That does it! I’m never buying anything from Boring or Lockheed Martin ever again!
Citing two unnamed people familiar with the calls, Bloomberg reported that Trump was in a meeting with Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg when he made the latter of two surprise, unusual calls to Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan.
Damn you Obama holdovers
Now he is fucking with the military-industrial complex as well? Doesn’t he have enough fights going on already?
If anything ever happens to Trump, it will be really difficult to know who did it, as everybody hates him, reminds me of
Odd. Boeing competed with Lockheed-Martin for the Joint Strike Fighter contract.
He asked a lot of very, very, very good questions because he was in the learning mode,” Bogdan told Bloomberg of Trump’s calls to him.
Mirroring is the behaviour in which one person subconsciously imitates the gesture, speech pattern, or attitude of another.
…Additionally, individuals are likely to mirror the person of higher status or power within the situation.[9][10] Mirroring individuals of higher power may create an illusion of higher status, or create rapport with the individual in power, thus allowing the person to gain favor with the individual in power.
Payback for Lockheed’s refusal to use the new Ivanka Line™ of Targeting Systems in their fighter aircraft.
When this happened at Navy ship builder Bath Iron Works, the Chairman and CEO had to resign for a breach of business ethics.
“(William Haggett) chairman and chief executive officer of Bath Iron Works in Maine, was told by a vice president that a confidential Navy report about the giant shipyard’s chief competitor had been found at the company conference center.What happened next put Mr. Haggett’s 23-year career in the balance. Rather than order the 200-page report returned to the Navy, Mr. Haggett ordered two vice presidents to photocopy and read it thoroughly.”

Haggett resigned the next week.
But Trump was on this call so I guess it was OK.
One of the few silver linings of the Trump presidency is how familiar we’ll all be with the jargon of psychopathology by the time it reaches its pitiful conclusion in a couple of months!
he was in the learning mode
Is this opposed to a stupid mode? a bullying mode? a bellowing mode? a pouting mode?
What’s a lieutenant general supposed to say when his C-in-C calls and demonstrates almost complete ignorance of something the C-in-C has been bloviating about for months?
“No, Mr. President, Lockheed Martin does not currently stock Prince Albert in a can.”
I’ve seen this kind of thing happen in work situations as well - one employee tacitly endorses an unethical practice by participating and saying nothing. However, these are supposed to be business geniuses. Can’t they imagine that the same tactics will be used against them in the near future?
Trump doesn’t have the slightest fucking clue what he’s doing.
This should scare the bejeebers out of all CEOs and heads of industry out there. You just might be next – and what corporate secrets will Shitgibbon allow your competitor(s) to discover?
Since the inauguration, my jaw has dropped so many times, and so far, that I am now suffering from repetitive stress injury. And what’s worse is, once ACA is repealed, Trump-related injuries (head/desk contusions, liver damage, etc.) will be all classified as pre-existing conditions.
He’d have to be unhappy with the price of whoppers, considering he spews one up every time he opens his mouth.
Like his handshake, this is a cheap gimmick that can only work once. No one will ever again have a conversation with Donald without assuming they’re being overheard. I hope his Week 4 talk about F-35s vs Super Hornets was the right time to play this game.
