The joke is, Trump's patriotic color is gold. Like his N.Y. apartment, gold door, gold rug, gold walls, gold ceiling, gold furnishings, gold picture frames, gold pictures, gold objets d'art, gold lighting, gold statues, gold columns, gold tea sets. See it.
Earlier this week I saw Melania in one of her multiple wardrobe changes wearing a red, white and blue dress in stripes that swirled around her figure perfectly, as she played lawn bowling with British children and I thought, wow, that's perfect. [melania, britain, lawn bowls] Because the dress could represent the British flag just as well. Or the French flag, for that matter. Or tons of other flags.
They're very good colors.
My impulse is fire up Photoshop and see what that looks like, but it all depends on how the colors are arranged and I could spend all week on variations. I'd be influenced by Melania's outstanding dress. No stars in the blue. No stars. Pity. I love those little stars. Sprinkled all over the place. Even in the red and outlined in the white like they cannot be contained in the blue, like the jet plane bashes through stars and gets them all over, states like confetti. This could be why I haven't been asked to design it.
I don't need to photoshop to get an idea what that looks like, Shirley, it's already been done many times. [jet plane, red, white blue]
Things I learned from comments.
* Current design done by Raymond Loewy one of all time greatest industrial designers.
* Original color scheme intended was red and gold but Kennedy found that too regal. Slate blue is representative of colonial times, cayan blue was considered forward-lookng and the font is from Declaration of Independence.
* Obama wanted blue and white
* Color schemes on planes is called "livery."

It's part of normal maintenance to strip and repaint every 3/4/5 years, depends on what the manufacturer requires, so likely isn't going to cost a lot more money then normal. As to the colors, can't wait to see a rendition as something new would be nice. Present colors are tasteful but boring. I think a greater America should have a greater and bolder paint schemes. I do like the font being from the Declaration, which I didn't know... I'd keep that.
What really bugs the beautiful people, or the official people, is that a guy who loves gold, a vulgar guy as they see it, is president. Such effrontery! They can't stand it. That's the real passion behind the push to remove Trump from office: that one of them holds the office that rightfully belongs to one of us.

There's a laugh. Nobody ever had more pretensions to being American royalty than the Kennedys, Jack included.
I think the uproar was the fake headlines that said Trump was to paint AF1 red. Even Drudge put up that stupid headline. Red, oh and white and blue; like the American flag or the USAF Thunderbirds.
I don't really care. I see no reason we need to be conservative and stick with the old tired designs of yester year. AF1 is iconic because of what it represents, not what it looks like. Besides, the first AF1, Truman's DC6 Independence, had a NFL Seahawks like color livery.
I think this is Trump gaslighting the left and them dutifully whining about wanting things the way they used to be; while calling themselves Progressives.
The only thing about it, once Trump announces stuff like this, then he must carry through. Each time he reverses; it gives the left a sense they can control him.
