Today in stupid things that President-Elect Donald Trump said:
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!

Oh, Trump! You are so honest and thrifty! (Too bad you aren't president yet, because at present, you can't do shit.) Anyway, here's how Twitter responded to the news.
You should turn NYC into a penal colony, imprison the Boeing employees. Just put an escape pod on the old Air Force One. https://t.co/ZUjRSLfzB1

Just a guess - the Secret Service just might cost more than that Boeing Air Force One! https://t.co/To93txrOil

The actual number is $1.65 billion to build two new Air Force One aircraft. ($825 million each)
Not $4 billion.https://t.co/OSrsF5U2pYhttps://t.co/aGTZSBIwlN

Trump: Air Force One costs $4 billion. Too much!
Boing: The actual cost is $170 million.
Trump: I have saved the US Over $3.8 Billion!!!

Okay, I get it, so what Trump is saying about Air Force One is that we need to look into his tax returns.

Maybe Trump is just talking about cancelling Air Force One to distract us from LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE HE IS DOING

Aide: Sir, the press is asking about this puppy incinerator you built.
