https://www.yahoo.com/news/lot-yelling-president-donald-trump-020047134.htmlA meeting between President Donald Trump, the CEOs of some of the biggest airlines in the U.S. and Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al Baker devolved into "a lot of yelling," according to a report from NBC News detailing the meeting.
The group met in the Oval Office in what NBC News called an "'Apprentice'-worthy showdown." The outlet reported CEOs of American Airlines and United Airways were in attendance to air some grievances regarding what they believe are unfair practices by airlines in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
However -- and much to Trump's chagrin -- Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian was absent, according to NBC News.
"The president kept going back to it," a source who attended the meeting told NBC News regarding Bastian's absence. "There was a lot of yelling."

Second, what were these airlines thinking? Don't they know that Trump is a fucking idiot?

I think one part that was amazing was that they had to put an ad on Fox to get his attention for the meeting!

(22,112 posts)stupid rule) to not charge a sitting president w/ a crime until out of office (or crime(s)), to which I totally don't agree with. Why do we have a VP, etc., in the chain of succession, to the office of the presidency, should something happen to the current so called president?

I almost never watch cable news but the Pirates were getting lambasted again so I watched in horror as guests on msnbc and cnn were debating whether this guy would be ok replacing Coats. msnbc and cnn are ramping up their right wing narratives leading up to the election.
We should have impeached the day after the Mueller report came out.

(7,142 posts)buy space at Trump Tower, and hold conventions at Trump's DC Hotel. I bet Qatar and the UAE spend money at Trump properties, oh and yeah, they did bail out Jared at his 666 devil tower.
American and United could lodge a complaint with the WTO, oh yeah, Trump says the WTO is useless, only he knows trade and it's easy for him to win trade wars.
We should have impeached the day after the Mueller report came out.

People are not paying attention, most people do not read history, they are not informed of what happens in other countries where the creature and his minions have used as their blueprint to screw up the USA. For those who think "It Can't Happen Here!", well it can and it is happening here.
Step 1 was to fill the Supreme Court with minions, he, and republicans, have now destroyed the Attorney General office by electing Barr, he is going to destroy the Intelligence by placing a crook, an accomplice in charge. Little by little the republicans are destroying the country, and all we, and the media, do is to discuss the creature's tweets.
I don't understand why the Intelligence agencies have not taken things in their hands, they need to leak information, they need to compile more information, they need to help get rid of all these crooks, the cost of not doing it will be huge. Everyone seems to be numb.

(19,038 posts)Trump is all about dealing with unethical companies and countries. It's pay for play and Trump doesn't trust anyone who is ethical. In every scenario he wants to favor companies and countries who break the law over ones who abide by it.

(10,154 posts)Now they get just an inkling of the shit Trump has dumped on the majority of Americans.
When you always side with the guy who pays the biggest bribes, there is no patriotism or sense of justice.
Those CEOs help create fat Trump. Now they find him difficult, rude, obnoxious and traitorous. Well, who would have seen that coming. The filthy rich made the same mistake with Hitler.
