Boeing depends on government contracts for around 1/3 of its revenue. They have to play nice.

By the same token, if Boeing doesn’t play nice, who builds the bombers and aircraft, missiles, and rockets they are doing? Your options are Lockheed Martin or Boeing for aerospace. And if one has won the contract, you can’t just give it to the other without getting hit with a ton of extra costs.

It’s not like you can cancel a contract and those costs aren’t going to get absorbed by someone. Corporate shareholders shouldn’t be happy about this - whether they’re institutional investors or the guy on the street who watches his 401k. Trump games will cost both dearly.
