Rush Limbaugh: Trump’s Boeing tweet signals to world that Clinton-era cronyism is over
“In 2010, two months after Hillary went to Moscow to broker a $3.7 billion trade deal with Russia, ‘Boeing donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation,’” the radio host said. “Then in July 2012, just months after the State Department helped it secure major deals in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, Boeing said it wanted to sponsor a speech by Bill Clinton.”
The conservative commentator added that former President Bill Clinton was paid $250,000 for a Boeing speech and that Mrs. Clinton received $166,735 for her presidential campaign.
“So Hillary Clinton as secretary of state had helped Boeing broker two deals, one in Russia (a $3.7 billion deal) which got them a $900,000 contribution to the Clinton Foundation, and in 2012 Boeing hired Bill to do a speech for a quarter mill — chump change compared to what they’ve been sending Hilary,” Mr. Limbaugh said. “Plus, they sent about $170,000 in campaign donations. Trump knows all this. He’s very much aware of the cronyism that’s been going on.”
“[Trump] doesn’t like the Iranian nuke deal. He doesn’t like any of Obama’s trade deals. He doesn’t like much of our foreign policy, and Boeing is in the thick of it. Boeing is right smack dab in the middle of many things. And so this tweet that Trump has put out there today is not just an idle Trump’s gotta say something, he’s bored kind of thing. There’s obviously something very meaningful behind it.”
