Previously Icahn said to CNBC:

I Do Believe That Donald Being Elected President Was Extremely Positive. Extremely Positive If He Wasn’t Elected And You Had Four More Years Of What We Were Doing, We Were Moving On A Fast Track To Socialism Which I Do Not Believe Works. It Was Extremely Positive That He Was Elected And I Think He’s Going To Do A Very Good Job That’s What I Believe.
