Air Force Stumped by Trump's Claim of $1 Billion Savings on Jet

[Cosmo]

The Air Force can’t account for $1 billion in savings that President Donald Trump said he’s negotiated for the program to develop, purchase and operate two new Boeing Co. jets to serve as Air Force One.

I thought he was cancelling the new ones? THAT is where the savings are!

No one knows what he is doing, probably not even him. Once he figures it out he will change his mind next week and claim it was media lies that said what he said last week....before changing his mind again and blaming someone else.

What Trump says is for internal consumption by his cult. That it's total BS is irrelevant because he's brainwashed his followers into ignoring everyone but him.

Seems like you are unable to speak without being hyperbolic. Strange!

Says the man who constantly spread the hyperbole he is fed by his man crush and his minions to gain control of their loyalty through manipulation of fact and media trust?

Only by making anything negative he does "Fake News" in the minds of enough people can he escape the harsh realities of his actions...of course avoiding them completely by forbidding their inquiries and keeping away from public events helps.

There is a slight chance his devotees might wake up to the fact they have been duped but, judging by my experience thus far this is unlikely in many.

It will take negotiation (which is what he is supposedly good at), so it won't happen overnight, OK?

Supposedly is the key word here and thus far is debunked completely by his record. The few successes he touts are denied by the very companies he pretends to have worked with and most of the BIG stuff he just blusters until caving in. NATO, China, ISIS, Korea....nothin'. Russia he just slips a note under the table with a wink.

I'm sure in your mind this is all "Fake News" and anything he said has been taken out of context, edited, or Videoshopped.

 

[tecoyah]

I suppose he might be good at nation building after someone else figures out the tough parts....but who will he negotiate with once we destroy everyone?

 

[tecoyah]

Destroying everyone is not our style.

"Our Style" no longer pertains to who we are....the "Style" has dramatically changed and no one knows what it is anymore.

 

[tecoyah]

Our style of taking great risks to minimize collateral damage has not changed.

Apparently you missed your man crushes first adventure into playing army.

A well-rehearsed mission that was supposed to extract computers and other intelligence from an al Qaeda camp near a mountain village turned into a massive firefight involving Harrier jets, helicopter gunships and gun-wielding jihadi women that killed one Navy SEAL, 14 al Qaeda fighters and, allegedly, non-combatant women and children.

Did not.

Okay....then you DID know about it but decided to ignore it in favor of ....uh....not sure what it was. At least you didn't call it "Fake News" this time.

 

[tecoyah]

The military did a routine operation. What actually about it that you take issue?

To anyone not trying to deflect it is obvious I was replying to your post and not "taking issue" with anything other than that. While I understand your need to defend your comments, please stop placing your words into my mouth as they taste nasty.

If you use that funny little bar on the side you can scroll up to see ....if that is too complex for you I am done here.

We used nukes in anger (and are the only basterds that ever have), committed genocide, destroyed towns 'to save them', etc. The man has 0 understaning of US military history.

LOL!!! You are so very ignorant of reality; we potentially saved MILLIONS of live by ending the war early with an overwhelming, surrender inducing force. This is EXACTLY how PEACE THRU STRENGTH works; nobody (i.e. reputable State) would would DARE attack us, as it would doom them, so hence, war AVERTED! If you don't understand that (like vast majority do), you are hopeless.

Gibbering idiocy --- the stuff that any Nazi would proclaim.
