U.S. President Donald Trump is offering some unsolicited advice to Boeing, manufacturer of the troubled 737 Max jet.
Trump tweeted Monday that if he were in charge of Boeing, he would “FIX” the plane, “add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name.” He adds: “No product has suffered like this one.”
Trump, who brands his hotels, golf courses and buildings with the Trump name, tweeted sarcastically, “what the hell do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!)”
