The original projected cost was 4bn for one plane.
This deal is for two planes, new hangars and all of the support needed to house and maintain them.
Ha ha! You really believe that, don’t you?
This post is completely inaccurate. The $4B estimate was for 2 planes and all associated support. The new estimate of $5.3B includes the identical 2 planes and associated support. It’s a massive cost overrun.
You don’t have to defend everything Trump man. Especially to the point of lying. Good grief.
Bwahahahahaha. Did you seriously just use a Donald Trump tweet as supporting documentation for your inaccurate claim of the $4B estimate being only for 1 plane and no associated support of AF1?
Man, I knew you were knee-deep in Trumpism, defending literally everything he does, but I had no clue just how far gone you were. Using his tweets as proof now? Perhaps loosen the MAGA hat a little and allow the blood to freely flow back to the brain.

Trump’s whining yesterday that no one thanked him for McCain’s funeral is the perfect example
of what you posted.

From your article:
It’s unclear how accurate Mr. Trump’s information is on how much the new flying White Houses will cost. The only money earmarked for the Air Force One project is $170 million for Boeing’s initial design and engineering work – although the company stands to make billions on it in the future.
“Some of the statistics that have been cited, shall we say,don’t appear to reflect the nature of the financial arrangement
between Boeing and the Department of Defense,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters flying with Mr. Obama…
A Defense Department official said that, in all, there is $2.7 billion for Air Force One authorized in a Pentagon spending bill passed by the House of Representatives and pending before the Senate. How solid is the government’s commitment to Boeing to build the plane? Very solid. No one can foresee the government awarding the contract ultimately to, say, Airbus, the European aerospace consortium. The Defense official said that, as the project moves into later stages, either Boeing or the government could walk away, or seek modifications.
Bloomberg News pegged the total cost for the two new planes at $3.2 billion. A standard 747-800 costs an average of $380 million.
Feel better?
I didn’t see anyone else mistakenly point out a change of topic so I’m not sure what ‘pile’ you’re talking about. I also didn’t see anyone else admit the mistake but if it makes you feel better to target me, I’m glad to make you feel better.
Wow. That is funny man. Sad, but funny.
Its just a boondoggle down in the mines
