I can't find a single source for the $2.5 billion 2018 deal. Is this tweet fake? or did the media memory hole this? Trump's 2018 deal was also $3.9 billion.

Trump used to tell the story a lot during his rallies. I don’t remember the exact numbers. I’ll have to do some digging. It’s important that we cite our sources, even if it’s an archived version to block ad revenue. We can’t believe everything we see on a random, unverified Twitter account or we’re no better than an outrage mob of libtards.

Ahh that's ringing a bell. Thanks--I'll see if I can find a clip.

Obama ordered 2 planes for 5.7 billion. Trump negotiated down to 3.9 billion (timestamp 1:29:40).

@MarkfromLi gave fake news for thee!

Thank you. I remember Trump telling this and saying "the price needs to have a '3'", and thus the price ended up at 3.9B. He was telling this story at rallies (NH at least) just before the election. Not sure where this 2.5B is coming from but 3.9B is the negotiated amount.
