17. BSA lied.

They did not say they did not call. They did not say that no one in their office called. They squirreled around like we are used to seeing from the trump administration.

"Unaware". That is a sniveling way of avoiding the question.

Given the corporate, bigoted leadership, I could see some asshole like stevenson calling to butter up trump so that his merger would go through. They could just say: "The president is not telling the truth. No one called to tell him that." But they didn't. Given that the president may be lying about them and using their rapidly tarnishing reputation to build his own ego, I think they could do a little digging and become aware.

Their answer is not trustworthy.
It may be loyal to trump, but not to the tenets of scouting or to the American public.
It is certainly not helpful.
Friendly to trump maybe.
Not courteous to the donors and supporters of the BSA.
Very unkind to mislead people that way.
Obedient to whom?
A little too cheerful given the context and consequences.
Not very thrifty if it cost BSA the donations they hoped their non-apology for the trump speech would bring back.
Cowardly instead of brave.
Dirty politics and business - not clean.
Irreverent to the ideals of scouting. Mendacity is not a virtue. Squirrelliness is not an nobel goal.

(What is the BSR?)
