Trump Again Blames New York AG For Exxon Moving Headquarters To Dallas, Which Happened Back In 1989

As was reported here last month:

“Businesses are fleeing our country,” Trump said at the event Saturday evening. “It’s business-unfriendly and they’re going to other places.” But the former president selected an odd example to demonstrate the phenomenon: Exxon Mobil’s move from New York to … Dallas, Texas.

Trump also appeared to blame New York Attorney General Letitia James for Exxon’s departure, despite the fact that the company announced it was relocating its company headquarters to the Lone Star State back in 1989 — 30 years before James became New York attorney general. “Great job, Letitia,” the former president mocked.

And he just did it again despite widespread mocking.
