Greene expects Trump's controversial remarks and the combative environment of the presidential campaign soon will be behind the president-elect and not an influence during his transition to the White House. Trump’s campaign, he suggested, could teach industry a lesson.

“A lot of the polls didn’t foresee this happening. I think the folks going to the polls weren’t talking to the pollsters or weren’t providing information when they voted. Trump as a man and candidate was listening to people, was listening to the concerns that existed in our country,” Greene said.

“Just like government has to listen to constituents, industry needs to do a better job listening to its consumers.”

And while Trump’s lack of experience in policy issues is widely noted, Greene does not expect that to generate problems for industries. “When we have presidents like this, they surround themselves with experts,” he said.
