Hours before Trump declared the new Air Force One from Boeing as too expensive at $4 billion, Boeing confirmed that they are under contract for $1.7 million for design of Air Force One, targeted for completion in 2024. At best, $4 billion is an estimate. News outlets are reporting the Boeing CEO's public statement hours earlier in which he pointed out the vast segment of their plane construction and delivery goes overseas and criticized Trump's advocacy of tariffs, particularly mentioning China.
At best, this is a disturbing example of Trump micromanaging and fudging facts, if not lying.
I plan to open separate page on this blog that will be devoted to lies in the news, particularly lies by Trump.
