Can anyone explain how a person who may get control of three different AIRLINERS still has anyone take him seriously after whining about little girls with more than two dolls?
It’s another Alcatraz distraction type thing. They’d have to rip that plane to pieces and retrofit it in order for it to actually be an Air Force One vehicle. It would probably be cheaper to build our own
The whole thing is never gonna happen it’s just Trump squeezing one out on the golden throne
Yep. It's all distraction so he can get the budget bill passed and signed to fufull his back room campaign promises. Then miraculously the tarriffs will be dropped. Markets will return. They need to do this before midterms.
More: with the collusion of our Federal "attorney general", they've hatched a plan to work around the Federal property problem by having Qatar loan it to the Air Force until the end of his term, then donate it to his Presidential library (a likely violation of the Constitutional Emoluments clause).
Not to put too fine a point on it, but he (while not giving a whit about what Congress thinks) literally has no authority to transfer Federal property to himself. Congress can do it with a bill; or the next President can send agents to seize it.
They are floundering with this right now. Let's see what spin they come up with tomorrow. I can't wait. Either way, they will scheme it thru 3rd parties so he gets to keep the plane. I will put $ on it.
Mot so different than stealing an election with the help of your transnational organized crime buddies, Putin and Netanyahu—both in the middle of wars—where war crimes have been occurring. (Mass starvation, stealing of children for example)
To make it as secure as AF1 there will need to be upgrades and when he donates it to his 'library' what then? Will he claim the security systems must remain intact? You can bet he won't reimburse the taxpayers for the work that was done.
Agree. They say back and protected their careers. That's just as bad as actively participating. But my Virginia reps are fighting for everything from AI regulations and crypto to women's rights. The lower levels are rising. District 20 woman is suing Trump!
TYPICAL BULLYING AND REHTORIC FROM OUR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WHO IS ONLY GOING OVERSEAS TO GET HIS CROOKED DEALS FINALIZED AND PICK UP HIS MONEY! HE CARES NOTHING FOR AMERICANS AND THEIR CHALLENGES (WHICH WERE CAUSED BY HIM)!
He received a $400m Qatar plane,

It really is tiring isn't it? I guess so sick and tired of everything this man does and gets away with it. Thank goodness some people are still intelligent enough to know the truth about the Cheeto in Chief
Who knew that after all the bankruptcies filed by Trump in the corporate world, the bankruptcy that would hit the hardest would be the MORAL BANKRUPTCY OF THE GOP.
#Chapter47
Where is Congress? Why are they hiding under those hoods?
AirForceOne is a call sign, not a plane. If POTUS in a Cessna it STILL becomes "AirForceOne". No Boeing 747-200B can replace VC-25A OR VC-25B which are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AIRFRAMES--built to completely different structural & performance demands FAR OUTSIDE electronic subsystems.
Wtf are you on about? 747-8 CANNOT be "upgraded" to VC-25. They are DIFFERENT airframes. Don't be as stupid as T-Rump by reinforcing his idiocy through repetition? Don't make the "gift" part the point when he clearly doesn't understand basic premise that they're not the "same" plane.
He has no credibility. Zero. He’s a liar. He’s a cheat. He’s a pervert and he’s a Putin protege. He cannot be believed he cannot be trusted. It’s like that with dirt bags.
He's not a president, sir. He is a dictator, as such the plane was a gift for him to do as he pleases with. This weird delay in accepting reality slammed into our faces slows the necessary reasons. This is war. We are the resistance.
"The plane will then be donated to Trump when he leaves office." I remember the last time he was supposed to accept defeat with a smooth transition of power, that didn't go well. I believe he incited an insurrection & told the mob to hang VP Pence. What makes us think he'll leave office peacefully?
Hopefully, he won't live long enough to see that stupid "library" or get to use Air Force One as a private citizen. FFS with the food he eats he shouldn't be alive now at 79.
I don’t want a dime nor a single penny of my tax dollars spent on this worthless piece of ‘fake donated’ golden-garbage from an evil royal family to our evil gold-lusting graft-tainted president
It’s disgusting
It’s an affront to the emoluments clause of our constitution
He is the consummate thief, having stolen from those who did business with him & never got paid, those hurt by his bankruptcies, those who have believed his lies and now, this thief is working to steal our country, democracy and our very lives. Long past time to hold him accountable for it all!
Trump's library should have an interactive game where visitors have to lie, cheat, steal, bully, bribe, conflate, extort, slander, blaspheme, and destroy. They can take showers after (not golden ones, though)
And when he finally leaves office, you know he's going to loot the Oval Office also. Why do you think he insisted on 24 karet gold. Nothing but the most expensive since we paid for it.
That's what thieves and corrupt presidents do. They steal and they take bribes.
Sorry, Donald. You won't be able to keep your massive bribe. It's just a loaner. Maybe in a few years, you can watch a Democrat using it if they don't have the sense to sell the ostentatious piece of crap.

Hope that fucking planes lands hard in a body of water. Never to be found again. HOPEFULLY a orange turd will be in the toilet when it goes in the water.
So Let me get this straight: tRump gets a gifted, multi million dollar jet to use as Air Force One for the next few years, and then it reverts to HIM? Assuming we have a different president in 2029, the American people have to foot the bill for ANOTHER Air Force One? Why not? Makes PERFECT sense!
Yeah, the next President would use the plane F45 was using last week, WE pay for the retrofit (reinforced steel, sweeping for listening devices, searching for explosives, etc.), and he takes it when his term ends.
I CALL BS!

