AIr Force One new colour scheme on cards?

The Sioux Indians had the "Contraries"....any of your ancestors from those parts by chance?

Personally I don't give a monkey's whatnot about the paint scheme of the US President's aircraft. I'm not paying for it and I will probably never see it except for the odd bit on the TV news. However how many are going "Pfffft - it's crap" purely because it is Donald Trump's design and they don't like anything to do with him?

It wasn't painted in JFK's party colors. That tradition of red for Republicans and blue for Democrats is more recent, started somewhere after the late 70's or early 80's after color TV came in, and TV news needed a way to paint electoral maps. The colors were random, sometimes blue for Republicans until it became standardized. At least according to Wiki:

Trump may hate the color now that the red vs. blue party ID has been formalized, but it's not actually the shade of primary blue you see in most Democratic party imaging anyway. I like the original paint scheme. It's iconic, no mistaking what it is. The new one is very airliner-generic, even ignoring the homage to Trump's personal plane livery.

The new one looks like some dodgy freight outfit that goes bust as soon as they need to change an engine.
