 NEW YORK (AP) — The government should cancel its multibillion-dollar order for new Air Force One presidential planes, Donald Trump declared Tuesday, serving notice he's ready to jump in and start making decisions six weeks before his inauguration.  A single tweet from President-elect Donald Trump had immediate real-world implications Tuesday morning, when shortly before the markets opened, Trump criticized Boeing for how expensive its new 747 Air Force One plane is: 
 
 Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!" — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016 
 
 He expanded upon that tweet in New York on Tuesday morning, saying "the plane is totally out of control. Asked for comment about Trump's statements, Boeing spokesman Todd Blecher said, "We are going to have to get back to you after we figure out what's going on." Later, he said the costs are ridiculous: "I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money." The contract for the planes was to be about $3 billion, but costs have been reported to be rising. When asked for comment by The Associated Press, Boeing spokesman Todd Blecher indicated the company still wasn't quite sure how to respond to the president-elect's tweet.

"This Air Force One that we're currently flying on is in great shape, thanks to the skilled professionalism of the men and women in the United States Air Force," Earnest said. At the mere threat of Trump canceling his order on the latest model of the presidential jet, Boeing's stock plummeted. And Mattis, a widely praised battlefield commander, spent decades in the Marines but now is tapped to run the nation's largest government agency, the Defense Department, with 740,000 civilian employees in addition to 1.3 million service personnel. The price of Boeing stock dipped after his comments but not drastically.
– Donald Trump apparently thinks that the future presidential plane could tone it down a little. "Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!" the president-elect tweeted Tuesday morning. Asked about the tweet later that morning in New York, Trump elaborated, "The plane is totally out of control. I think it's ridiculous. I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money." Two Boeing 747-8 planes are planned to replace the two current Air Force planes used for presidential transportation, reportedly going into service between 2020 and 2024. The Air Force has previously said $1.65 billion is earmarked for the jets, though CNNMoney reports the USAF has allocated $2.9 billion for them and the AP puts the contract figure at $3 billion so far with "costs rising." Boeing got an initial $25.8 million contract from the Air Force in January. The Week reports that Boeing's stock "immediately dropped" upon news of Trump's tweet breaking, though that figure was modest. Boeing's only response so far, to the AP: "We are going to have to get back to you after we figure out what's going on."
