The White House is reportedly keeping a secret scorecard that ranks U.S. companies based on their loyalty to Donald Trump.
According to a report by Axios, the spreadsheet lists 533 companies and trade groups, grading them on whether they back Trump’s agenda — especially his signature tax-and-spending bill, which insiders call “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
The companies are rated as strong, moderate, or low supporters. What determines their rank? Public praise, social media posts, press releases, ads, showing up at White House events, and even making testimonial videos.
A White House official told Axios, “The ranking helps us see who really goes out and helps vs those who just come in and pay lip service.”
Companies that scored high include: DoorDash, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Uber, AT&T, Cisco, Airlines for America, and Steel Manufacturers Association.
AT&T made the list after announcing plans to speed up its fiber buildout, crediting Trump’s “pro-investment policies.” Airlines for America praised the $12.5 billion boost to air traffic control included in the bill.
The spreadsheet is described as a “living document”, which means companies can move up or down based on future actions. A White House source said: “If groups/companies want to start advocating more now for the tax bill or additional administration priorities, we will take that into account in our grading.”
While it’s unclear who ranks at the bottom, clean energy companies likely don’t fare well, having publicly slammed Trump’s rollback of green energy incentives.
Trump has also taken shots at major Wall Street players. On Truth Social, he mocked Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon after the firm warned about the economic impact of tariffs. Trump wrote that Solomon should “focus on being a DJ” and “not bother running a major financial institution.”
He’s also publicly attacked JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America, accusing both of refusing to accept over $1 billion in deposits.
In response, Trump signed an executive order barring banks from denying service based on political views — a move likely to stir even more tension in the financial world.
Meanwhile, the White House is keeping a second list — tracking what it calls the “Trump Effect.” This list highlights investments in U.S. manufacturing and production that have come during Trump’s second term, especially when linked to favorable treatment from the administration.
In recent weeks, some companies have gone to extreme lengths to stay in Trump’s good graces:
Nvidia agreed to let the U.S. government take 15% of its China revenue in order to restart exports that Trump had previously blocked.
Apple CEO Tim Cook pledged to invest $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing. He also gave Trump a glass plaque with a 24-carat gold base. In return, Apple avoided a threatened 100% tariff on foreign microchips.
The message is simple and chilling: Support Trump — or risk paying the price.
