I get that some of you want to take every opportunity and make it Orange man Bad...

But here, I suspect that the idea to change the AF1 paint scheme originated with some people other than Trump. --perhaps the sky-blue nose of existing AF1 had too many bird strikes(?) And that what you see are professionally generated concept/choices that Trump was given as early visibility of the contending schemes.

The bird-strike blues are nice.

Unless you are a bird, I suppose.

I've gotta agree with Island here (despite his raging RTDS, HOCD and OOCD issues) - the baby blue was dumb to begin with.

This just in - AF1 being replaced entirely with the Trump Baby Blimp. The Prez says this affords his people a better opportunity to pay him due homage as it floats slowly by! He also boasted that his version will be even yuuuuger and more biggly than the original!

That meme makes no sense. Some sort of Aussie thing?

I believe it's poking fun at the idea that all the Trump bashing is actually resulting in a God-like status for Trump.

I guess I can kind of see that. Sort of like the way Ronald Reagan became a deity to the right in spite of all the damage that he inflicted on the greater good of the Republic in 8 short years?

Do you know the story about Mozes & the Golden Calf in the Bible?

Pretty much the same thing...

Did he ever allude to any of this or give any credit to those who may have taken it into consideration? I bet not and I bet that was not an accident.

To not see the pattern, one has to be willfully ignorant.

So a parody of someone is now the golden calf? A bit of a reach.

Hmm. Whatever.
The meme still makes no sense to me, but I guess it doesn't matter, because I'm not the audience that it's trying to somehow trigger.

If you get past the sensational headlines, you would realize that:
1) He saved 1.3 Billion on the contract/fitup. (I believe that's about 25%)
2) It will not be complete until 2024. This plane is for the next guy.

Nooooo on Island's banishment back to PARF; I thoroughly enjoy trading nonsense with him, and since I am not allowed in PARF, that would deny me the pleasure (cruel and unusual punishment right there!).!

Really good idea about the hot air blimp fuel - just hook a hose from the Prez's ass/mouth (same same with that guy?, of course), and there would be such a continual supply of balloon fuel that even a yuuuuge biggly blimp could easily travel to Mars and back, repeatedly (that solves his NASA problem, as well)!

That was my first thought. Have you ever wondered why most all jets are white (esp the roofs)?

This Assuming the Negative with anything Trump is a sickness. Really.
