Trump has issued a press release praising an ExxonMobil investment. It reads like corporate PR. pic.twitter.com/AdmZq03aEK

Trump's schedule has him having lunch with Rex Tillerson, former Exxon CEO, two hours before he released this.

I recall, vividly, a close acquaintance looking at some news and just shaking his head in exasperation and saying 'But he's so thick!' Ho Hum, Ginger.

Thanks for the new thread. Phew, bit difficult today to keep up with Trump business and Jenni Murray furore Grin

Bore I didn't hear the R4 programme but there's a good history series being repeated on BBC4 at the moment called "She-Wolves: England's Early Queens" which is really interesting. It starts with Matilda who should have been the first English Queen (she was William the Conqueror's grand-daughter) but was screwed over by her cousin Stephen. It talks about how the Lords considered her "too ambitious" and not ladylike enough for daring to act as a King would.

First episode is on iPlayer, it's definitely worth a watch.

45,000 construction & manufacturing jobs in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. $20 billion investment. We are already winning again, America!

I've seen 3 or 4 different official media tweets about major businesses getting rid of 1000s of jobs. I note Trump isn't tweeting about that!

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 21:33

What exactly are these jobs? And who made the investment? Smile

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 21:36

Remind me. Is the Dow starting to slip just a little?

Trump has given a position to Rudy Giuliani's son.

Surely he should be tweeting about the 'tapping' scandal.

Unless that was a dead cat.

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 21:45

I can see why Spice has stopped his daily open pressers. The journos might ask for verifiable facts, that sort of thing. Grin

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 21:47

Now now, ami. We've been told that they won't comment on that.

Official announcement and all. Halo

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 21:48

.........unless they really, really want to, I guess. Grin

Lweji · 06/03/2017 21:48

Just a reminder of what Obama did to jobs.

Whatever Trump can accomplish now (if he is) is on the back of that big slope down from the crisis that his GOP and finance friends created.

Store that safely, Lweji. The available data may look different in times to come. Wink

Didn't I predict earlier that he'd misuse principal and principle? That's why he has no principles. He thinks it's the principals that matter.

Lweji · 06/03/2017 21:54

BTW, isn't it time that the media start asking again:

Enough distractions, Mr President. What about those Russia links, though?

Gingernaut · 06/03/2017 21:54

Sorry. This is from the Daily Fail.

Trumpy and his family have weekended at Mar-a-Lago in Florida so often, that the no-fly zone 'thing' is affecting businesses. Badly. And bigly.
