Reporters Owe Donald Trump an Apology for NOT Checking Their Facts Emmanuel December 6, 2016 Politics After Donald Trump Tweeted about the out of control costs of Air Force One, reporters jumped on his back and tried to further their claims of President-elect Trump having “faulty facts” that he can’t back up. Well, they owe him an apology. See below… 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! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016 https://twitter.com/drewharwell/status/806143936532189186 FYI, contract for two 747s used by president was only $1.65 billion (h/t @mariebeaudette ) https://t.co/SNogq2LMsN https://t.co/8QQtq4w3HZ — Ben Eisen (@BenEisen) December 6, 2016 Back story: Air Force said it earmarked $1.65 billion for two new presidential aircrafts (not $4 billion for one) https://t.co/nRCGzOMMqh https://t.co/f8Tp68ngN4 — Megan Cassella (@mmcassella) December 6, 2016 Then Boeing caused further confusion…. False. Boeing notes its contract is for $170M. Contract here: https://t.co/O5wc3SfCkv HT @EricLiptonNYT https://t.co/CA6BtgqhHm — Pamela Kruger (@PamKrugerwriter) December 6, 2016 Boeing's contract for Air Force One is for $170 million, not $4 billion, but hey! #trumpfacts https://t.co/bUecLcyzke — Gabrielle Leaf-y 🌱 (@gabbilevy) December 6, 2016 But it turns out… TRUMP IS RIGHT! $4 billion for AF1? Trump is right. https://t.co/JhiBwzUU0m pic.twitter.com/9V77TixcbT — Bradd Jaffy (@BraddJaffy) December 6, 2016 Source Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
