Wasn’t a journalist shot on camera in Georgia a few years back?

Was that shooter also Trump’s fault?

Nice.

And he hasn't stopped in 18 months.

Yet the OP is surprised that he still is telling lie after lie.

See, this very thread is why he lies.

Because he knows his base doesn't give a single shite...the get their morning orders and march lock-step to whatever he says.

Trumpkins are far and away worse then Obamabots.

Here is the statement from the spokesman. Where is the denial about what Trump said? Implicit or otherwise?

quote:
"We post all of our major operational announcements to our website and report them on earnings calls. Our most recent one pertained to our Granite City "A" blast furnace restart," emailed a U.S. Steel spokesperson, who declined to elaborate further.




Sounds a lot like Hannity on his radio show yesterday during my drive. He read off the email from a media person he hates and does not speak to, except he would not name him (was as close to ID as he got). The reporter was asking a lot of oddly worded/phrased stuff, trying to get some response that would appear one way but get reported in various and sundry others.

Looks like this US Steel spokesperson gave the canned response previously approved by corporate legal to meet SEC requirements. Nothing more,nothing less.

If Trump's claims are false why wouldn't they state that?





Exactly. I’m sure a ceo knows a thing or two about setting realistic expectations.

Weak

When US Steel can deny that conversation didn't happen then this gotcha moment is just conjecture at best. Let's wait and see how this unfolds.

Not really

You could evaluate the statement he made without bias and very easily come to the correct conclusion that he was referring to the company

I don't know why you have such an interest in dancing around and pretending to be dumb here but it's not very becoming.

So for the OP’s premise to make any sense, we have to assume Trump was talking about one particular Steel company and not the US Steel industry.....

Where he “called” for journalists to get gunned down on site.

He didn’t call for it if anything he was saying it was inevitable but my point still stands and I’m still waiting on all of this illegitimate stuff we criticized Obama about.

We are at the end of the 2nd Qtr, there will be another 2nd Qtr earnings and 3rd Qtr forecast call for USS in a few weeks. Perhaps they may update their BD plans and forecasts then?

No, you have to assume that Trump would give the public some good news about the Steel industry he just received via a telephone call directly the CEO but he would make sure the news was Germans as frick and everyone already knew about it even to the point of it being on the company website.
