April 11, 20179 yr Not funny. I don't really think he's going to fire missiles at their planes. It would not be surprising if he sent a Tweet about it.
April 11, 20179 yr Author The President's Press Secretary fielded a couple of questions about it and they are going to stay out it at this point but it's obvious the powers that be don't approve.
April 11, 20179 yr I think he may have wanted to early on. But on twitter the story is being driven by the anti-corporation and anti-capitilism crowd and I'm guessing they don't want to join them at least not right now.

April 11, 20179 yr Author I heard on the radio today that the Chinese media has jumped on this story, especially since the passenger was Asian. CNN just covered it.

April 11, 20179 yr I pray for the day an airline drags me out of the seat I paid for. My next flight will be on my private jet :lol2:.
April 11, 20179 yr Author I pray for the day an airline drags me out of the seat I paid for. My next flight will be on my private jet :lol2:. I agree, we are going to have one more Millionaire in Kentucky soon.
April 11, 20179 yr He's a doctor from my hometown and his wife has a pediatric office there as well. Would guess already a millionaire so what was offered may have been pocket change that wouldn't make him want to give up his seat.
