America's biggest corporations have been stunned by President Trump's breakneck pace as he starts his second term - and are working round the clock to catch up. 

Trump has gotten straight to work by signing dozens of executive orders, launching a $500 billion AI venture and firing thousands of White House staffers.

In several areas, corporate elites are scrambling to deal with the president's often chaotic nature on some bills that could dramatically affect their businesses.

JPMorgan Chase, whose CEO Jamie Dimon had back-channel communications with Trump in late 2024, has launched a 'war room' to deal with the president's actions. 

Staff members have been encouraged to study Trump's many executive orders and then send their analysis straight to Dimon.

Bank of America and Citigroup are launching similar rooms to help their international business understand how dramatically America has just changed. 

Some corporations are preparing for Trump's promised mass deportation program by establishing contacts with a legal hotline.

Fisher Phillips, a top law firm, says many companies have tapped into their rapid-response immigration team, with some clients worried that they may be raided by immigration enforcement. 

'We're already getting calls,' the law firm's immigration co-chair, Shanon Stevenson, told The Wall Street Journal about the 24-hour hotline. 'That's only likely to increase.' 

Clients - who range from construction firms to healthcare workers - have been given a specific number that they can call at the firm to deal with a surprise raid.

Some have even conducted special training sessions or posted guides to dealing with a raid at their offices. 

One law firm, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, launched a blog tracking Trump's various executive orders. 

At least one company, 3M, is worried about the president's plan to begin putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada, where half of their imports come from.
