Trump To Change 55 Year Tradition Of Air Force One
President Trump to bring Air Force One’s paint job into the 21st Century.
The Washington Examiner Reports:
AdvertisementPresident Trump is looking to give Air Force One a new paint job to give it a “more American” look.Instead of keeping up with the 55-year-old tradition of white and robin’s-egg blue, the president wants it to be red, white, and blue, Axios reported.
Trump sat down with Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg in the Oval Office in February to personally work out the $4 billion deal for the new 747s. Besides just a redesign of the planes, Trump also wants to make the presidential bed larger and more comfortable.
The current design of Air Force One goes back to the early 1960s, when the white and blue design was put into place after President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jackie Kennedy approved the design.The report suggested the Air Force could push back on the move, as some top officers prefer the current look, which they point out is “known around the world.” Trump will only be able to go through with these changes if he is re-elected in 2020 as the new Boeing 747s are unlikely to actually be in presidential service until after Jan. 20, 2021.
It will be the first time a sitting president has changed the paint job on the Air Force One since Kennedy was in office. The presidential jet is a symbol of American power and prestige, and President Trump’s modernization would make for a fitting change, to symbolize the change President Trump has brought to Washington.

55 years is not much of a tradition except for the democrats.
Go for AMERICA PRES. TRUMP. RED,WHIT & BLUE IS JUST FINE,
Red, White & Blue…Fantastic!! Our POTHUS is regaining the respect that was lost over the prior 8 years of the Socialist Democrat administration. If anyone has any doubts about Trump’s actions, I suggest reading his book, The Art Of The Deal. In addition, he has turned the tables on the fake news and Democrats using their own tactics. They are just too dumb to know what he is doing and have no idea the majority people in the US have had enough of the swamp in DC. The gravy train is rapidly running out of steam in DC. Before President Trump is finished, I expect to see God back in our schools, then Pledge Of Alegent back in schools as it was in the past, Christmas parties instead of Holiday parties and all of the other attacks on the tradition of the United States of America, respect for our military and law enforcement. Those that dislike our traditions and want to change our traditions are free to leave the US. After living 7 miles from Mexico on the Texas-Mexico border for 75 years, I have seen the illegals get away with things that make one’s blood boil. They come when in labor so their child is a US citizen and that is encouraged by our government. There is nothing wrong with a LEGAL immigrant who learns our language, throws down their flag and respects our flag, gets a job and pays taxes. No more Social Security benefits for immigrants (legal and illegal) that are over 65 and have never paid a penny into SSI. Keep the heat on President Trump; it is working.
I love the idea of a red white and blue Air Force 1! I totally trust President Trump to make beautiful changes
He’s earned the right to do this. Plus will get a better deal than O’blamo tried.
……..Red White and Blue is going to be!!,….America vote GOP this 2018, and 2020!!,….
Red White and Blue THE PROPER COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!
American colors, not global colors. This is fun. I like it.
ISN’T HE GREAT TNS PRESIDENT TRUMP. ATTN DEMOCRAT COMMUNISTS. YOU PLAY WITHN THE BIG BOYS YOU PAY WITH THE BIG BOYS. TRUMPS NEW TITLE GOD SENT
Perfect color selection,
Is this a necessary expense? Is this something the country really needs? If there are 323 million Americans in the country, that will be an expenditure which taxes every man, woman, and child in America a little over $12/person. If you got by taxpaying adults, it would be over $50/person.
I spill that much every month.
WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT CARES ABOUT OUR COUNTRY, GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY.
Thank you, Jesus, for our wonderful President.

I really like President Trump’s ideas … He is making a big difference. He is a real President and Chief Executive. What a refreshing change! We have had to endure Presidents along the way that had no clue about being a real Executive. I am hoping that he will have a great 8 Year run and show America what an experienced and qualified President really looks like!
And another 8 years as VP under President Pense.
Fantastic!
I cannot imagine topping this president in 2024. The last guy in the WH made it feel like I was wading through quicksand for eight years. Now I’m on a toboggan run going 70 miles an hour. Give’m hell, Mr. President. America is enjoying the ride!
Hilarious. Gee, I wonder why he wants a bigger bed? Could it be he’s the heaviest president we’ve had since air Force one was built.
Tort Reform and Term Limits and the nation will accelerate into a historical image of success.
Stars and Bars would look great
There’s no doubt it should have been Red/White/and Blue from the start! Our Colors Our Flag! This has always been the American Patriots Wishes!
Red , white and blue should be the colors for Air Force One !
WHY DO YOU ALLOW THE TRASHY, WHOREY PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR WEB SITE? THIS IS NOT BE-FITTING FOR AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. PLEASE, WE DO NOT NEED TO SEE NAKED ASSES, BREASTS, BIKINI’S ETC. REALLY, REALLY RAUNCHY!!!
