The titans of Wall Street are cowering in fear over Donald Trump's Twitter skills

Representatives from the nation's largest financial institutions are holding off on questioning Donald Trump's economic agenda — but it's not because they don't have any questions. At a private meeting last week in Washington, D.C., Bloomberg reports that financiers decided the cons of inquiring into Trump's plans just might outweigh the pros:
A few key questions emerged: Would Trump's agenda be aligned with the forthcoming proposal from Hensarling and House Speaker Paul Ryan? And should they reach out to Trump's campaign staff to inquire about his economic agenda?According to two people who attended the meeting, the group decided against reaching out after several representatives expressed fears that Trump could criticize them on social media if talks took a bad turn.

Yes, that's right. The nation's largest financial institutions are apparently avoiding the Republican Party's presumptive nominee because they're afraid of what he might tweet.
Instead, the banking representatives have decided to just hold off on forming any opinion at all on Trump, or his economic agenda. "It's hands off, for now," one of the meeting attendees told Bloomberg. "We're not 'Never Trump,' we're just not ready yet."
