Trump wants to cancel Air Force One order from Boeing

Donald Trump wants to cancel a government order for a new Air Force One.
The president-elect said in a tweet early Tuesday that the new Boeing (BA) 747 jet that's being built to carry "future presidents" already costs more than $4 billion, and that he wants to cancel the order.


"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!"

I see this clown didn't mind using Air Force one for Vacations. Should have cancelled a bunch of them.

The downside of being a gazillionaire, I guess! The trappings of the presidency are a bit of a downgrade..,

You mean he has been getting by with other folks hand me downs ? This thread gets better and better .

100 million = cost of 8th most expensive plane on the planet

Air Force 1 = 4 BILLION = FORTY TIMES as much

Not double, or triple, or even 10 times as much, but 40 times

Guess who is in charge of spending your tax dollars? Trump will cut costs. He is a businessman, not an arrogant elitist

Trump should hire a team of forensic accountants to audit the books of the USA for the last eight years. Trillions of unaccounted for dollars. Heads would definitely roll.

Well it is for two identical planes!
base sticker price of each @ $380,000,000 each
i guess its all the Extras!

 

[Plater1]

Wow, Trump just saved the taxpayer $4 billion. Just enough to build the wall!

 

[Shadow2]

4 billion, kick there as sea bass, This is the crap that has been going on for way too long, let's see if he will actually do somthing about it.

So base price is 380 million, so it takes another Billion,7 to add EMP protection, counter measures, and in air refueling, I'm sorry the BS is stacked pretty high, Iys called guaranteing the CEOs bonuses get paid for the next 6 years.

relivent link, this government pisses away money like its going out of style, should the US have the best, you bet, but let's stop paying for design failures the company should be eating like any other company who developed products.

I was listening to RUSH today and he brought this up. Back story is that his Tweet ins't just about the 4 billion, but Boeing was putting money into Clinton campaign and foundation and they also backed the Iran nuclear deal because they wanted the sanctions lifted so Iran could buy a new fleet of their planes!
