This is a power demonstration by Trump. This is a way to show that he is in charge. This is nothing new, every tyrant government wants to the keep their wealthiest citizens in check.

This looks very alike the earliest days of Putin in Russia.

These are also the courtesans paying homage to the new king.

Completely agree.

These are some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. And they bent their knee for Trump, some more willingly than others.

It's clearly a warning for the rest: fall in line now or face the consequences.
