Assuming that president isn't beholden to large multi-national corporations and wall street.
I agree with everything you said, CEOs for publicly traded companies are motivated primarily by stock price, often shorter term than what is good for the company long term. This is a problem I am not sure how to properly address.
Trump wants to put tariffs on John Deere equipment produced in Mexico, this is a response to recent layoffs (local interest here) and moving some additional production to Mexico. I am sure this plays well with JD workers, but I am not sure this is a solution.
The claim in the linked article is that farmers are cheering on the tariffs, I don't get this. Farmers are the consumers in this scenario, they will pay the tariffs when they buy equipment. But from a PR standpoint, this is a bad look for John Deere.

I don't know the mechanics of it, but I assume a president could get this done
