WASHINGTON: Former President Donald Trump was recently trolled on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after his speech went viral where he mentioned ExxonMobil moving to Dallas while discussing corporations leaving the US surfaces.

Notably, according to the most recent poll for the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump is leading Joe Biden by 4 points, indicating possible difficulties for Democrats.

Donald Trump's statement on Exxon Mobil moving to Texas

While headlining the NYYRC 111th Annual Gala, Donald Trump said, "Everybody knows she was the one who sued Exxon Mobil in 2019. Letitia James, in a much-watched legal battle, the result was that Exxon Mobil moved out of New York. How do you think that's a good idea?"



 

He added, "Exxon Mobil, one of the biggest companies in the world, left NY and they went to Dallas. Great job Letitia. And that's what's happening right now. Businesses are fleeing our country. Businesses are leaving this whole horrible system. They're leaving the States, they're leaving our country. Our country has changed so radically. Its business is unfriendly and they are going to other places."

Another user said, "Imagine voting for this guy, and being proud of it" whereas one added, "To be fair, Texas does believe it's its own country." Another person said, "Technically it’s true since Texas acts more like Saudi Arabia".
