Trump would insist on more filigree. And photo of himself supposedly being shot at. And an eagle or two. Also, add in a red MAGA hat on the top, right over the pilot. Oops, forgot to add a few hundred flags sprinkled about, and maybe some trumpcoins and trump sneakers glued to the sides.

Fine print...It's not clear whether the orders from Qatar are firm, which require a deposit and several contractual obligations, or are options.
Based on the most recent published value for its most expensive jet, the 777X, a deal for 160 of the long-range aircraft would be worth some $70 billion.
Boeing said Monday that Qatar Airways ordered up to 50 large cargo planes and committed to buying up to 50 Boeing 737 Max jets, a huge win for the U.S. aircraft maker over European rival Airbus.
We are more likely to end this for good through peaceful means but consistent and heavy means. Every person that can hold a pen in hand should be writing to Congress and to the Supreme Court and figuring out our alternate economic system so we can oust this fascist party, which is not just Trump.
Qatar are legal partners with Boeing as you say this has been in the planning for some time.
Its still good for America but not down to Turnip.
who was just in the right place at the right time to take credit. as he would do.
Turnips not signing for Boeing he's just taking Credit for Qatar airways finalizing the order from 2024.
Usual behaviour others do the work he takes the credit
Boeing and Qatar invest are legal partners since 2024. https://www.boeing-me.com/en/boeing-in-the-middle-east/qatar#overview
Why is trump involved he doesn't work fir Boeing does he?
And why are they bribing trump? Boeing is a private company and can negotiate on there own.
Bet the planes will be buolt in Europe somewhere
Check back to see how many airlines have “ordered” Boeing planes and how many are actually delivered! And they could have said 500 planes and would never take delivery of them all…
Just look at the size of this order, look at current Boeing orders and report that this order is bullshit. Qatar will not buy anywhere close to this number of jets. It's all smoke and mirrors again. Just like the Saudi defense package he announced in his first administration.
I would love if we had a fair election again and Dems took power so all of trumps people could be thrown in jail till the end of their days. No more of this bullshit “we gotta take the high road”. The damage they have done to the country is irreversible
Also, this deal will never really happen - it looks good on headlines for Trump for a few days. His minions will yell about this deal from the rooftops and Qatar will slowly cancel the deal over many years. You know there are a hundred ways out.
How does Boeing gear up for this huge order to (even to buy the raw material) when these guys could refuse the order later? Could take down an economy!
All board members of Boehing will be prosecuted for treason and will face capital punishment. All assets of Boeing will be sold off and used as repayment for all of trumps crimes
What’s so visible to most Americans is the corruption so invisible to Don Trump. Could it be, like the proverbial goldfish in his bowl, all his life he’s been so submerged in corruption he can’t imagine his life without it?
Do we know if these are firm orders or a mix of firm and options? Also, will Qatar Air accept any aircraft on delivery with even the slightest squak? (Why Airbus stopped selling to them for a period of time)
Both of these are bribes...Trump needs to boost American manufacturing to stave off the massive recession he has triggered with his tariff policy. The question...what does Qatar want now that Trump got his payoff?
The American government has been working for Boeing for decades. The FAAs complicity in covering up Boeings safety issues should have made that abundantly clear.
MASSIVE FAILURE IN LEADERSHIP BY MAYORS, ALDERMEN, GOVERNORS, STATE LEGISLATURES, PRESIDENTS, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, BUSINESSES, ETC. ARE WHY CHILDREN ARE POORLY FED AT SCHOOL AND WHY THEY GROW UP HUNGRY.
We have ability to feed the entire WORLD by ourselves
It's a bit hard for me to believe that the guy who repeatedly said that he's be down with ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Gaza so that he could build one of his shitty, gold-encrusted resorts and turn it into exclusive beachfront property would ever support and raise his fist with them.
He’s been talking shit about Boeing ever since the “plane gift” shit started. Saying they are so far behind and they can’t get shit finished. Yet, the Qataris want to order 160 planes???
