Billionaire media mogul Barry Diller told CNBC on Wednesday he “hoped for a repudiation” of President Donald Trump but “that has not happened.”
Diller also said he doesn’t think the outcome of the undecided presidential election will have “any effect on business.”
If anything, “government’s going to be divided. That’s probably good for business,” Diller, a major Democratic donor, said in a “Squawk Box” interview. “The hordes of liberal policies and taxation and all this stuff, forget it, that’s gone for now. Probably for at least four years.”
Diller, chairman of Expedia and IAC, said he was “humbled” by the results so far. “I had hoped for a repudiation” of Trump, but “for all the reasons that are kind of obvious that has not happened.”
