The CEO of German industrial giant Siemens sharply criticized President Donald Trump Saturday for a rally in North Carolina where Trump continued to attack progressive congresswomen after telling them to “go back” to where they came from, saying the president has become the “face of racism and exclusion.”
“It troubles me that the most important political office in the world is becoming the face of racism and exclusion,” Kaeser said in a Twitter post in German. “I lived for many years in the USA and experienced freedom, tolerance and openness as never before. That was ‘America Great at work’!!”
