This will be a natural for Trump to pick up. He loves a winner and loves publicity. This checks both boxes.

The Sky is falling
Skyfall
...and things like that.

Sounds like a corporate boardroom decision with likely the publicity negatives starting to outweigh the positives. That's how Rabo suddenly ended although they gave team a bit more time to plan for future. Still took until this year for team to refind its feet.

That is still very short notice, not a heck a lot of time between now and July and many multi-year rider contracts on the line: https://www.velonews.com/2018/12/news/timeline-how-the-sky-news-played-out_482176
