Trump got his ass handed to him by Exxon's CEO

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.😁

I was sickened and completely disgusted at how trump sat there laying it all out for them about how he was going to have security performed by our army, paid for with billions of our tax dollars. I watched their faces and they were stone cold.

He repeated himself with “divvy it up three ways” because he got no reaction.

It boggles the mind that he actually hauled people in there on the premise of just bullying another country out of their resources.

according to one former Exxon exec-turned-secretary of state, if memory serves me correctly.
