Ken Griffin, founder of the $63 billion Citadel hedge fund, blasted Donald Trump's attempts to influence business decisions as corporate leaders grow increasingly frustrated with political meddling. The billionaire investor argued many CEOs find Trump's pressure tactics inappropriate for modern governance during a Wall Street Journal interview.

As one of the Republican Party's largest donors, Griffin's criticism carries weight in financial and political circles. His remarks reflect growing tensions between corporate America and populist policymakers seeking to sway market operations. The Citadel chief has donated over $150 million to GOP causes since 2020 but maintains an independent stance on economic issues.

Griffin revealed he's considering entering politics himself, though he declined to specify potential roles or timelines. The move could impact financial markets given Citadel's role as one of the world's largest market makers. His dual position as financier and potential candidate creates unique challenges for maintaining neutral business operations.
