Trump : Dump Air Force One !

Six weeks ahead of taking office, he tweeted:

"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!"

Boeing shares fell more than 1% after the president-elect's tweet. 

Mr Trump now uses his own plane, but as president he would travel aboard

Air Force One, which is equipped with defensive and communications equipment.

He later told reporters at Trump Tower in New York that Boeing was

"doing a little bit of a number" and the cost was "ridiculous".

"We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money,".

Donald Trump will hire foreign employees at low hourly rates for his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, despite repeated campaign rhetoric about providing jobs for American workers before overseas workers who often receive lower wages. In October, Trump received Department of Labor approval to hire 64 international employees through the H-2B visa program, the Palm Beach Post reports. Many of these workers will be paid the same or less than previous years, despite rising wage growth elsewhere. Trump received Department of Labor permission to pay 19 cooks $12.74 an hour, down from the current $13.01 and hour. Thirty waiters and waitresses will receive slight raise, with hourly wages at $11.13 instead of the current $10.99. Mar-a-Lago indicated that it would offer improved overtime pay rates to compensate for the reduced or slightly increased wages.
