Someone is going to have to explain to me how Donald Trump saved taxpayers $1.4 billion on those two planes when the first estimates out were that the plane would cost $4 billion and now the contract has been issued at $3.9 billion. Is the White House going to try to claim that each plane was going to $4 billion and since we are now getting two planes that equals a savings of $1.4 billion?
