Why did Donald Trump take a shot at Boeing?

While the plane is used to ferry the president and other government leaders around the world, it is an U.S. Air Force plane and will be designed with defense capabilities as well as areas for conducting national business.

It’s become commonplace for President-elect #Donald Trump to start his morning with a tirade on #Twitter.

Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that Mr Trump’s remarks “do not appear to reflect arrangements” made between the aircraft manufacturer, Boeing, and the US Air Force. “I think taxpayers want to make sure that we’re seeing absolute accountability and that the government is doing the best to drive costs down”, he said in response to a question.

Boeing has not actually started to build a new Air Force One but the company says it is now under contract to determine the requirements of the proposed replacements which are scheduled to come into service in 2024. The project will not be over in 2021, however, and PolitiFact reported that it would require another $1 billion after 2021 to finish the job.

USA presidents have used Boeing’s planes since 1943. The planes were built in the 1980s and began flying in the early 1990s.

KING 5 Aviation Specialist Glenn Farley says Boeing would be paid to build the basic airplane.

Earlier this month, Trump lauded a deal with United Technologies Corp’s Carrier to keep some US positions in exchange for $7 million in tax breaks following a Thanksgiving Day tweet on the negotiations. “Donald Trump takes on individual companies in a way that is unprecedented for a major American political figure”.

Trump has frequently singled out companies for criticism especially those planning to move jobs overseas, like Ford and Carrier.

One thing is clear: this is not going to be a presidency that promotes education.

He said the estimated 4 billion cost was “totally out of control” and “ridiculous”. A medical suite can function as an operating room in an emergency, and a doctor is always on board.

Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump attends a campaign rally at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida August 10, 2016. The Air Force awarded Boeing an initial contract worth almost $26 million to reduce risk and lower cost. It’s going to be over four billion dollars for Air Force One program. The new plane, which the Defense Department had hoped to deliver to the White House by 2023, would have been more powerful, able to travel farther and more technologically advanced.

Trump can easily get the inside story about Boeing’s AF1 costs and profits from McNerney.

SCHAPER: I really think that that’s nearly unthinkable because of politics in the U.S. Boeing has a long history of making the airplanes that fly the American president dating back to the days of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the early 1940s.

The first new Air Force One isn’t expected to be operational until 2019 or 2020.

Yes, but not before he is sworn in to office on January 20.
