Donald Trump may be getting an earful about his “take a knee” fixation this week, but at least one billionaire is focusing on the president’s upside.

“ ‘Bluntly, the only way I can square anything is I focus on what gets done, not what’s said. On a measure of what’s gotten done, I believe there’s been very significant change since Trump was elected in November, and change that is positive.’ ”

That’s Sam Zell of Equity Group Investments explaining to CNBC on Tuesday why American corporations are willing to invest money on a longer-term basis now than during President Obama’s “antibusiness” administration.
