Nearly three-quarters of U.S. respondents said their own employer, in particular, was a mainstay of trust. “Business has to help the country knit itself back together, to be the connective tissue, while the politics are sorted out,” said Richard Edelman, the company’s chief executive.in institutions amid anxiety about corruption, future employment prospects and the wage gap between the rich and middle classes.

Yikes! For many reasons.

Trust to do what? I have faith that if I tell a businessman to do X, he’ll get it done... but he won’t give a damn about the externalities created by his doing X. Businessmen are single minded. Some days that’s good; some days it’s an unmitigated disaster.
