You are correct. I hate Trump with a passion. This is not about politics; This is about Trump.
Trump doesn't understand what Air Force One is and the costs involved. This is not an airplane - this is a flying White House. The specifications of Air Force One is staggering. It has to support a huge staff for week long trips - his staff, his military staff, medical staff, and the press corps. In the event of an emergency (think Operation Looking Glass) Air Force Once might be required to stay in the air without touching ground for days at a time - it has to be able to refuel in air.
This is expensive. This is the most expensive airplane in the world.
Wait until Trump finds out how much it costs for him to travel. The President not only takes his motorcade with him when he travels to another country, but also multiple helicopters. A friend of mine is a local Sheriff who works the President's motorcade when he travels to Northern California, and her daughter works in the White House travel department - it's utterly amazing what goes into a trip.
Of course if Trump was concerned about saving the US taxpayers money, he would quick vacate Trump Tower so the US Secret Service doesn't have to protect it.