Who thought this was a good idea?
How is this allowed?
Are communications encrypted?
Security?
Who'll pilot it??
Who funds it to fly?
Is it allowed on a secure airbase?
Just give it to tRump Corp. Write an EO for no tax & charge SS & press bitcoins to fly. The Petty Felon won't pass it to his kids
How does one "donate" something one doesn't legally own? If the president is given a gift, it is the property of the US government, he can't then turn around and donate it to anyone.
I'm confused.
How does him donating it to the Presidential Library allow him to continue to use it?
It's not like it's a classified document or something.
Please help, there is no food in our house and my mother is sick and needs medicine. Please help us. We are 6 children and my mother has no one to support us.😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🍉😢 https://gofund.me/1adc11c9
And aren't we the least bit concerned Trump will have unfettered use of a fully retrofitted AF1 plane, technology, weapons defense systems and all when he is no longer President?
What's to stop him from using that plane against the current President in another coup?
Shocked ? Not really this lying thief has done this his whole life while traveling down his mothers birth canal,where the best part of him ran down his mothers leg,he’s a evil person,the gov’t made the mistake of allowing him to run 2016 he should’ve been stopped after he got off that elevator
And all the American tax dollars he uses to retrofit the plane with the technology and defenses AF1 has? He will be paying that back when he leaves office right?
No one just gifts anyone a $400 million plane without something in return.
We aren't considering the real possibility that the plane isn't offered as a bribe for potential future action but rather that it is payment for actions already taken and decisions already made. If I had to guess it would be crypto-related and also about Israel.
Air Force One is the Presidential plane. Whoever holds the office has authority over the aircraft. It would NOT belong to Trump, and he would have no authority to determine its fate when he leaves office.
Can anyone explain to me how he can accept a $400 million jet, while the rest of us get fired if we accept a gift worth more than $25???
Fuck him.
Fuck him til he cries.
Why not donate a few pallets of gold bars from Fort Knox to the "Presidential Library" too? Also some office buildings and a few million acres of real estate?
So would we tax payers be on the hook for the maintenance and cost to operate the aircraft for its remaining lifetime? Does it belong to US once he dies?
Art of the deal (con),
he has no cards but now he has a free jet courtesy of all the hicks that put him in this position as The Orange Extortionist . Excellent well done 👏🏻
They claimed Hunter Biden is corrupt by receiving $50,000. But this con man is not because its not tie to official acts. We need to get rid off this man who is working to enrich himself and his families
He's probably not leaving office until he's dead. The administration that liberates us will sell it and buy appropriate airplanes. He will never get to keep it. Unless he steps down. He is not stepping down
I give it two days after he leaves office before the outside of the plane is covered in gold painted plastic trinkets, truck nuts, and Trump Force One is vomited on the sides.
The plane is a gift to the GOVERNMENT (wink wink) therefore “government” property, therefore the people’s property therefore he CANNOT DONATE IT TO HIS “LIBRARY.”
Although probably a myth, didn't the Vikings send longships ablaze into the sea as part of their funerals? Could we somehow send t^mp off into the blue yonder in a flaming 747?
POSSIBLY the biggest foreign gift ever? How about 100% the biggest foreign gift ever. Ha!
The only gift bigger would be if someone "gave" him Greenland or some other country to rule.
Even $400 million in cash sounds kinda small these days. Qatar would never even miss that money.
Makes me wonder what Qatar is getting in return or maybe another country is actually behind the “gift”. I definitely wouldn’t trust the security of the plane with regards to tracking, eavesdropping, etc.
For god sake how much will we have to pay to retrofit this piece of shit no way we better not accept that gift from Qatar or anyone else you stupid motherfuckers
Also, anybody gonna comment on how Air Force 1 takes a while to build because it has capabilities and maneuverability that aren't matched by any commercially available craft? Like, this palace wouldn't cut the mustard even if it wasn't a giant problem in every other way.
It has been mentioned that they need to add the comms on upper deck and the missile countermeasures.
Will need to remove the wiring to make it EMP-resistant as the other planes.
And bug spray. Lots of bug spray.
Also mentioned that it wouldn't be ready til Fall.
What possible use does a 'Presidential Library' have for a freaking jumbo jet? He'll continue to use it free of charge, surrounded by free of charge Secret Service, because, well, be a shame to let it sit there. He'll fly to Quatar to open his newest resort and act like he's playing golf.
Well, ackshually, I start slowly.
The current VC-25 is pledged to GHW Bush presidential library when the VC-25B gets done, maybe in 2028.
Yes, he will use this fancy one.
It costs over two hundred thousand dollars per hour to fly the current Air Force One.
Someone else will pay for trump's.
Tax payers will pay to operate and maintain the new jet, you can bet on that. Also a little thing popped up a week and a half ago where the trump organization inked a deal with Qatar on a new 5.5 billion dollar resort. What a coincidence...
It's not going to be AF1 and whether he steals a gift from a nation still involved in Hamas I thought, or it collects dust is the least of our worries. We could have just given Trump a trillion in cash to go away and we would already have saved money.
We are witnesses to unheard-of corruption. It's an illegal attack on the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. We will fight it and we will win. Pam Bondi, a former Qatar lobbyist, approved it, despite its illegality. Just more outrage.

It would be political assault on his First Amendment blah blah.

No I cannot.
You can't convince me the fucking democrats aren't in on this fucking coup😡
Step 2: Get $3 billion in custom upgrades courtesy of the American taxpayer.
Step 3: Give the plane to your Corporate straw man for your own personal use later.
Step 4: Profit.
