Of course, Trump is a bullsh**tter, so who knows if this is accurate. But man the red, white, and blue color scheme is tacky.

His penthouse looks like a cheap Istanbul whorehouse, I can't wait to see how tacky this turns out.

[President Johnson]

Please, please, please paint it gold, Donny. And remove "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and replace it with "TRUMP".

[Doomer]

The United States is going to fail and die just like everything else Trump has ever touched.

When that happens, all his voters will be saying, as they rock back and forth with their knees to their chests, is "lock her up," and wondering if it's somehow Hillary's fault.

[Tender Branson]

I have always wondered why it isn't painted in Red-White-Blue in the first place ...

It was red originally, but Jackie O had taste and decided to change it.

Jokes aside, this does sound aesthetically atrocious. I can’t deny that. It’s tacky. Same with flag suits.

I agree with this but I also don't think it's that big of a deal.

This is the corny jingoism that many Republicans salivate over.

With red, white, and blue being such popular flag colors, many airlines have red, white and blue liveries, and their planes look just fine, so it's more a matter of taste than color palette. Of course, we all know what Trump's taste is, but I'm just saying...

[Frodo]

British Airways managed to meld these three colors together somewhat tastefully:

Oh, sure. British and American both pull it off (though I prefer American’s classic livery).

AF1 has a very classic look, though, that I think we should keep.

Not only that, but adding back taste to the White House was one of the few accomplishments of the Kennedy Administration.

However, Trump has to leave his stink on everything. Thankfully, the new plane likely won't be delivered before he leaves office, so reverting to the old scheme should be easy.

Even better, since the flag is specified in law, we're spared him changing it to something like this:

LOL.

Asking because it's the kind of thing that you seem more likely to know than anyone else here: Could the US just use a slightly modified Boeing E-4 as the presidential aircraft?

Actually, when the President takes one of the VC-25s somewhere as Air Force One, SOP is to send an E-4 along as backup. For that matter, while it hasn't been done since Nixon did it as a stunt during the first oil crisis, there's nothing stopping the President from taking a commercial flight along with a communication officer and fly as Executive One instead of Air Force One. For that matter, Trump could fly on a Trump Organization jet as Executive One and spare us the expense of subsidizing his golf trips such as the one he just got back from.

I am looking forward to this, and I like one design already circlinng around!

You can't be serious.

He's probably envisioning Russia and salivating while saying this.

I saw a documentary on this a few years back..

I agree with Trump on this, I really think we should get a cool design that really emits a strong patriotic feeling.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Shouldn't the order of the colors be horizontal white stripes on top, blue in the middle, and red at the bottom? Either way, that sure sounds like a great use of taxpayer money!
