One of the pictures that is seen is the President leaves the White House to fly to another place. The President just before he enters, turns and waves and he off. The plane he enters is a Boeing and it is called Air Force One. In an article by Jennifer Epstein and Julie Johnsson of Bloomberg News, the office of the President and Boeing agreed to new plane for $3.9 billion.

Much of the cost of the planes is the extra modifications to ensure the plane can operate as a White House in the air. The plane has two electrical systems (one for a back up) the communications system, self defense capabilities, work and rest quarters and other features. In the world of the President he likes to say he saved money by his negotiations which is a good thing, if it happens. According to the office of the President, they were expecting to spend $3.95 billion on two planes to serve as Air Force One. The deal came in at $3.9 billion. Somehow the President saved the country $1 billion and Boeing tweeted “President Trump negotiated a good deal on behalf of the American people.”

Linking to dividend paying stocks, this is an example of the company can play second fiddle to the buyer. Boeing sells planes around the world which is good and it has to deal with many complex Presidents – from the rational to the emotional and they have learned to deal with their customers. In the world of win-win, how does the company allow its customers to believe they have won while still making money.

There are more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions.
