Could this be why Trump said what he did about Air Force One and the cost of money???

And people wonder why Trump took a shot at Boeing. I’m sure the back room deals were pretty ugly for Obama to sell out to Iran.

"I’m sure the back room deals were pretty ugly for Obama to sell out to Iran."

BO’B has learned his lessons well at the knee of HRC. As there is no new-comer arriving with his same line of thought, he must make do with whatever he can to see the green stuff keeps coming in. No worry, he still has a deal with HRC and the Port Canaveral pact for the next 35 years.
Mr. Trump, must have had knowledge of this situation when he made the remark about money for nothing and the new AF1

At least some of the $175 Billion Rochester gave to the Mullahs is coming home to Boeing.

ALOT!!! and as we can see now, thanks for Trump making the statement the other day that he did about Boeing...we can see just what dirty dealings have been going on...I wonder how much of this is going to the Senate and the House of Representatives, the alphabet units, and others...

I remember watching a video about the concern for Iran loading a nuclear device in a container ship and launching it to detonate over the Eastern US from international waters near us. I wonder if this could be installed in a passenger jet for Iran Air as well. I notice that Iran Air provides service to NYC, so such an aircraft wouldn’t have to venture too far off path to make sh_t happen.

All in all, this fits in with Trumps’s idea of expanding markets overseas for U.S. manufactured products. Better Boeing than Airbus. Once in office, it is highly unlikely he would do anything to stop this deal.

Trump’s beef with Boeing was over the high costs to TAXPAYERS for the new Air force One aircraft.

It was, but remember Trump has that canny ability to know about things...it’s really weird, like Paris before it happened...a few other things he has come out with...I would not second judge him...

Besides that, he does things like this, the media has a crumb and then look at what happens, now we know about Boeing and Iran’s 16.6 Billion dollar deal...anyone else you know that can do that???
