If another country were to bomb an American-owned factory on foreign soil, one might expect"at the very least"harsh condemnation from the sitting U.S. president. The anticipated response from a president who enjoys a reputation as both a champion of American business and a tough guy on the world stage would be even fiercer. But President Donald Trump fell far short of such expectations on Friday, when he was asked about Russia's strike on the Ukrainian branch of the American electronics manufacturer Flex. The president mustered only five words"and none very forceful. "I told [Putin], I'm not happy about it,'" the president said, before immediately changing the subject. "I'm not happy about anything having to do with that war."
