US President Donald Trump calls himself “king” because he has sold more than 1,000 Boeing aircraft. The head of the White House said this during a meeting with Republicans in the US House of Representatives broadcast on C-Span channel.
“I'm a king – I've sold more Boeing airplanes than any other person on Earth. Probably over a thousand airplanes,” Trump said.
At the same time, he announced that he had been named “salesperson of the year,” to which he retorted: “what about in history?”
In May, Boeing received the largest aircraft order in history with Qatar Airways: as part of the deal, the airline will buy up to 210 wide-body aircraft worth $96 billion. Trump called the deal a record.
