U.S. President Donald Trump:

"Kudos to the great Boeing Company for producing an airplane, the 737 Max, that was able to withstand G-forces and stretch far beyond what was designed and expected to do. It was an amazing display of precise and powerful structural planning and design. It's about time that The Boeing Company, which builds, without a doubt, the best commercial airplanes, was given the best commercial airplanes. "Genius!" to Kelly Ortberg, and all his officers and associates At Boeing, congratulations on a job well done!!! President Donald J. Trump."
