Trump wasted public money buying two discounted passenger airliners to replace Air Force One thinking it would save money, only for those planes to require millions more to convert to military grade planes. A totally wasteful and naive decision. Pay cheap, pay twice. www.reuters.com/business/aer... - ThreadSky

A real savvy businessman…….

Does every president get a new plane? And, didn't he say the same thing about the last one he had in his first term? I have questions. 🤔

carriercarnes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Turns out, I should have read the article first. I have fewer questions now. 😁

I’m not sad that he bought Boeing planes…

His Hitleresque personality is on full display and Americans just eat what they are fed. WE, the world, are witnessing the "Fall of The American Empire" while its victims cheer it on.

That's what trump does best waste are money dam

domb1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sounds like he’s setting things up for another Space X contract with Musk to pride him something else.

freedomshift.bsky.social•2 days ago

IMHO, this purchase wasn't about saving money. He's already admitted he wanted a decoy plane to travel in to avoid getting targeted in AF1 by bad actors.

leiao.bsky.social•2 days ago

Leave off the military grade then. He's into cost cutting waste, right?

ritabbb.bsky.social•2 days ago

When has Trump NOT made "totally wasteful and naive decisions"?

nevertrumper2012.bsky.social•2 days ago

So many plain disasters could we cross our fingers and hope for the best?!!!

"The Art Of the Deal", bit like when you try to offer a war ravaged country $500B for $15T+ of rare earth and get a polite no thanks, so then throw a tantrum dumping support for Ukr and US allies that Died in Iraq for the US, instead getting cosy with a indicted War Criminal.

Being leader of free world costs. But not being will cost the entire US far more, promoting Nuclear proliferation and a far more instable world than defending democracy and countries fighting for their freedom. If he taxed billionaires, lowering cost of living entirely possible at same time.

mandrackon.bsky.social•2 days ago

USA are no more a free country, it's a billionaires land that doesn't care about his people or other countries unless they have dictators.

That is what they are attempting, but I do believe the Dems are now over the confusion, which was the purpose scatter policy. Dems formulating plans to inform ppl on holding Trmp admin accountable

His press secretary labelling him in one of her rants as "the greatest deal maker on the planet" lmfao

How do we stop this .....oh yeah tell Elon so he can see waste here

kansasgirlforever.bsky.social•2 days ago

Because Trump is stupid.

truth-before-dogma.bsky.social•2 days ago

I've worked in aircraft acquisitions for many years, and it's obvious that Trump has no idea about large transport category aircraft operations and maintenance. He probably thinks they're just pieces of flying real estate! And he sacked all those professional aviation workers at the FAA. Mmmm ...

Too bad they aren't 737-max's..

dachsy.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees.

Maybe they should not fly? Especially with discounted passenger airliners.

Not enough trashy flashy fake gold crap, starting with the toilets??

kezhall.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump blaming his decisions on another party. Sounds right. I keep thinking shrewd businesses do not engage with a grifter. Guess that is wrong or Boeing not savvy.
Anyone recall the definition of insanity?

jkell-7777.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, I am beyond shocked! This clown has to be the least knowledgeable president we have ever had!!! He basically knows nothing about everything and just makes the call.

bikeguy2024.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why doesn't he still fly in the Sex Trafficking plane he bought from Jeffrey Epstein!!!!!!!

sailormoon78.bsky.social•2 days ago

Everything is about how to better glorifying the king and his cult. A Typical self-centered behavior from an egomaniac. Why? Just to “look” as a strawman.

Someone should tell Musk that he can save billions at a stroke. Just fire the incompetent useless waste of space called the president. I would also recommend that once fired he should be quickly interred as his orange embalming fluid indicates that he's overdue for planting.
