Get Boeing to build them.

mort-dtw.bsky.social•3 days ago

One month in and I've thought the word dumbass more times than the previous decade.

kimshere.bsky.social•2 days ago

And I can't seem to complete a single sentence without using the word "pigf*ckers"...I'm starting to annoy myself....🤷‍♀️

nessa65.bsky.social•3 days ago

Republicans are sick and immoral.

spiritualized67.bsky.social•3 days ago

I couldn’t agree more! The faster Boeing can roll out a new plane for Trump the better. Suggest using the 737 Max design!

llessu.bsky.social•2 days ago

I see some still pakaged stall sensors over there in the corner that will speed delivery and save on cost.

karmageddon.bsky.social•3 days ago

And yes, so relax those security clearances for the people who build it. Maybe hire some 19-yr olds who used to work for Elon.

au-ug.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely!

moldyteeth.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because they both live in their own carefully constructed fantasy worlds.

beverlymann19.bsky.social•2 days ago

And don't forget the firing of all - *all* - the air traffic controller trainees at the FAA.

Hoping that the next midair collision is between Marc Andreessen's favorite private jet, carrying him, and Elon Musk's, carrying him.

dmuz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can't feed the hungry but his fat ass needs a new jet? Seriously screwed up priorities

katiespn411.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course his DOGE boys and all Republicans will be perfectly fine with this massive waste of money!

gumbas22.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let them cut cost and deliver it to him fast. Boieng knows all to well how to do it. Screw any safety features.

indylu.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuck trump and his cabal of corrupt thugs

risingresistor.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wonder what happens when you rush a plane to be finished before it's ready? 🤔

foxford.bsky.social•2 days ago

He just said they’re spending 100s of millions of dollars on drug advertising.🙄

tonirose24.bsky.social•2 days ago

I want to believe in divine retribution. It sure is taking a long time. There may be nothing left of this country by the time it comes.

bluefrommagioh.bsky.social•2 days ago

He just wants to see that snow white paint job.

pham60.bsky.social•3 days ago

Remember he wanted a new AF 1 his first term and it did happen.

katesskatess.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah well the citizens would like a well heeled FAA and enough Air Traffic Controllers so we aren’t enduring crashes every frigging week. Pos he is.

ben-franklin-ghost.bsky.social•2 days ago

EVERYTHING Trump, Musk and minions are doing is part of a plan. Dems must know what it is and act proactively. So far they are reacting. If we continue reacting to all this shit, we’ve already lost.

scardiecat.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sure rush it...I hope it's safe. Hmmm

theclosetmonster.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let him have the extra planes. They way they're falling from the sky now we'll have better odds.

suesea7.bsky.social•3 days ago

The 2 current planes used as Air Force One are 35 years old - time for a change. (I worked at Boeing doing computer support before the accountants started running the show and planes started falling out of the sky.) Plenty of disagreements with Trump and Musk, but this is not unreasonable.

lswlsw.bsky.social•3 days ago

That would really make America great again to have him and maybe elon and vance and a few of the worst GOP congresspeople (Johnson,Thune) on a new shiny plane that goes boom!
Sorry, I never used to think thoughts like this never mind say them before a few weeks ago 🤦‍♀️

jdinjc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump has to have one flying just for himself because of the weight limit.

jukesgrrl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not to mention how many armored Teslas we just ordered for Trump?

kmhutch.bsky.social•2 days ago

I bet the 8% they cut from the Pentagon won't affect Musk's contracts....

karmageddon.bsky.social•3 days ago

But this one has Biden's cooties in it, Norm.

creakybones.bsky.social•2 days ago

I completely agree with Trump on this one. Rushing Beoing on his personal jets is a great idea. Especially now that they've made savings at the FAA.

queerlyexhausted.bsky.social•2 days ago

Even better if Big Balls is lead engineer

thedude76.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuck Donald Trump

katesskatess.bsky.social•2 days ago

You have a way with words. Chef’s kiss.

camofarc.bsky.social•2 days ago

And he wants to renovate the WH and grounds to be "like mar a lago."

ghostofmajoad.bsky.social•2 days ago

Please let them get on a Boeing 🙏

akrealness.bsky.social•2 days ago

Maybe Tesla can build it, in China, Temu branded engines.

tendrilita.bsky.social•1 day ago

A rushed plane in this case? Fantastic idea.

kathdud.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump isn’t cutting back any of his spending and neither is Congress

magiclady58.bsky.social•2 days ago

why does he needs two ?

omchant.bsky.social•2 days ago

Rush the planes , scotch tape works great. And let him fly it as soon as possible.

jwbfat16.bsky.social•2 days ago

Please, please paint it orange so that we can get out of the way.

au-ug.bsky.social•3 days ago

He can fly commercial. Let's see how that goes.

itsjustmescott.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sir, I would like to say maybe you are being a bit harsh. maybe let Boeing ( look at their history) build his planes maybe let him cut security clearances. Maybe Trump and his team take a trip over the ocean and it has missing bolts? bad seals? a disgruntled mechanic?

It could be a blessing

briancbock.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sure. Let anyone work on the plane. Cut back security and systems geared at command and control of the Military during a time of crisis. What could go wrong? At least Trump would have his gold seat belt bucket and gold airplane toilet.

mrgq.bsky.social•3 days ago

Boeing makes air force one so…

mindwalkermana.bsky.social•2 days ago

Shit let him have them now. They're not ready but you gotta do what the man asks! Don't worry about safety inspections or anything!! Should be fine. Don't worry about these plains falling from the sky, I'm sure it's fine. 😇

harrowedsparrow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump supporters won't mind. They're the same middle-class/lower-class people who donate their SS money to televangelists who use that money to live a lavish lifestyle.

There is none so blind as he who cannot see.

Suckers.
