Trump got his ass handed to him by Exxon's CEO [View all]

The CEO was being "kind" with his words, but I bet he was thinking, "You are out of your fucking mind if you think we want to invest in that shithole you've made!"

I was a professional chauffeur for a few years before Covid and Exxon was one of our clients. They don't play and they are always thinking ahead. I have to say, I was impressed with what he said and the way he said it. He didn't pander to Trump and definitely wasn't intimidated by Trump. He didn't mince words:
"...it's UNINVESTIBLE"!

Trump went into denial mode by getting up to admire his stupid ballroom. No one said a word. They weren't there for the ballroom and none of them cared.

For a narcissist like Trump, it was a huge blow and I'm not surprised he has said he probably won't invite Exxon...blah, blah,blah...

And I'm sure Exxon doesn't give a shit. I would have loved to be a driver that day.😁
