During an interview with ABC News this week, President Trump unveiled a new color scheme for Air Force One that he said he designed himself for the next generation of the presidential fleet of Boeing 747s. But lawmakers who have to approve the cost might have different ideas.
The red, white and blue layout Trump came up with is a departure from the blue-and-white scheme that has been in place since the 1960s. Last year, Trump struck a deal with Boeing to purchase two Air Force One planes at a cost of $3.9 billion.
"As I understand it, these planes are not even going to be delivered until late 2024, 2025,” said Committee Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash. “This president is not going to fly on this plane under any circumstances … we're simply trying to exercise our oversight responsibilities to try to save the taxpayers money.”
Trump agreed during the ABC News interview, saying, “"I'm doing that for other presidents, not for me.”
“Air Force One is going to be incredible,” said Trump in an interview with CBS News. “It's gonna be the top of the line, the top in the world. And it's gonna be red, white and blue, which I think is appropriate."

Seriously, new color schemed is going to be burden on taxpayers?
