The current Air Force One paint job is the result of collaboration between JFK and Raymond Loewy, one of the fathers of industrial design.
Donald Trump is a one term impeached president who twice lost the popular vote and whose taste lends itself to gold toilets and cheap casinos. Rather than bring in a top tier professional designer, like JFK did, he basically duplicated his personal aircraft design. Whereas the current design of Air Force One is a symbol of the United States recognized around the world, Trump's design will look like a cheap airline.
I'm surprised there isn't the image of an eagle on the nose, and the word "TRUMP" on the vertical stabilizer.
Fortunately, Biden will have the option of returning to the existing design, if he acts soon.
