Waste, Fraud, and Abuse: The Pentagon just accepted Trump's grift from Qatar. Trump initiated asking for the plane. It'll cost taxpayers $1 BILLION, NEVER be used by any U.S. president, and VIOLATES the Emoluments Clause as Trump says he's keeping the plane. https://bsky.app/profile/thatsthefactjack.bsky.social/post/3lppufwnlwc2n
Watch it never get deployed or retrofitted and just sits in the hangar...already can see some headlines of him flying in it w.o it being worked on and it causing "controversy"
WTF - taxpayers now on the hook for this plane that won’t be ready for use as AF1 until Trump’s term ends - and the rate at which his dementia is accelerating he won’t have much opportunity to use it anyway. Millions for the stupid parade while the GOP looks to gut Medicaid is revolting. 🤮
Apparently planes of this size are so incredibly expensive to actually fly that similar models have been sold for parts with very few hours of time in the air. So if he wants to use it himself as a private citizen I’m a-ok with it, as long as taxpayers aren’t paying to upgrade it or operate it.
747's are incredibly expensive to fly (and maintain and all that). Especially older ones. I don't think there's any way Trump will use it post presidency, if he's even still active and traveling. I think he just wants to use it as a trophy.
. . . meaning more money spent to bring an old jet up to better standards since this is a gift to the American Government now and not the orange Orbán.

Or they know Trump is this corrupt, don't mind it, and will give him a thumbs up and move on.
Putin is doing what he's doing elsewhere.
Install a puppet and have him bring down the country from within FOR you.
