Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger is not running for president in 2020 after considering it, but on Wednesday he outlined what would have been his central campaign themes
, but on Wednesday he outlined what would have been his central campaign themes.
“I think that America is gravely in need of optimism, of looking at the future and believing that so many things are going to be all right, or that we as a nation can attack some of the most critical problems of our day,” he said. Iger said that he was “disturbed” that the next generations won’t have the same sense of opportunity, either for the same kind of success that he has had or to fulfill some other kind of dream, “even if the dream is just leading a life that feels safe and comfortable, where the air can breathed. Those sorts of things.”
“The lack of collaboration, the lack of communication, the lack of trust that exists in our federal government is appalling,” he said. “I have some hope for local governments, because I don’t think you can get anything done on a national level.”
