They need new planes. The ones in use now are pretty long in the tooth.
Bet Trump wishes he could fly in his own plane and live in his own home.... The WH and AF1 are lame compared to his own stuff.

Stupid headline...
Sounds like a good idea, a cancellation of several orders of the 747-800 series would be a bargain basement deal, obviously still will be the refit of essential equipment and particular equipment that a POTUS requires.
Trump knows aircraft, no doubts about that. And i wouldn’t be surprised if he was to even bring back a Concorde to be an AF1. Or a revised version, smaller, uniquely American and far faster.
Ol’ Lolita did her best to “imply” they were “Russian planes”, didn’t she?
I guess, like Gruber, she’s counting on the “ignorance of the American people” to interpret the headline that way.
Maybe the world’s most flagrant click-bait headline.
(At least, so far — for the month of August.)
