But for Disney to so readily retreat from a free speech fight before Trump is even in the White House? CEOs from tech and media have been practically tripping over one another to make their pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago since Trump won reelection last month. Still, it’s silly to suggest that Iger and Disney are somehow immune from the Trump Effect. Sure, Iger isn’t jetting down to Palm Beach like his fellow CEOs to dine with the incoming president. Bottom line: Iger isn’t going to kiss the ring quite as transparently as some of his peers.