I’m confident El Trumpo appreciates the website contents. He has demonstrated that for many years. I didn’t vote for a PREACHER. I voted for a real man who has already surpassed my previous favorite POTUS, Ronald Reagan and shows no signs of slowing down. Every morning I awaken and think of my favorite two words PRESIDENT TRUMP.
You don’t like the addition at the bottom just skip that part next !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No they shouldn’t receive any monetary help at all. Social Security is suppose to be a private service for workers and their employee, it is not for government use, nor is it for other people except for the employee or employer. It sole purpose is to provide the employee benefits when they retire.
Then why do illegals get it?
Red white and blue is an excellent idea!
Social Security is for US citizens not freeloading immigrants.
Excellent idea! Lots of red some white and the rear end a small amount of blue!
President Trump has given so much of himself and done so very much for our Country, how could we possibly entertain a negative remark about this change? It is patriotic and screams power and strength! God will make this happen as Trump is God’s man for such a time as this! Thank you President and Mrs. Trump for loving and sacrificing for US! God Bless America…and He WILL as long as we honor and glorify Him!
President Trump is batting 1000%, so whatever he says is okay with patriotic Americans. This is a great leader who is putting America first and making it great again. Now lets all get behind our president so he can keep on doing the right things to keep America great. The Democratic Communists will say or do anything to disrupt and obstruct President Trump, but the American people are too smart to be influenced by them. GO TRUMP ! GO PENCE ! Martin Korab
You said it. GO TRUMP !!!
Excellent and appropriate! The colors signify the meaning of USA- Valour for Red, White for Purity, and Blue for Justice
The report suggested the Air Force could push back on the move, as some top officers prefer the current look, which they point out is “known around the world.” The Wrght Brothers Wright Flyer was also known around the world, but time marches on, as does design…
I am so proud to be an American and being a part of this presidents term. I’m a retired Navy Chief and proud to be serving this president as Commander in Chief. All Americans should stand tall. Teach our kids what its all about.
One more thing to restore American Pride—- Well Done President Trump and May God Continue to Bless You and Yours~~!!!
Don’t make changes because it is known the world over? That would be reason TO change it. Too well recognized, just like our money WAS too easy to counterfeit a few yrs ago.
NO OTHER FLAG OR ‘COLOURS’ IS AS WELL KNOWN AND MORE RECOGNIZED THAN THE STARS AND STRIPES OF OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA……….
MANY PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM RECOGNIZING OTHER COUNTRY’S FLAGS BUT NO ONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS AS TO WHO WE ARE WHEN THEY SEE OUR ‘STAR SPANGLED BANNER’……..
EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET KNOWS THAT OUR BANNER STANDS FOR ‘FREEDOM’…’LIBERTY’…AND ‘JUSTICE’ FOR ‘ALL’….NOT JUST AMERICANS , BUT FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD AND EVERY OTHER COUNTRY THROUGHOUT KNOWS THEIR ENEMIES TREMBLE IN FEAR WHEN THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE ‘STAR SPANGLED BANNER’ OF ‘RED’, ‘WHITE’ AND ‘BLUE’ COME TO THEIR AID AND LEADS THEM TO ‘VICTORY’……..
THEREFORE, IT IS ONLY FITTING THAT THIS MAJESTIC BIRD THAT CARRIES THE PRESIDENT AND LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD BE DECKED IN THE COLOURS OF ‘FREDOM’ AND ‘LIBERTY’….AND THE ‘STARS’ OF IT’S ‘UNION’…….
YES, ‘THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER’ OF THE ‘LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE’……..GOD’S COUNTRY AND PEOPLE……
YES, ‘RED’, ‘WHITE’ AND ‘BLUE’…..WE HAVE COME, WE ARE HERE…..HAVE NO FEAR….
GOD BLESS OUR BELOVED AMERICA AND HER TROOPS…..KEEP THEM SAFE……
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY…KEEP THEM SAFE AS WELL…..
hey yahoos…..
where is my post……
WHERE IS MY POST……..
Absolutely ! Re – Design. POTUS DJT = 1st Class , IN
Such Matters. Thank you. smz/mi
I agree with President Trump: Red – White – Blue. This is America and America is known by its amazing colors and design of its flag and nothing could be more appropriate for our president as a way to show his patriotism. So, let it fly; let it fly; let it fly!!!! AND let’s do all that we can to help President Trump in his quest to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
What’s so patriotic about white and blue? It’s the red that started our
great country on to become the greatest “destination” of people all
over the world. And, might I add, the RED stands for the blood shed
on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of patriots, young and old,
to keep this country as a truly world haven.
