They look like Trump colours, not American... It's just a reversal of Trump's jets...

Your obama bias is idiotic ( I was going to say at times). The paint scheme of the old Air force one, was the same as the Bushs presidency. |

Additionally given the damn things haven't been built yet, how you can claim "under budget" is beyond me. |

Really? When was the project completed, and what was the final cost? |

Ah, 'Trump Shuttle'. One more thing in the endless list of Trump's business failures. The company was never profitable. Passenger traffic on the shuttle began to decline in November 1989. In late 1989 the U.S. Northeast entered an economic recession which depressed demand, while the August 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait caused jet fuel prices to double. While costs of running the airline rose, many of the corporate customers using the shuttle were cutting travel budgets. Trump's casino business was simultaneously encountering serious difficulties, and Trump was forced to cede control over several business holdings to his bankers in June 1990 in order to avoid personal bankruptcy. The airline ran out of cash and defaulted on its debt in September 1990. |

I think that paint scheme was originally designed (or she found the designer to do the job) by Jacqueline Kennedy (circa 1962). |

The more thoughtful of you may want to read what an automotive publication has to say about this

I think these are the two paragraphs I like
That this is a 2021 budget for a 2024 roll-out, this plane wouldn’t be implemented in a Trump presidency, and there’s room to dream that it wouldn’t even be approved in one. But it’s a real possibility, and a worthwhile thing to look at regardless. Interestingly, before his election, Trump once campaigned on reducing the cost of the next set of planes to serve as presidential transports. On the campaign trail, he laid into Boeing for the projected cost of the new planes, threatening to cancel the order. Since then, though, the president has seemed to have set aside any budgetary concerns about the project in favor of his new vision for the plane’s appearance. |

..... not the Russian flag. The biplane is Ukrainian colors for a state visit there to keep Vladimir happy. Also flies low to duck Russian missiles.

If Trump has Towers why doesn't he get a real plane? Antonov An-225 is generally acknowledged as the largest airplane in the world, maximum takeoff weight greater than 640 tons and with 6 engines. Length is 84 metres which needs a golf-buggy for the driving fairway.
It can also carry a horizontal Trump Tower for erecting at Pyongyang airport to put Kim in his place. |

Johnson called it "my own little plane" with a presidential cabin in which was installed a spacious leather chair (dubbed "the throne") and guests sat on couches around "the throne."
Trump has sketched designs for his throne with plans for knighthoods and heralds with trumpets , " trumpers". |
