Trump Tantrum: HIS Boeing Air Force One Ready in 2029

Trump angrily confronted Boeing CEO upon learning Air Force One updates delayed until 2029

More

During his first administration, then-President Donald Trump ordered a slew of updates to Air Force One. But aircraft manufacturer Boeing says the updates may not not be ready until his eventual successor is in the White House.

The Daily Beast reported Friday that Boeing's delayed delivery schedule has frustrated the president-elect so much that he's reportedly been berating both Boeing's CEO and his own staff. The Beast's Leigh Kimmins wrote that Trump had made revamping Air Force One his "pet project," and was supposedly livid when hearing he wouldn't personally get to use the new plane.

Comments

"The Telegraph reported that the jets were meant to be an "extension of the Oval Office" once the updates are complete.

They will be fitted with boardrooms, meetings rooms, military avionics and self-defense systems.

An unnamed Air Force spokesperson told the Beast that an update on the delivery timeline is expected sometime in the spring of 2025.

Boeing's delay on the new generation of Air Force One may be due to a seven-week strike by the company's workers that ended in November.

The Seattle-based company's operations were significantly hampered after 33,000 machinists went on strike over wage negotiations. The machinist union's members ultimately agreed to a contract that would increase their wages by 38% over the next four years."

WOW... that Strike was even more successful than we first knew. A twofer, getting a decent contract AND slapping the Orange B around a bit.

Lewzer is the one that screwed it up the last time with his big "deal" contract.

The gelatinous orange turd will have to make do with Epstein's old jet.

Lewzer? You mean ABC and George Stephanopoulos?

Lewzer owes E Jean Carroll $83 million.

@#4 .. You mean ABC and George Stephanopoulos? ...

In my view on that deflection...

Yes.

Pennies for Disney to contribute to a charity?

And you seem to think that is a victory?

The Telegraph reported that the jets were meant to be an "extension of the Oval Office" once the updates are complete.

So, basically, black fake silk sleeping masks decorated with gold sequin T's hand-sewn by a recently reeducated Uyghur preteen at one of Ivanka's Chinese concessions; jumbo-sized nap bed with a black velvet cover bearing a sprayed-on image of Donald Trump in full scowl mode painted by one of East LA's better known low rider street artists; a hot pink Louis XIV-style makeup vanity festooned with blinking lights in alternating colors (either red-white-blue or white-blue-red or blue-red-white) from the 1980 Mae West Estate Sale; and wall-to-wall ultra-horizontally convex, extra-large funhouse mirrors from the Carnival Depot. But wait, there's more!

But wait, there's more!

Lewzer's big thing was to change the paint scheme so it looked like his old 757. Presidents get to make small personal touches in the onboard office... LBJ added a hat hanger, JFK had a pipe rack.
