Wall Street Journal: Trump Says U.S. Should ‘Cancel Order’ for New Air Force One, Citing Costs
Aircraft maker is the latest company to come under scrutiny by the incoming commander-in-chief
President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested the U.S. government should cancel a planned order with Boeing Co. for planes to serve as the new Air Force One, making the aircraft maker the latest company to come under scrutiny by the incoming commander-in-chief.
The move broadens Mr. Trump’s effort to influence industrial policy beyond rebuking companies for moving jobs overseas by tackling the single largest source of discretionary federal spending: the federal defense budget.
In a Twitter post Tuesday, Mr. Trump said the cost for a new “Air Force One” plane for future presidents was “more than $4 billion. Cancel order!”

Jay. it looks like someone is in denial. :)
Boeing's contract is with the DoD, not the President Elect,
And the full contract isn't $4 billion for one aircraft, behind schedule, as Trump tweeted,
The full cost of the project is $1.65 billion for two aircraft, has just started preliminary work, and is on schedule.
Dump Boeing stock, Trumps tweets have pretty much given the Chinese market to Airbus.

"Dole, the only past Republican presidential nominee to endorse Trump before the election, briefed the campaign’s policy director, set up meetings between campaign staff and Taiwanese emissaries, arranged for Taiwan’s delegation to attend the Republican National Convention, and helped tilt the party platform further in the island’s favor, the disclosure released to POLITICO shows. He even arranged for members of Taiwan’s ruling party to take a White House tour, according to the filing."
