President-elect Donald J. Trump is quite the business expert. If you ignore his multiple bankruptcies and the almost 4,000 lawsuits that he’s been associated with, he’s really quite a success!
Why, just a word from the man who is almost in charge, and company stocks either crash or go through the roof.
Take the Boeing company, for example. When Trump went public claiming that they were overcharging the government for airplanes, their stock tanked in one day.
Bad move, Mr. Trump.
Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!

He did pretty much the same thing to Lockheed-Martin, claiming price overruns. That stock bottomed out, too.
Based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns of the Lockheed Martin F-35, I have asked Boeing to price-out a comparable F-18 Super Hornet!

Bad for business, Mr. Trump.
But at last, the President-elect has used his formidable business powers to raise profits for an American business.
This time Mr. Trump bashed the news and entertainment site Buzzfeed.
The slam took place during Mr. Trump’s first press conference in six months. Just a day before the big show, Buzzfeed published an unverified dossier of accusations against Trump. The papers claimed to have proof that Russian President Vladimir Putin has compromising financial and sexual information to hold against Trump.
You know, so they could control him even more than Putin is already doing just by using flattery.
Trump was furious, and when the big man is furious his mouth runs overtime.
At the big press conference Trump said that it was a disgrace that such “fake” information had ever been released to the public. He called Buzzfeed “a failing pile of garbage” and warned that they would “feel the consequences.”
Hilariously, he was right.
So powerful, Mr.Trump. You sure are a job creating business magnate, you big orange buffoon!
Within hours of the news conference the website launched a limited time sale of a shirt that read “Failing Pile of Garbage“.
They sold out in less than 24 hours.
You go, Mr. President-unless-something-else-comes-out-from-Moscow. You’ve done more to boost Buzzfeed that anyone could have imagined.
