I wouldn't call that his trump card. His trump card is probably exactly how Denver Smith spells it out in his scathing his letter: His shares and his buddy on the board. US Foods is a business deal, and they are not one voice, and I'm sure this business arrangement isn't all personal. The deal doesn't stand or fall with our CEO. It stands or falls on the business. Is it good or bad for them? That's how they have always looked at it and always will I'm sure.
As for him burning down the business as his "trump card," then he shoots himself in the foot. All his shares go down in flames with him. Or, he could stand to benefit like the rest of us with his removal. *Assuming* Pappas and Banderas see eye to eye with Denver Smith. The votes are there.
Either way, doesn't matter. They may see lift off. Or, *everybody* crashes and burns with Sam. Which is the only way it should be. Vested interests on the titanic are underwater already, so it's a very fair arrangement as I see it. I say let the cards fall where they fall.
