Trump: Cancel Boeing's Air Force One contract
'I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number,' he says.

http://politi.co/2gYEARD

"Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!" the president-elect wrote on Twitter.

"I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money."

Sigh...4 years...might as well be 40...

Shades of Lech Kaczynski.

Much cheaper to sign a 50 year contract with a recreated Trump Airlines.

I really need a Twitter account now. The chance to learn of new US policy THE MOMENT IT IS THOUGHT OF is a fascinating chance.

And, there's a chance he'll retweet you.  And if not, so sad! Unfair!

I guarantee you the real reason he wants to ditch Air Force One is because he wants to fly in his own plane.  Has his name on it.

I am sure the president staying in the White House is just tradition, not something that is actually required. What if he prefers to stay in New York or at least one of his hotels? The tax payer picks up the tab?

Yup. 


And as far as the White House and Air Force One are concerned, they are more than just trappings--they are elements of the National Command Authority framework.

Maybe they can leave out some of the safety features on his jet to bring the price down.

There was a news story that the secret service is renting out a floor of Trump Tower in order to protect Trump's ass.

The USSS doesn't publish its exec protection budget, but the estimates are going to be WAIT FOR IT yuge.

Trump's plane is also a Boeing. And apparently the secret service has already said that he won't be able to use it instead of Air Force One, although I don't know how they'll be able to force him.

Trump's fleet of Boeings are all over 20 years old.  And are not command and control platforms for the National Command Authority.

But apparently this is all over the CEO of Boeing making comments about Trump's trade policies yesterday, so there ya go.
