Biden scraps Air Force One's paint job that the previous one wanted done!

[imanamerican63]

It would not be a good idea anyway, because of the sensitivities of the heat to the plane and security reasons, then there’s the cost of the paint job! Biden was right to scrap the idea of this Trumpt up idea !

1. Holy shit... I forgot about that idiocy...

So much stupid in such a few years... I just can't remember it all

[The Unmitigated Gall]

2. Shitflinger probably wanted it all done in gold leaf.

[JHB]

4. No, he wanted it to mirror the color scheme of his private plane...

...to further smear his "brand" all over every symbol of presidential power.

Trump's private jet:



Trump's recoloring of AF1, now nixed by a real president:

5. Isn't that piece of crap, private plane of his sitting in a storage...

yard in Jersey needing extensive maintenance as trump apparently won't/can't afford to fix it?

12. Douchebag claims he's restoring it with Rolls Royce engines

I'll believe it when I see him fly in it to his rallies.

9. He stole the scale model in the bottom picture.

It's sitting on a coffee table at Muck A Lego.



It was undoubtedly paid for by taxpayer money. And these presentation models aren't cheap.

15. Who decorated that room?

Goddam, but that's the gaudiest, cheapest roomful of junk I have ever seen - - - the walls, the chandelier - - - looks like something designed by a moron with no taste.

[Scrivener7]

16. I think the style is called "Not Very Clean Funeral Parlor." It was popular

during the Franco Prussian War.

22. "Poor man's idea...

of how a rich man lives."

Except all the poor I know have better taste!

[Victor_c3]

23. I believe the style is called "dictator chic"

I remember seeing a couple of articles during trump's time in the White House comparing his style to that of dictators like Sadam Husein.

21. Is that a picture of Queen Elizabeth?

Looks like an alcove on the right, with a doorway - hanging on the wall out in the hallway, just a bit of it showing through the open door....

6. Speaking of gold leaf--that reminds me of the stories about Trump Shuttle and the marble fixtures...

...he wanted on his planes. This was a shitty regional airline using '60s vintage 727s, many of which were the very dated 727-100 series (not the much more valuable 727-200-Adv). These were old fuel-hungry dinosaurs even in the late '80s and '90s that more rational airlines were already sending to the crusher. But Trump Shuttle was not a rational airline. Drumpf tried to have marble installed in the bathrooms (way too heavy), plush carpeting in the walkways (too hard to clean and impossible to move carts around), and other outlandish ideas. The reality of physics was apparently something Drumpf couldn't quite grasp.

Like all things Drumpf, it was all show and no go. Basically, he bought what should have been a turnkey operation from Eastern Airlines at an inflated price and ran it into the ground.

13. Right...

There simply is nothing good about this guy. Nothing. There is nothing he comes into contact with that isn’t damaged.

A walking, breathing black hole of amoral fuckery.

3. Enough of our money has been spent on stroking the orange ones ego

[madaboutharry]

7. Next: Fix the Rose Garden Melania wrecked.

There needs to be someone at The White House who has the job of reversing the ugly shit the Trumps did to The White House.

[MontanaMama]

11. I believe the WH Rose Garden

is in the process of being restored. I've found several articles online about it. It'll take a few years to bounce back completely.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

17. Tear down Melania's tennis pavilion.

Chop it up and send the pieces to Mar-A-Lego.

[Karadeniz]

8. It seems like I heard that Jackie Kennedy chose the current color scheme. Melania obliterated

Jackie's rose garden. They have no sense of history, but mainly they can't abide anything that doesn't bear his influence. Megalomaniac.

[Crowman2009]

14. Anything the orange prick came up with in office should be scrapped.

The Space Force should be next IMO.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

18. The current livery was designed by Raymond Loewy,

named "the father of industrial design." Among his iconic designs are Coca-Cola, Lucky Strike, the Greyhound bus, the interior of Skylab, the Studebaker and a plethora of products which defined that era.

As a man, Loewy was the epitome of a Frenchman; dapper, confident, and with a flamboyant edge. More than this, he was willing to do anything to spark his inspiration — even if that meant using crayons and cut-out paper as he worked with JFK on the floor of the Oval Office to design the Air Force One livery that is recognized worldwide.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

[Liberal In Texas]

19. Interesting. This alone should be a permanent reason to

keep the livery. Plus it looks more like an Air Force aircraft.
