Trump Bashes Boeing After CEO’s Mild Criticism
« on: December 06, 2016, 08:11:57 pm »
It appears that Trump's Boeing tweet wasn't about saving money but a revenge twitter tantrum for the CEO criticizing him.

Quote
Seemingly out of nowhere on Tuesday morning, President-elect Donald Trump bashed Boeing on Twitter, declaring the company’s costs “out of control,” and saying the government should cancel an order with the company for two new Air Force One jets. As it turns out, that seemingly random outburst against the aerospace company came within an hour after the Chicago Tribune published a column quoting Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg offering some tepid criticism of Trump’s aggressive trade rhetoric against China. “Muilenburg suggests the Trump team, and Congress, back off from the 2016 anti-trade rhetoric and perceived threats to punish other countries with higher tariffs or fees,” read the column, by Robert Reed. “Instead, he suggests they get down to the business of advocating a stronger U.S. agenda during ongoing or upcoming trade negotiations with other countries. ‘If we do not lead when it comes to writing these rules, our competitors will write them for us,’ he said.”....

Jr. High School - or so it would seem on the surface.  Why would he tweet that, anyway?

A good leader does not show his weakness. Trump throws it out there on full display. Everyone knows his buttons and knows he will react if they are pushed. Kind of like the whole SNL thing. He should be ignoring him, but his goading them on will only cause them to double down and others to follow suit.

He is childish to say the least.

Don't worry. Trump has the best weaknesses, yuge weakness. Nobody has better weaknesses than Trump. I really mean that.

And apparently Trump lied about the amount. Boeing's contract was for $170 Million, not $4 Billion.

Wow disaster.  I also read that Pence had said they will take corporate deals on a one by one basis. 
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

I didn't think anyone could have a thinner skin than BHO.

Guess I was wrong.  :shrug:

Trump needs to quit thinking with his knees.
