Trump bullies Boeing, scores $1 million donation
Trump bullies Boeing, scores $1 million donation for inauguration events
Boeing’s stock fell 1 percent after Trump threatened to cancel an order for Air Force One planes.
President-elect Donald Trump’s social media attacks on Boeing sent its stock prices tumbling. Boeing has responded by pledging $1 million to help underwrite inaugural events, according to a company official who spoke with USA Today.
. Robert Reich, a former Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton, called Trump a “despot” for using “sticks (public criticism) and carrots (public commendation plus government sweeteners) to get big corporations to do what Trump wants them to do.”
Yet Trump’s online bullying has had dire consequences on private citizens. He has tweeted out inaccurate statements that leave many people at risk of harassment by his supporters. He has also dismissed allegations made by assault victims, with his supporters trying to cast doubt on those women.
