President Donald Trump says the new Air Force One planes will be red, white and blue, a shift away from the classic "baby blue" design that they have had for decades.

"Air Force One is going to be incredible," Trump told CBS in an interview over the weekend that aired on Tuesday. "It's going to be the top of the line, the top in the world. And it's going to be red, white and blue, which I think is appropriate."

So many people are afraid of the ghost of the long-dead serial philanderer and his acquiescent attractive wife.

In other news our newest class of Trump-class aircraft carriers will feature five catapults arranged to make a profile of a human hand with the middle finger prominently outstretched.

It’s a pity Alexander Calder’s “Flying Colors of the United States” paint scheme used by Braniff around the time of the Bicentinneal won’t be used.

Phone the White House and suggest it. Do you have a photo? My memory is bad on some things.

Borrow the paint job from his own plane!
And keep the TRUMP on it.
Now THAT would make some folks poo-poo in their bloomers for sure.
