Air Force One Upgrade: Trump Ditches Boeing, Chooses Qatar's Old Bird

Boeing's Blunder: A Billion Dollar Mishap

Folks let me tell you this Boeing situation smells worse than a poorly aged scotch. Trump that's right the guy who knows how to make a deal got tired of Boeing's dilly dallying. Two billion in overruns? Sounds like they're running a charity not building a plane. As I always say 'What's the point of having fuck you money if you can't say fuck you?' And that's exactly what Trump did. He's looking at alternatives. Good. Competition is what sharpens the blade. Makes the deal sweeter. And let's be honest Boeing's stock price? Probably reflects this mess right now. Time to short?

Qatar's Castoff: A Diamond in the Rough?

So they're eyeing up a used Qatari jet. A jumbo no less. Now I've seen some 'used' assets turn into goldmines. Remember when I took over Spartan Ives? People thought I was nuts. But I saw potential. Maybe this plane is the same. A little elbow grease some state of the art tech from L3Harris and you've got a flying fortress fit for a president. Or at least a decent place to play poker at 30,000 feet. As I told Wags once 'Money equals freedom.' And this plane? It's about giving the POTUS some freedom from Boeing's bullshit.

L3Harris Stepping Up: From Contractor to Kingmaker?

L3Harris... they're stepping into the arena. They've got a shot to show what they can do. Prove they can deliver where Boeing dropped the ball. But they better remember I don't like surprises. Underpromise overdeliver. That's the Axe Capital way. I'll be watching their stock too because you know I will 'I like knowing things.'

Elon Musk to the Rescue? A Billionaire's Touch

Elon Musk involved? Well that's interesting. The guy's a visionary no doubt. But he also has a way of stretching deadlines like taffy. Still if anyone can pull a rabbit out of a hat it's him. Maybe he can sprinkle some SpaceX magic on this whole situation. Turn a sow's ear into a silk purse so to speak.

Fighter Jet Bonanza: Boeing's Redemption?

But here's the kicker: While Boeing's messing up Air Force One they still land a $20 billion fighter jet deal. The Air Force handing out contracts like candy on Halloween. Shows you how these things work. One hand washes the other. And Trump's already calling this jet the greatest thing since sliced bread. Says America's enemies won't see it coming. Maybe they should focus on getting Air Force One in the air first!

The Axe Take: Smart Deal or Another Mess?

So what's the bottom line? Is this Qatari jet a stroke of genius or just another headache in the making? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: Trump's shaking things up. He's not afraid to play hardball. And that's something I can respect. As I always say 'I'm not a hugger.' I'm a get things done r. Now if you'll excuse me I have a plane to catch... probably one that isn't being retrofitted.
