Trump's advice to Boeing is just what you'd expect.

That is, if what you're expecting is unwanted stupid input from someone who places profit over human lives.

"If I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name. No product has suffered like this one."


"If I were Boeing..." You don't know how much we wish you were. I'd gladly trade flying for another president.

I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX... You could end the Tweet right here with an exclamation point and it would be strong advice from the White House, but no...

"add some additional great features" Of course the president doesn't mean improvements that cut into profit like more leg room, he means gold leaf trim and Ivanka's shoe catalog in first class. BTW, "add additional"? Apparently English nor Adspeak is his primary language.

"REBRAND the plane with a new name" Because that fixes everything, except Trump Water, Trump University, and Trump Steaks. They could call it the 738 Super Mac and we'll forget all about a few dead foreigners. And finally:

"No product has suffered like this one." Besides the earlier mentioned Trump brands, he forgets the DC10 (scrap metal), Tylenol (lost millions), Takata Airbags (blew up in their face), Marlboro (wheezing along), and Lawn Jarts (my eye!!).

It's hard to believe that we've had to wait 243 years for a president who knows how to fix these things.
