As it happens, Trump himself owned Boeing shares (BA) as of the filing of a financial disclosure form during his presidential campaign. He owned Boeing stock worth between $50,001 and $100,000, according to his disclosure.
Boeing stock is down today because of his comments.
No he didn't.
Contracts are signed. He is just poo-pooing the deal.
They can cancel anyway.
McDonal Douglas had a contract from the military for a new plane. The cost overruns were staggering. The government finally cancelled. A friend who had been employed by McDonald for years was laid off. He worked another 2 years as contract labor shutting the whole thing down. Made more money, too.
4 Billion for a personal jet?? What are they doing redesigning it from the wheels up as a one off??
Trump is a business man and like any good business man that has just bought out or taken over a company there will be cuts and lay offs to the bottom line.
America has been on a runaway spending frenzy for years now and slowing that bleeding is a good first step.
Stopping it will not be pretty nor popular but it is what we need.
Imagine running your house like the Government runs the country.... only we don't have the option to print more money, play with interest rates or influence the stock market.
Imagine Trump might actually do something good by cutting bloated budgets and putting the money to better use somewhere else.
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.
Thanks for posting Teddy! You just proved Trump is looking out for the taxpayer from being gouged. Funny how these anti-Trump posts always seem to backfire.
Trump saves 4 billion, Obama wasted how many billions on student loans... oopps, I meant TRILLIONS... liberals, your stupider than stupid.. Merry Christmas...

I have no problem if the solution to the aging 747's is to use them until they fail.
I DO have a problem if the Trump answer is to use his own personal aircraft, and as he has done with his hotels, catering services, security housing and transportation services, and bill the cost back to the government. That wreaks to me of self dealing.....
Not to mention the disgust of seeing the Trump emblem every time (which I am sure is what The Donald wants) the President goes anywhere.
