Holy Guacamole! Is Trump Trading Boeing for a Flying Carpet?

By Order of El Presidente... Maybe

Ay caramba! Puss in Boots here reporting live from... well not *quite* the scene but close enough for a legend like myself. The whispers are swirling like a dust devil in the desert – it seems the Americanos are having a *disagreement* with Boeing over the new Air Force One. President Trump a man who appreciates a good deal (and a dramatic exit *mucho gusto*!) is apparently looking at other options. A used Qatari jumbo jet you say? *Madre de Dios!* Is this a flying carpet in disguise? Perhaps with a self cleaning litter box for a certain adventurous gato?

Boeing's Bad Hair Day

Now I’ve faced down El Muro and even I wouldn't want to be in Boeing's *zapatos* right now. The President isn't exactly purring with contentment about the delays. Two billion dollars in overruns? That's enough to buy a mountain of enchanted beans! Boeing's CEO Kelly Ortberg is trying to smooth things over claiming they're working to speed things up all while keeping things safe and sound. *Dios mio* it sounds like she needs a stiff glass of leche!

Musk to the Rescue? ¡Increíble!

And then there's Elon Musk! Apparently he's been brought in to sprinkle some of his futuristic fairy dust on the project. Musk the man who wants to colonize Mars! I can only imagine the modifications – a rocket booster for a quick escape from pesky reporters? A self landing feature for when the pilot has *one* too many churros? I need to meet this hombre! He sounds like he could use a legendary sidekick! This would be so cool!!!

The Fighter Jet Fiesta

But wait! There's more! Even while Mr. Trump is looking askance at Boeing's Air Force One situation the U.S. Air Force just gave them a fat stack of pesos to build the next generation fighter jet. Twenty billion dollars amigos! That's a lot of *gato* food! Apparently this new jet is so amazing America's enemies won't even see it coming. Perhaps they should invest in some better eyesight or maybe a really *really* good telescope. Of course Puss in Boots would see them coming from a mile away that's why I am a legend after all!

Is this a trick or a treat?

As always the truth behind the situation is hidden from common eyes. What could the US government be up to? A cat can only wonder after all I used eight of my lives already. But I must say this is quite the pickle! Qatar! I have good friends from there they always give me the best of milk!

And Puss in Boots Signs Off!

Well mis amigos that's the story for now. Will Air Force One become a super charged Qatari jet? Will Elon Musk add a warp drive? Will Boeing pull a rabbit out of their *sombrero*? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: Puss in Boots will be watching ready to leap into action (or at least provide witty commentary). Until next time stay legendary! And remember always land on your feet! *Adios!*
