Trump’s Air Force One tweet was a brilliant move.....
Yes, that "at the best value" phrase at the end of the statement says it all. Who knows exactly how much the Trump tweet just saved the American taxpayers? But considering that it cost him and us nothing for him to send it, even a few hundred grand looks like a big net windfall.
A lot of people still think that Trump is extremely foolish for tweeting like this as opposed to using the established forms of presidential communication. But the really foolish move would be going on national TV even once to discuss the ongoing Boeing negotiations that at best may save the taxpayers a few hundred million bucks. Twitter is instant. It's easy. And as the Carrier deal proved, it's a great way to either initiate or seal an ongoing negotiation.
And, it's worth noting that, while the dollars saved or number of jobs kept in the country from these two incidents are relatively small, they both involve two key members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Boeing and Carrier-parent United Technologies. In pure market cap alone, Trump is really getting a lot of bang for his Twitter buck.
Saving us some money, even if it's just a little bit of money, on the new Air Force One jets is something just about every voter wants. It's a cost-cutting measure on something they know is needed but that they'll never get to enjoy themselves. Like the Carrier deal, this might be a very small win on the economic scale, but it's a lot bigger on the political scale of public opinion.
After Tuesday the only question anyone should have about Trump is not whether he'll stop using Twitter once he's in office, but which company, program, or even person he'll use it to target next. .....snip~

Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
For starters, there's no such animal as the Prime Minister of England, any more than there is the President of California. It is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. And lol, there are not many Sopwith Camels in flying condition.
And why is the President of the United States more important? He is the chief government officer of just another country - that's all, and he can be replaced, like you do every four or eight years. If he gets assassinated, the VP takes over until you have an election. Why do Americans seem to think that everything American is more important or better than everything else. And even if you believed that, isn't to say it a bit bad-mannered? Like everybody loves where they grew up, but to say "I am the best," is saying "You are not as good as me." And would you say that to a friend?
Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,
for a glow worm's never glum,
'cause how can you be grumpy
when the sun shines out your bum!
