Trump caught Boeing price gouging... he will get a much cheaper deal for the airplanes.
Yea, get some cobbled together old Airbuses that have been flying the Nairobi to Mombasa route for the last twenty years. What the hell does he care, he"ll never fly in one, he'll be out of office by then.
Much better to pump a couple billion into a couple of Trumps personal aircraft. Saves the Taxpayers money.
And gives the Trump brand international exposure.
That Trump. Always looking out for the great unwashed.
Not.
I am so grateful he sees all the waste. I hope he cuts entitlements to the one too. If you able bodied get a job or starve. If your hungry enough you'll work.
President Bush flew in a S3 Viking and landed on a carrier. TBH, I'm not sure THAT one was designated Air Force One, seeing how it's a naval aircraft. Navy One perhaps?
Navy One. The Presidential helicopter is Marine One and if a President were to fly in a civilian aircraft (fat chance of the Secret Service letting that happen), it would be "Executive One".
That being said, it's not even so much about a comfortable and safe plane as it is about the secure and reliable communications gear. AF 1 is designed with redundant communications systems to let the Chief Executive keep working as if he were in the White House or Camp David - even in case of crisis. That kind of stuff isn't bought off the shelf and jamming it into an airplane comes with an entirely new set of problems.
That being said, I still maintain a C-17 would be the obvious starting point.

Your wording is incorrect. The Tweet was inflammatory. It was a piece of red meat thrown to the mob designed to inflame passions of the sort we see in this thread.
Perhaps. At any rate, it was a good move. I agree with this:
