Seems like a pissing match to me.
Fan of DJT but also think Loewy did a pretty good job with the OG paint scheme - I basically could go either way.
But one of the privileges of office is to make these decisions, and since it looks like it will be ready for DJT's second term, he can do WTF he wants.
I think the heat absorption thing is a red herring - it's not like they're flying over the surface of the sun. As another fren pointed out, plenty of .mil aircraft are dark all over. If heat were really a problem, they'd paint the bottom white.
I agree, both paint schemes have white on top since closer to the sun and Global Warming. /sarc
