Shortly after a story appeared this morning in the Chicago Tribune about the CEO of Boeing expressing misgivings about Donald Trump’s trade policy, Donald Trump fired up his Android phone while atop his solid gold toilet throne in his gold- and marble-encrusted penthouse and called to cancel Boeing’s contract to build the new Air Force One planes:

Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016

Since this is Donald Trump we’re talking about, the president-elect of the United States, Boeing’s stock price immediately plunged, costing the company as much as $1 billion.

And of course, no Donald Trump tweet is complete without a blatant, in-your-face lie, and it turns out that the projected cost of the new Air Force One planes (there are two of them) is not “more than $4 billion.”

The Air Force said previously that it had earmarked $1.65 billion for two new presidential aircraft, which will be four-engine Boeing 747-8s.

That’s actually about $825 million per aircraft. And remember, these aren’t ordinary planes — they’re intended to protect the president on his trips, remain as secure and impervious to hacking as possible, and continue functioning even in the case of nuclear war.

But we can’t expect Donald Trump to think about things like that when his ego is wounded.
