On Saturday, a spokesperson for Koch and his brother David, expressed anger at President Donald Trumps trade war and the divisiveness he has brought to the country, saying it is bad for business.
The divisiveness of this White House is causing long-term damage, explained Koch exec Brian Hooks told reporters. When in order to win on an issue someone else has to lose, it makes it very difficult to unite people and solve the problems in this country. You see that on trade: In order to get to a good place on trade, convince the American people that trade is bad.

According to Tarini Parti from Buzzfeed News, she asked Koch about the protectionist policies adopted by the Trump administration and whether he regretted backing lawmakers who support them. Koch admitted that in the future he would be much stricter about who he donated to and that he planned to hold anyone he backed accountable.
Asked if he would support Democrats, Koch replied, I dont care what initials are in front of or after somebodys name, and that a Democratic majority House was something he could live with.
