How about waiting until the tires need replacing to switch brands rather than waste taxpayer money on what might be perfectly fine tires?

How about it comes out of his salary (which he donates) and we call it even?

Hell let hem donate them to a needy police station squad car somewhere. The can still get some use.

Or shred them up for use in a repaving project. Plenty of ways they can serve a purpose.

Sell them on ebay. If we ever get back to normal Normal, a bar in Las Vegas will buy them for more than MSRP.

On VIP protection units like those they change the tires *frequently* to avoid problems. So it won’t be long.

I agree. It is like people who dumped absolut vodka down the drain several years ago. They did this after they already paid for it. I’d drink it but then buy no more.

"...How about waiting..."


President Trump has enough money that he could personally finance the swap and have the America-hating Goodyear tires repurposed elsewhere.

Trump is probably paying out of pocket for the swap.

But does not The Beast have special tires that can’t be shredded by guns, explosives, etc.?

Because the political value of replacing them now is orders of magnitude greater than the cost, which, in any event, is utterly insignificant in the context of federal budgeting.

Where have you been .this past 4 years?

Just the Trump modus operandi

Unexpected

Massive

Dims discombobulated

You really think that the Trumpster is going to wait till the tires on the Beast have worn down?

I think the Pres should have an auction of the tires and raise money for a worthy cause or charity of his choosing. Bet that would raise some serious cash and be fun to watch the bidding.

How about not? I don't care about $2000 on a new set of whatever exotic tires the presidential car needs. We are spending trillions on stimulus packages which are needed solely because of government shutdowns. Mentioning the cost of a set of tires when it comes to government waste is like mentioning a fleabite when we're halfway down the lion's throat.

Unfortunately, I bought 4 new Goodyear tires about a month ago. If I had known, they were going to get woke, I would have bought Firestone or another brand. There is no way I could have known. Unless Goodyear gets a clue, those will be the last Goodyear tires I will ever buy. 🤪 Let’s see if they NOW get unwoke. 🤣
