    Exxon and Trump

    President Trump spent part of his Arizona rally last night telling the crowd how he could—if he wanted to, which he doesn't—call up the CEO of Exxon, establish that he needs some exploration permits, and say "You know, I’d love [for you] to send me $25 million for the campaign." "I would raise a billion dollars in one day if I wanted to," Trump said. Exxon felt compelled to tweet: "We are aware of the President’s statement regarding a hypothetical call with our CEO…and just so we’re all clear, it never happened." Reuters
