Sorry, but this is not a Trump issue. Not Bush. Not Obama. Not any of that political noise. These injuries are largely self inflicted. To the extent that there were political decisions, it was the one fatal decision to get high paying jobs in the south by moving the manufacture of unbelievably complex airliners to South Carolina. There was obviously some political pressure that made that happen, but that was long before the Trump/Obama era, and involved mostly state level politicians and senators. But even that required the collaboration of Boeing executives, who somehow believed that engineers were cogs in a wheel. And an industrial engineer in South Carolina, where they never built airliners and schools consistently rank in the bottom 10 states of the notoriously horrible US educational system; would somehow be just as good as an industrial engineer in Washington state, which has been the center of aviation for over a century, and has schools that consistently rank in the top 15 states in the US. Setting aside the hundred years of institutional knowledge base you are throwing away when you make hare-brained moves like that; it's not possible to just swap one engineer for another and get the same results. The executives of an aviation company like Boeing should have known that.
