Ralph Gilles, Chrysler Executive, Lashes Out At Donald Trump (Romney related)



Ralph Gilles, Chrysler Executive, Lashes Out At Donald Trump

DETROIT, Nov 1 (Reuters) - A Chrysler executive told Donald Trump in a Tweet on Thursday that the real estate executive and television personality was "full of shit" for repeating a notion that Chrysler is shipping U.S. Jeep production to China, which the automaker refutes.

Ralph Gilles, the head of product design for Chrysler, became the second top Chrysler executive in three days to strongly deny the claim, which was first made by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney last week to a crowd in Ohio.

Trump, from his Twitter account, said, "Obama is a terrible negotiator. He bails out Chrysler and now Chrysler wants to send all Jeep manufacturing to China--and will!"

To which Gilles, from his Twitter account, responded to Trump: "You are full of shit!"

It's like he looked at Palin, Bachmann, West, etc. and decided, "They're so charismatic... that's what *I* want to be when I grow up!"
