Boeing should bring back the 757, the most beautiful, best handling plane (from the pilots standpoint!) that Boeing ever made. Stop with the crazy extensions of the 737, the worst looking plane in the air. All you get is the 737Max - And how did that work out? It seems cursed! Go back to the “Praying Mantis,” the greatest of them all. I did!

Fact Checks (3)

"The 757 is the best handling plane Boeing ever made from the pilots' standpoint"

Mostly True

The 757 is widely regarded by pilots as one of the best-handling Boeing aircraft, known for its power-to-weight ratio and responsive controls. This is a common sentiment among commercial pilots.

"The 737 is the worst looking plane in the air"

Unverifiable

Aesthetic judgment, not a factual claim.

"Boeing extended the 737 with 'crazy extensions'"

Mostly True

The 737 has been stretched and modified repeatedly since the 1960s (737-100 through MAX 10), making it one of the most extended aircraft families in history. Critics have noted the design compromises this required.

Analysis: Boeing 757 Post (2024-01-10)

Context

This post is a direct response to the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 door plug blowout on January 5, 2024, which led to grounding of all 737 MAX 9 aircraft. Trump seizes the moment to opine on aviation — a domain of genuine personal interest given his decades of owning a Boeing 757.

Personality Analysis

Level 1: Dispositional Traits

Extraversion (high): Assertive opinion-giving, self-promotion
Agreeableness (low): Dismissive of Boeing's current engineering choices
Openness (low): Preference for returning to the past rather than innovation

Level 2: Characteristic Adaptations

Agency: Positions self as expert authority on aviation
Schema: "I already knew the right answer" — self-as-prescient-authority

Level 3: Narrative Identity

Protagonist role: The man with superior taste and judgment who chose correctly
Identity claims: Connoisseur, insider, someone whose personal choices validate his judgment
Contrasting other: Boeing's current leadership/decision-makers

Archetypal Pattern

Mild King archetype — dispensing judgment on matters of quality and taste from a position of assumed authority.

Notable Features

This post is a psychological palate cleanser amid the intense immunity/prosecution posts of the same period. It allows Trump to occupy a grandiose but non-combative space — the aviation expert rather than the embattled defendant. The shift in register is itself psychologically informative: brief retreat to a comfort zone of personal expertise and material success.
