. @realDonaldTrump reportedly wishes to re-paint the new Air Force One a shade that "isn't a Jackie Kennedy color," as is the current robin's egg blue. This @mikeallen scoop is the best of the day:

From article...Axios.Sarah Grillo..President Trump wants to update the paint job on the next version of Air Force One, ditching the iconic robin's-egg blue (which he calls a "Jackie Kennedy color") for a bolder, "more American" look.

Axios has learned that Trump had one specification for the plane that could cause tension with the Air Force and surprise around the world:

Trump wants to change the plane's signature blue-and-white look that goes back 55 years, to a redesign of the presidential aircraft by President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy in the early 1960s.

We’re told that Trump wants a color scheme that "looks more American" and isn’t a "Jackie Kennedy color." He doesn’t think the current blue (technically "luminous ultramarine") represents the USA.

The president's preferred design is believed to include red, white and blue.

"He can do it," said a source familiar with the negotiations, when asked about whether Trump can make the change:

ALERT:SNIDE Writer OPINION HERE...

But the change could cause friction with the Air Force. We're told some top officers like the current look, which they point out is "known around the world." Another upgrade: Trump is quite proud of his personal Boeing 757, which he used as his campaign plane:

We're told he wants the presidential bed aboard Air Force One to be larger and more comfortable — more like the executive livery package on his personal plane than the current, couch-like sleeping configuration aboard Air Force One.

Trump may only get to enjoy his dream ride if he's reelected: The new 747s are very unlikely to be in presidential service before Jan. 20, 2021. Two planes still need to be converted from commercial aircraft into flying White Houses.

When I told presidential historian Michael Beschloss about Trump's plans, he replied: "Why would anyone want to discard an Air Force One design that evokes more than a half-century of American history?"..

NIKK..of course Sarah had to search for someone to trash our President and think he's also higher up than our number one MAN here in the USA..its called PRESIDENT..

"Every time you see that blue trim and the words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' spelled out in that same typeface as an early version of the Declaration of Independence, it brings back JFK landing in Germany to speak at the Berlin Wall, Richard Nixon flying to China, Ronald Reagan stepping off the plane to see Gorbachev in Iceland and a thousand other scenes of Presidents in our past." "JFK and Jackie Kennedy approved that timeless design (created pro bono by the premier mid-20th century industrial designer Raymond Loewy) to replace an earlier version of Air Force One that had simply said 'MILITARY AIR TRANSPORT SERVICE' and which made conspicuous use of the color orange, which Kennedy rightfully found 'gaudy.'"

"It was JFK who chose what Loewy called the 'luminous ultramarine blue' that has appeared on every version of Air Force One (and some other Presidential aircraft) from 1962 on."

"Anyone who doubts how strongly Americans feel about the way Air Force One looks should go to the Reagan Library in California and see how many people go there to look at the plane that Ronald Reagan flew on while he was President."***********************************

NIKK..I know..she's NOT the sharpest pencil in the drawer to think people go to the library to see the color of a plane...forget about the history there. BUT then...we know how smart Sewer Rats are when it comes to actually writing their own articles...(and who's the ghost writer here?)

I’ve always hated that light blue and wondered what woman chose that soft color.

And was there a BIG stink when the Kennedy’s wanted to change the “gaudy” orange plane?

No, of course not.

This is just more of the “RESIST” crapola, really getting tired of it.

Joy Joy-less, “How can a President under suspicion of colluding with the Russians appoint another SC Judge?”

1st he is not “under suspicion” as we have been told the Special Council isn’t targeting Trump, and 2nd, how can he? Duh, he’s the President!!

Same reasoning can be said here, how can he change the color? DUH, HE’S THE PRESIDENT!!!
