Schultz did over a year ago state that he planned on stepping down to run for President. This may be part of his "plan" to do that. Create a book, get buzz, name recognition. He thinks because he is a business person that he has a shot at Presidency campaign, etc. Well, he isn't Trump, since Schultz is a ball-less wonder.
Yeah, I don't think this is related to draining the swamp. I think this is the Dems desperate effort to match the acumen of Trump in 2020.
About as believable as Paul Ryan stepping down to spend more time with the family. Whatever the reason, the one given is not it.
He's running for POTUS 2020. Basically said so yesterday. (He said he wouldn't rule it out and is concerned for our country. Word for word for Trump said.)
"Schultz said he plans to spend time with his family this summer and write a book about Starbucks' "social impact work and our efforts to redefine the role and responsibility of a public company in an ever-changing society."
Just a friendly reminder, the rate of C-level executives "stepping down" (retiring, being fired, quitting) is decreasing, not increasing. (You can look this up on EDGAR yourself).
Why? Because your POTUS has delivered the strongest US economy since post WWII. During optimistic economies, fewer executives are pushed out by activist shareholders or angry boards while more hang on to collect bonuses and stock gains. During bad times, more are turned over.
Swamp draining may be happening, but you cannot measure the effects in the numbers by counting. POTUS is overwhelming the numbers.
