Trump’s New Toy

July 19, 2018 By: El Jefe Category: Putin, Trump

Trump has announced his new $3.9 billion toy, a new pair of Air Force One planes to take him around to his golf vacations.  These are actually the exact same planes that were on order when he came into office that he famously cancelled on Twitter.  Using Trump math, he claims that he saved the taxpayers $1.4 billion, but the original contract he “cancelled” was $4 billion (even acknowledged by him), and the new contract is $3.9 billion.  Of course; $4 billion – $3.9 billion = $1.4 billion in Tdollars.

The surprise, here, though, was not the new aircraft.  The surprise is that Trump’s throwing one more tradition onto the scrap pile, and that is the world famous paint job of Air Force One.  The polished aluminum, white, and sky blue paint job has been on every single Air Force One since JFK changed it from the original red and gold.  Kennedy believed that the previous paint job “looked too regal”.  So, Trump is doing exactly what you would expect, change the paint job.  But this time, he’s insisting on red, white and blue.  Patriotic, right?  Yes.  For Russia.  Here’s Vladimir Putin’s plane:

And now you know the rest of the story.

There is a place for anger, and THIS is it.

    He didn’t mention the big gold letters spelling T***p??

  2. I’m sure the new planes will have a big “T” on them as well. (That stands for both “Trump” and “tacky.”

  3. The T could also stand for Traitor. Or Treasonous.

  4. These custom new AF1 747’s don’t get delivered until 2026, ~eight years from now.
    With just a little luck, lots of diet cokes, big macs, and stress, 71 year old RAT45 will be wormfood by then, long before then.

  5. And by 2026, the color scheme will again be revamped! Hopefully with not a hint of someone’s ego.

    Once again Dotard45 fails to comprehend that he is merely a passenger on Air Force One. He does not own the planes, nor should the paint be changed to accommodate his tacky taste.

    But in the interest of accommodation, the Air Force can alter the call sign when Donnie is on board to Moron One. Probably best not to push the transponder to 3/7500, so don’t tempt us, Donnie.

    Right you are.

    “Air Force One” is the name of these aircraft or 28000 or 29000, not Drumpf 1 or Bush or whichever POTUS sits upon the chair.

    I’m sure cooler USAF heads will prevail and the Raymond Loewy design will prevail in 2026.

    Not gold-plated?

    Gold-plate is for Rumpy’s toilet.

    Micr, problem solved! 😉

    Now what to do about Donnie’s $12 million military parade? Is there not a Presidential budget for incidentals such as trip, state dinners and the like? Given the cost for Secret Service details to fly him on his golf weekends and accompany his children on their world wide grifting tours, it would seem the budget for ‘personal expenses’ has already been blown for Dotard45 and his family members. In fact not a dime available for a personal parade, until he reimburses us for unauthorized expenses such as what we the taxpayers have paid into his coffers such as the recent one paid to Turnberry.

  11. Maybe Putin suggested the White-Blue-Red colors for the plane when they spoke at the Summit. So they could have color coordinated planes.

    It might save some money and etc if Aeroflot transported Spanky and his whole famn damily while he “serves” as POTUS.

  13. On the use of Air Force 1: spurred on by Trump’s abuse, I believe it is time use of AF1 should be limited to official business of the United States. I understand the need to protect our President, but if a POTUS wants a ride to a fundraiser in South Dakota, he or his political party should have to pay the costs.

    Trump is constantly complaining about taxpayers’ dollars being misspent, but once again he is the biggest big spender I’ve seen.

  14. Jane & PKM says:

    Daniel, totally agreed. Also what about Secrets Service costs for Javanka, Dimwit Jr. and Err-Reich when they are on business travel outside the USA to line their gilded and gelded self dealing pockets?

  15. Jane and PKM:
    I’m predicting that by the end of next week, the white house will announce that the military parade will coincide with the visit from Vlad the Donnie Impaler.
