That event is by invitation only but open to media. Trump’s airport arrival will be open to the public, according to the White House. Details were still being worked out Friday afternoon.

It will be the president’s first visit to Missouri since he signed the cuts into law last year.

Besides Hawley, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democrat Claire McCaskill, state Treasurer Eric Schmitt and Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft also are expected to participate in the Trump-led roundtable at Boeing.

The White House did not list Gov. Eric Greitens, under felony indictment for allegations related to an extramarital affair, as an attendee in a statement issued late Friday to the Post-Dispatch.

1. Boeing is the second largest defense

contractor receiving $30B/yr which is a 1/3rd of its revenues.

I wonder if anyone will ask about this.

2. That's the money they claim on the books.

How much more "dark money" they get for research and clandestine activities isn't known. The amount of money the Pentagon wastes each year would make us all puke blood. But it's always carte blanch for the Pentagon. They're never denied a single penny, EVER!

4. 45* (and all repukes) pretend that "tax cuts" come at no cost

Their scam is that they never ever talk about the cost of 'tax cuts' - infrastructure, basic services, increased debt, and on and on.

And of course they never mention who benefits the most from 'tax cuts' which of course, in the grand scheme of things, is a transfer of wealth from middle America to the 1 percent.
