    Shareholders in a company whose entire business is around being well liked globally thinks it would be a bad business move to cancel a program that is part of a good public image in favor of placating a relatively small chunk of Americans that would both be paying attention and against DEI.

    They could still be pro-Trump, and not really caring about DEI, but they know the value of optics in the context of a company like Disney.