I would like to see a large bald eagle “bust” with two AR15 in crossed arms, and a “Go America, Fuck Yeah!” inscribed below it, in American font bold.
president Trump is what America needs. Just don’t let the Clintons. obama , holder and the other traders excape punishment. Don’t let their harmful deeds be covered up. Their plan for America was nothing less than high lever treason. Bring forth the penality to them for their crime.
ronnie, totally agree with you. Obama and his administration, backed by Soros have plotted to take down the USA. Exposure of the corruption and prosecution must be done to let the world know that actions have consequences and the consequences need to be more severe than the actions so this crap never happens again.
Amen Brothers! They (Obama, Hillary & their cronies) must be punished for their traitorist deeds, JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!
I am aware that by writing this, I will be called a dumb and stupid supporter of President Donald Trump.
Honestly, I do not care.
I am very disappointed that people treat the president in such a horrible way. The derogatory language used against the president is shocking. He is daily mocked for no valid reason at all. He is being picked on for his hairstyle, governing style, Russian meddling in our internal matters. Accurate or not, we should not be indulging in this type of conduct no matter what. Moreover, they are not crucial enough to waste our energies and resources. How does it matter what his hairstyle is or the way he communicates. We should be focusing on the superb performance he has shown in the last 16 months that he has been in the office. Let me highlight some of his achievements, in case people have forgotten:
1 Taking steps to make Korean peninsula nuclear-free zone. Whether he eventually succeeds or not is not essential. He has brought the world at the doorstep of peace. Instead of ridiculing him all the time, work with him, pray for him and encourage him so that he can achieve this significant breakthrough.
I am distressed at Mr Schummer and MsPelosi.They are constant complainers. Their negativity is unbelievable. They would instead destroy the country rather than acknowledging the successes of the president.
2 Took China head-on, on the South China Sea, trade, and military
3 Dealing with Taiwan without China
4 Appointment of conservative judges to Supreme Court
5 Economy- More jobs, more productivity, Dow on the rise,
Direct foreign investment into the US from US companies
as well as external entities
6 Improvements in Veteran Affairs
7 Tremendous progress in Immigration
8 Removing all the irrelevant regulations
9 Made NATO members pay more for their defence
10 Bring some sanity to trade with our allies by using tariff provisions.
These are the few of many accomplishments to his credit.
Acknowledge them and thank the president. Your integrity and character lie in such acceptance.
I reject Democrats. They are not happy when the president achieves something good for the country. They are delighted at the president’s problems, e.g. Russian investigation. They are so ticked off at losing the elections in 2016 that they would do anything to make the life of the president difficult. They are not helping in the confirmation process of various judges and other federal appointments. They are a stumbling block in anything that the president wishes to do.

Virinder, thank you for this excellent comment. You said it very well and we all agree!
God bless you sir! I agree with you 100%. The naysayers, the jealous sour grapes, the fear of their skullduggery over decades being uncovered and dealt with, their self enrichment at the expense of normal hardworking citizens, is what is driving this, not to mention those whoa re actually running the deep state, communist/Marxist globalists who want God and the 10 Commandments as well as Americas Constitution dn history wiped form future generations!
Sounds like an excellent reason to vote REPUBLICAN in Nov!
All of the criminals need to be investigated and brought to Justice. No exceptions for Obama, Eric Holder, Lois Lerner,Loreta Lynch, Bill Clinton, Hillary and all of the leakers in the White House, the Justice Department and the State Department. No one should be above the law- including Maxine Waters!
I never see a liberal who is happy. They have scowls on their faces and are full of hate! I love President Trump and what he is doing for our country! I’m ready to find out the truth about JFK and JFK, Jr on the anniversary of JFK, Jr’s death 18 years ago. Trump was good friends with him, and I believe he will reveal what really happened.
Bravo for the change of color and to Mr. Seth!
I have lived for a long time and my ancestors have been here since 1609 Jamestowne, and I never thought I would see such disrespect shown for our President! I did not see this done to the last holder of this office and he was beyond contempt in SO many ways! President Trump is MY president and I am proud of all that he is doing for our country and he YOUR president too unless you are illegal of course. But don’t get me started there…
Air Force One looks drab. It’s time to spiff it up, and President Trump knows how to do it. Since President Trump will remain in office until January 2025, he should make sure that he is comfortable in it. Besides, red, white, and blue are the colors of our flag!
You amaze me President Donald Trump. Keep up the good work. God is on
your side..
Colors of the flag sound good to me!! Thank god for President Trump.
You know he’s got our backs!!
Right decision, Mr. President! Way to Go!
Thank you President Donald Trump for just being our President of our country. We have a
great country if everyone takes care of it and don’t throw garbage on the roads, No speeding
so we don’t have accidents and people get hurt, Keep our country safe to drive in. And thanks
to the people that care to take care of the country and to the men and women that service to keep
our land free for all U.S. Citizens, God Bless America,
