Donald Trump slammed Boeing in a Tuesday morning tweet.
The president-elect complained about costs being out of control for the new Air Force One presidential plane.
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!

“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!”
Later this morning Donald Trump spoke briefly with reporters in Trump Tower about the Air Force One program.
Donald Trump: “Well the plane is totally out of control. It’s going to be over $4 billion for the Air Force One program. And, I think it’s ridiculous. i think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money.”
