street executives "fat cats." They may have to get used to being called much worse (and penalized) under a Trump administration.
