Well with his one RB211B engine being removed because it is out of time compliance and needs to be overhauled and the other one covered to keep birds out and other FOD and since he really is a dead beat this is the somewhat operating costs to keep the plane flying....you get more for the parts ....and since there a lot of them sitting in the desert....

The article states;
"As president, Trump had change (sic) the color scheme of the president's airplane."
They left out the words "wanted to"
He didn't change anything regarding those aircraft. The aircraft used as Air Force One still look like this;
He DID however, have a model given to him with the gaudy airline-esqe scheme he thought was better.
This is a pic of a 747-8 model that was on the coffee table in the Oval Office, which Trumpy took with him when he lost the presidency and was subesequently photographed at Mar-a-Lago;
The fact that he wants to paint his 757 airplane in that scheme is further proof of how incredibly deluded the man is.
God he's so fucking stupid.
