Warren Buffett: Here's why I haven't been criticizing Donald Trump
At a time when corporate leaders have been highly critical of President Donald Trump over his response to deadly violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett has remained quiet, telling CNBC on Wednesday he tries not to mix business and politics.
Im not in the business of attacking any president, nor do I think I should be, Buffett said in a Squawk Alley interview.
Earlier this month, a deluge of CEOs distanced themselves from Trump in the wake of Charlottesville by leaving White House business advisory councils, which were later dissolved.
The tipping point for corporate America seemed to come Aug. 15 when the president angrily doubled down on his original comments about the deadly rally, and again blamed both the white nationalists and the counterprotesters for the mayhem.
Trumps critics felt he put neo-Nazis on the same moral footing as the demonstrators who gathered to denounce their racist views.
As a supporter of Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race, Buffett said he was disappointed by the election result. I worked for Hillary. I raised money for Hillary. I voted for Hillary. I was disappointed when she lost..
But Buffett argued, as he has in the past, that this country will move forward [under Trump. ] It is important that government functions well.
I wont say if my candidate doesnt win, and probably half the time they havent, Im going to take my ball and go home, he said.
Earlier on CNBC, Buffett said he does not think the economy feels like its growing at 3 percent, a level Trump and his administration have set as a goal for what they view as their business-friendly economic agenda of tax cuts and infrastructure spending.
Buffett, who turned 87 on Wednesday, said hes lived through 15 of the 45 presidents. Forty-five presidents of the United States and I lived under a third of them, he said. I bought stocks under 14 of the 15.
The first one was [President Herbert] Hoover. I was only 2 when he left so I hadnt gotten active at that point.
But [ Franklin Delano] Roosevelt was next. And I bought stocks under him, even though my dad thought it was the end of the world when he got elected..
Buffett was in New York City on Wednesday for a private lunch with the winner of an annual auction to benefit Glide, a San Francisco-based homeless charity. The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, paid $2,679,001.

Cristiano Ronaldo takes centre stage in Portugal training ahead of World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands
Cristiano Ronaldo looked in relaxed mood on Wednesday as he bids to lead Portugals charge towards 2018 World Cup qualification.
The Portuguese go into their clash with European minnows, the Faroe Islands, on Thursday in second place in Group B, three points behind leaders Switzerland.
And the Real Madrid star trained alongside his international team-mates near Lisbon ahead of the resumption of their qualification campaign.
Ronaldo, the former Manchester United talisman, looked fired up during the session — although there was time for him to enjoy a joke with his team-mates.
Also taking part in the session was his former team-mate Pepe, who now plies his trade in Turkey with Besiktas.
And Pepe appeared to suffer a painful clash during the session, with the centre back seen rolling around in pain before Fabio Coentrao came to the rescue.
The pair embraced in a hug — and Pepe even gave Coentrao a cheeky kiss on the cheek —before the session got back underway.
Portugal, the Euro 2016 holders sit second in Group B, three points behind leaders Switzerland with four games left to play. After what looks a straightforward test against the Faroes, Portugal face a tougher looking clash away in Hungary on Sunday.
Fernando Santos side drew 3-3 with the Hungarians at the group stage of last years European Championship triumph. Only one country can seal an automatic place from the group at next years World Cup, with second spot leading to a dreaded play-off.
If Ronaldo and Co can keep in touch with the leaders they could face a decisive winner-takes-all clash against Switzerland on October 10.
