New Air Force One color scheme infuriates left

President Donald Trump revealed his design this week for a new Air Force One, showing off a set of drawings in the Oval Office that replace the Kennedy-era light blue paint job with a more masculine red, white and black.

The current livery is dominated by blue, the color of the Democratic Party. Trump’s re-do has splashes of Republican red.

The result resembles the color scheme of Trump’s personal Boeing 757, which 2016 campaign crowds called ‘Trump Force One.’

‘We had different choices, here,’ Trump told ABC News, saying that he had come up with the design concepts himself. Artists’ renderings show variations in the color of the engines and the depth of the underbelly’s dark tones.

The redesign is red, white, and blue, not black.

A strong blue - not a 'robin's egg' fragile blue...

It looks like a B-58.

I have to disagree. The plane has always looked nice, but it seems kind of dated; and when you put it beside this new design, it looks even more dated.

I don’t think the new design looks ‘Third World’ at all.

Obama: We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!
Left: Yes!

Trump: I’m going to change the colors on Air Force One.
Left: You MONSTER!

The color scheme looks good.
The other current design looks dated.

How much you want to bet if Hillary had won, AF-1 would be dolled up with the LGBT colors?

I don’t know why they say it’s more masculine. I guess because if it weren’t then they have nothing to rant about.

This whole thing is more than laughable...It is downright hilarious!!!

For the left to gnash their baby teeth, whine, and gripe about the President changing the color of the President’s plane is one of the most juvenile things...Well, not even juvenile...It’s even lower than that...It’s toddler type fits they are throwing...

They are not even smart or clever enough to realize that they are giving president Trump something else to just sit back and laugh about...

The whole leftist democrat party is better than any sitcom that’s ever been on TV....

If it’s not about babies being killed, children exploited or Trump and his supporters brought down in the media you can guarantee it infuriates the left.

Article says their "outrage" is based on a change of color scheme from the one which supposedly originated with their sainted Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, and since used on every version of the Presidential aircraft.

Frankly, since she had to ride back to Washington from Dallas in the confines of that color scheme above her husband's coffin and alongside the man who organized and profited from his killing maybe she'd, were she still with us, want it changed.

Here's the most iconic moment ever captured on film aboard AF1. Taken just before Johnson finished the oath and, according to several witnesses, turned away from the camera and Mrs. Kennedy, smiled, and winked.

“They flew me from Sea-Tac airport to Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Viet-Nam, in a stretched DC-8...”

I departed Saigon in a World Airways Stretch-8 to Travis. Didn’t notice the seating; I was young & skinny after losing forty pounds as a Huey pilot. All I remember was the enormous cheer when the plane rotated and then every swinging richard lit up & the cabin filled with smoke. Didn’t wake up until we were ready to land in CA.

They should take a page from President Camacho and add the gun to the top.
