Trump goal is profits
Sharon Mather was correct in her self-assessment in her Dec. 15 letter that she “is not politically savvy.” Trump tweeted out a reckless lie as a retort to a statement from Boeing. There isn’t even a contract yet for the two new (not upgrades) Air Force One planes and they won’t be ready for eight years. By that time, the current planes will be 35 years old and parts not available for needed repairs, so replacement is the only option.
The $85 million for Obama’s vacations over eight years - peanuts. How about $1 million a day protecting Trump Tower in New York because they are too good to live in the White House? It will be $180 million by the end of the school year in June. (FYI, Bush took 879 vacation days, Reagan 390 and Obama will be around 200 total).
The six-time bankrupt, cheating contractors and workers, fake university “successful businessman” will turn our country around all right, in a totally backward direction. His goal is to make as much money for himself as he can. He cares nothing about keeping this country great. I hear what he has to say also and it should terrify any sane-thinking person.
