Trump targeted Boeing in April, saying the company should fix its 737 Max jets and rebrand the plane model after it was involved in two deadly crashes.
"What do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!), but if I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name," Trump tweeted. "No product has suffered like this one. But again, what the hell do I know?"
Trump also blasted Boeing in 2016 for the costs of a new Air Force One plane.
"Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion," Trump tweeted. "Cancel order!"
Boeing shares dipped following Trump's tweet.
