re: #307 lawhawk
Trump seems so concerned about the AF1 contract, which is actually reasonable under the circumstances ($1.65 billion for the replacement planes), but doesn’t seem to care that it costs $10+ billion for an aircraft carrier, or over $1 trillion for a plane purchase (F-35) that wont be able to do its mission requirements for years to come, or $4 billion for a single destroyer (Zumwalt) that’s already experienced issues after going to sea for the first time.
Which adds to the theory that this is a way to short the Boeing stock he owns.
