If someone is wondering, why there are now suddenly so many donations to Trump (or settling of lawsuits) happening.
This is an ancient ritual called "kissing the ring" and we are observing it's modern implementation.
The phrase in an an allusion to a traditional manner of expressing obediance to a bishop (especially the pope) or king. You did this by bending your knee and kissing his ring.
All our dukes, barons and earls ... I mean our beloved economic leaders are now falling over their own feet in order to acknowledge the suzerainty of Trump.
My major criticism of Trump (far before any political ideology) is that he wants to rule and not to govern. He wants others to acknowledge his authority. This is far more important to him than what to do with that authority.
One could have sympathies with the company leaders if they were doing it in order to shield their employees from any fallout. But the major reason for them is to protect their own fiefdoms aka billions.
Like his dark master, Trump will have no qualms of wrecking any billionaire if someone crosses him. And the billionaires (quite realistically) believe the chances of the courts to side with them to be marginal. So they demonstrate subservidience.
This gestures are basically publicly saying:
We are willing to throw any employee, principle and user under the bus in order to protect what he have.
