Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs, usually a staunch ally of President Trump, said he fears the Trump administration has “lost its way” over its approach to small business.
The television host Wednesday, on his eponymous show “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” critiqued a meeting that day of Trump’s American Workforce Policy Advisory Board, which is tasked with helping Americans prepare for a shift toward automation and artificial intelligence in the workplace.
“What I fear is a new direction for the president and his administration and what could very likely be a catastrophe for the working men and women, small business and entrepreneurs, our middle class, the American family, the very people this president has represented from the moment he announced he would run for the presidency,” Dobbs said.
The meeting, the first of the newly constituted board, included business executives like Apple CEO Tim Cook. The board, which is co-chaired by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, is comprised of 25 members, including the corporate heads of IBM, Walmart, Lockheed Martin, and Home Depot.
