1. And gold.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. JFC is there ANYTHING that he can't fuck up and make into tacky shit?

[3catwoman3]

7. Short answer - no.

[LSparkle]

3. And more gold

And don’t forget the gold

Fugly gold like its face.

[Lovie777]

4. What's next.....

change the USA flag colors as well.

[dflprincess]

5. Something else for the next president to put on her/his "fix" list

Boeing needs to keep dragging its feet on this. With a little luck the painting will not have started in January 2029.

6. "The coloring was almost identical to the exterior of Trump's personal plane." Well, of course.

From an AP article.

And, of course, gold. His taste sucks.

[Initech]

8. These assholes have straight ruined patriotic imagery for me.

[cstanleytech]

9. Should be painted in Trump's favorite colors..... yellow.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

10. The Racist-In-Chief sure has a thing about Red White & Blue, including his costume.

11. When I lived in Northern VA

Every once in awhile, AF One would go over, and it's actually hard to make out because it blends in with the sky so well, no doubt an intentional design.

Anything trump does will make it more obvious to enemies. Plus I saw something in another thread about the darker colors affecting the avionics systems?

[Woodycall]

12. They should rename it...

The "Perineum Falcon" in honor of the miscreant in chief...

[JohnnyRingo]

13. I'm not buying this. I think it's propaganda

The new AF-1 still isn't scheduled to be completed until mid- 2028 or 2029. Two or three years from now., so we don't know who will be in charge then.
This is probably Pentagon Pete giving a news release that pleases his boss, and news agencies offering up recycled clickbait headlines.

I'm going to worry about more dire events for now.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. Which makes it even more visible in the air.

So, go for it, Dear Leader!

[CTyankee]

15. Among all his sins this is not worth our wasting time on.

It's another distraction to keep us busy and not focused on what we SHOULD be looking at.

[travelingthrulife]

16. Why can no one say, "No." to this demented fool?

[Emile]

17. I have always thought Airforce One was beautiful. The blue

color was camouflage in the sky.

I see no reason to change the color. What's next, tear down the Whitehouse?

[JudyM]

18. Locking as a dupe
