The president is in charge of executing the law. It’s in our system of checks and balances. I’m choosing to speak at an extremely general level, of course, but that is the answer to your question.

Specifically, I think it's "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" (Art. II, §3).
Does that mean "If foreign companies don't like our laws, they can pay to have them adjusted"? Seems not very faithful, but I hardly understand that word anymore it feels like.
From your second line, the answer is mostly no. Why are you assuming otherwise? Who is paying what to who?
Edit for anyone confused:
GP comment changed significantly (for the better).
It means whatever SCOTUS decides it means, unless and until they decide otherwise.
So can Trump legally ignore this SCOTUS or not? :)
