I think Trump is trying to show off again and his talk of repainting Air Force One is just another one of his schemes to show off and to make himself feel important or to make himself look more important.

As noted repeatedly

he is not repainting AirForce One - it is a brand new aircraft. You might want to edit the comment.

Waste of time and money but Republicans are supportive of this wastefulness.

The order for a new plane was initially done in the Obama administration.
The Republican congress approved it.

There is plenty of issues I can complain about regarding Trump and his administration, but this is not one of them.

And... Trump trimmed 1.3 billion off the price tag.

You think I said one thing when I said something else. I would humbly suggest

Dictionary.com

ah, so just don't use red, white or blue for the plane to carry the President of the United States. Got it.

it's the "Same color pallet" of the flag.

How creative can you be with a plane and stick to blue and white or red and white or all three?

Why not go retro:

or fancier:

They could put the blue on top and the last one pictured above below that. That is what I would like.

First, it doesn’t look anything like Trumps plane.

Second, the new plane will not be in service until 2024.
It's the same design. Half the plane is White, half is blue and the two halves are separated by a red stripe. The only difference is that the colors are swapped, with the campaign plane being Blue/red/white and the proposed AF One being White/red/blue.

Are people actually opposed to the President's plane bearing the colors of the country the President represents? I can't imagine why that would be. Unless it is simply a case of Trumpitis or Trumphobia that motivates their objection to including red. Some other possibilities might be that they associate red with Communists or perhaps they were frightened as a child by the sight of a clown's nose? Perhaps they watched Twin Peaks and do not want reminders of the Red room? Thanksgiving memories of the Woody Woodpecker balloon? The Red Skull? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men and hearts are often portrayed as red?

To be serious, there is a degree of being visible in the sky to hostile planes. Yeah there is technology, but visibility matters.
Red cars are the most visible cars on the road. A red strip may or may not be an issue.

Here is a site that posts the history of Air Force One:
A Visual History of Air Force One

Note how little red there is.

Thanks for proving my point.

According to this site, the most patriotic color is RED.

For all the talk of American exceptionalism, there is at least one thing that is unexceptional about the United States: it’s flag. The Star-Spangled Banner’s particular shade of red shows up in 14.3 percent of all national flags, making it the second most common color after white. And the dark blue of the American flag’s canton is also shared by 13 other nations.


Maybe Trump thought it needed a bit classing up, too much of a resemblance?

The other Air Force One planes were painted to blend in with sky - white and a lighter blue. That was a matter of defense. A dark blue with red will be more visible to hostile planes.

Unless it has an invisibility shield. :)
