Trump says he's rebuilding Dulles Airport while his administration is fixing the 'people movers'
Source: NBC News
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration will embark on a reconstruction of Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia.
Were also going to rebuild Dulles Airport because its not a good airport, Trump said during a meeting of his Cabinet members at the White House. It should be a great airport, and its not a good airport at all. Its a terrible airport.
Dulles is one of the three Washington-area airports and its quality and utility is a hotly-debated topic among Washingtonians.
Trump, a former real estate mogul, said the Dulles building is good but that it was incorrectly designed. He nonetheless praised Eero Saarinen, the Finnish-American architect who designed the main terminal at Dulles.

(6,881 posts)... security was a thing. I thought it was great. It had a very expansive, open lounge.area that was comfortable and convenient. Once security ramped up, they boarded up the whole area.
What really sucks is National Airport - so called Air Force 3 for catering to the legislative branch.

Such expensive travel is not sustainable in a society where those who can afford to do it make up less than ten percent of the population.
The rich make up around five percent. So, I don't see air travel being something that is going to be expanding anytime soon.
Unless you figure in the exodus of rich once this nation really starts to collapse. That might make things grow a bit for a moment, but the long term...
