Donald Trump has said he might block ExxonMobil from investing in Venezuela after the oil company’s chief executive called the country “uninvestable” during a White House meeting last week.
Darren Woods told the US president that Venezuela would need to change its laws before it could be an attractive investment opportunity, during the high-profile meeting on Friday with at least 17 other oil executives.
Woods’ sceptical remarks quickly emerged as the dominant headline, undercutting the White House’s hopes of building momentum from its engagement with the world’s most prominent oil executives.
"I didn’t like Exxon’s response,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on his way back to Washington on Sunday. “I’ll probably be inclined to keep Exxon out. I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute.”
Exxon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This guy is the quintessential american. If you take the average of all United States residents, this is exactly what pops out. Its not surprising at all.
Well, no
You just have to scrape the grease traps of the southern states, and roll that average american together. Most Americans hate these turds
dumb as shit, completely convinced of his own superiority, and his only reason for relevance is his family name. that shit is relatable as fuck to rich/poor alike.
sprinkle in a bit of racism, an incredibly under-educated population, and an extensive propaganda machine and it should be no surprise he wins…mostly just from coming off as “authentic”.
his polling was worse when he read from scripts, him going off script on completely batshit insane tangents made him “real” instead of just another career ratfuck politician
and of course the real kicker…most americans are short-sighted and greedy as fuck (which also makes trump relatable) and will just vote for whoever promises them the most $
