Canadian CEO blasts Trump over downed plane in Iran: 'I am livid'

The CEO of packaged meats company Maple Leaf Foods took aim at President Trump over the downing of a Ukrainian passenger jet by Iran on Sunday, blaming the U.S. for destabilizing the region and inflaming tensions with Tehran.

In a series of scathing tweets, CEO Michael McCain wrote that he was "very angry" at Trump and blamed him for the deaths of dozens of Canadian citizens, including the family of an employee of his company, in the jet crash that Iran's government says was intentionally caused by its defensive weaponry.

"I'm Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, and these are personal reflections. I am very angry, and time isn't making me less angry," he tweeted.

"A narcissist in Washington tears world accomplishments apart; destabilizes region. US now unwelcomed everywhere in the area including Iraq; tensions escalated to feverish pitch. Taking out despicable military leader terrorist? There are a hundred like him, standing next in line," he continued.

Shooting down the Ukrainian jet is something that would not have happened if not for the irresponsible, likely criminal behavior of Dump and possibly Hannity escalating tensions and placing everybody in the region on a war footing.

Incidentally, if any embassies were actually under threat they would have been notified so personnel could be evacuated or sheltered. Didn't happen. More lies.

State Department security officials weren't notified of 'imminent' threats to US embassies

Now you can add accomplice to mass murder to the list of his crimes. Fuck half the voting public in 2016 as well.