Ahh yes, the beauty of karma. I was a gxo employee in gxo/boeing warehouse. Miles was a boeing manager and liked to press people's buttons. Guess who gets the last laugh you bald mfr?
Republicans spent the 4 years of Joe Biden’s term calling to impeach him for allegedly accepting a $5 million payment from Ukraine. The source for that story later admitted to making it up and pleaded guilty of lying to the FBI. And yet the Republicans are silent now.
I have no doubt they will be used. Qatar Airways has a huge route network and is a huge economic driver for a nation no one would ever visit or transit through at all.
So, let me see if I understand this correctly. Donald Trump cannot wait for the two Boeing aircraft's that are being made to replace the Air Force One, and he gets a "free" (these quotations of working really hard right now) brand (13 yr old) Jet to replace Trump Forc- um, Air Force One. Yes?
It would be a very different story if, as a result of these purported orders, Boeing had offered to “gift” the new Air Force One to the US DoD, but what exactly has Lump done that even warrants Qatar considering this?
Canadian here, if this happens, if Trump takes this bribe, if Congress does nothing, your country is well and truly over, you're a shit-hole kleptocracy
Here’s the deal. You’re not wrong about the current situation. You’re just missing the fact that if Trump hadn’t gotten into office you would also now be a kleptocracy. What we need is the people of the world coming together to get rid of this fascist ideaology.
Your accusation is both accurate and late. We have been a shithole country since Jan 20th. Brain damaged people decided to vote in MAGA fuckheads to control every branch of government. There is nothing the rational half of our population can do about it.
Ok then he should sell it & give every single registered voter ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
If he doesn't want to sell he can keep it but we restigered voters get still get a million bucks...tax free!
So sickening that he’s going to claim he did these deals. They’ve all been in the hopper for ages and worked by salesmen and women. I’d be pissed if I were one of those hard working people and this moron comes in and claims the prize.
Wow. Taking bribes from terrorists. The MAGA Morons* must love this stuff. *like the one who told me that he hopes that I squeal like a pig when a terrorist - who knocks on my back door - slits my throat
Alisher Umanov: Airbus A340-300, $400 million
Joseph Lau: Boeing 747-8 VIP, $367 million
Sultan of Brunei: Boeing 747-430, $230 million
Roman Abramovich: Boeing 757, $170 million
It is always about the bottom line. American companies are taking a huge hit and cannot take the moral/ethical high ground as long as they have shareholders they must keep happy.
Did they check how many Congress people bought BA calls the past few days?
They accused Hunter and Joe with zero proof of crimes but it seems to be to lay the groundwork to normalize their corruption in broad daylight as they stare all Americans directly in the eye gleefully wiping their asses with our Constitution.
The $600 billion investment in our country includes Starlink, Tessler robotaxis, Nvidia AI chips and the Saudis have a large stake in Twitter. Oligarchy 101 at play here and we what do the American people get out of this . . . . . . #sigh
Could WE, as constituents, file suit against our respective senators/reps for failure to do their jobs and for breach of their Constitutional duties? Seems clear that their refusal to hold trump accountable is a breach of their oath.
Often Airlines place orders with Boeing & Airbus for airplanes that are later reduced or suspended. Chances are good this agreement is not binding & that there are no guarantees that 160 planes, or any set number of them, will be purchased. Trump still gets his shiny toy with 9 shitters either way.
... but will the doors on them not disappear at high altitude, will the rivets hold things together hold and so on. Recent history raises some questions about Boing and American business in the Trump era. Trust is highly evaporative.

Trump: Deal!
The jet thing is a distraction for the Trump Org grift of golf courses and hotels.

Neither Boeing nor any other global manufacturer can serve global clients when they carry both excess US healthcare and tariffs.
Qatar had planned this purchase since 2024
Its still good for America but not down to Turnip.

Why the hell is that maga felon signing anything that has to do with Boeing?
The felon isn't president of Boeing.

if they use a plane WE SOLD THEM and point it at one of our buildings again…
Is that an order for 160 additional aircraft?
Truly beyond belief.

Qatar is getting screwed.
America looks the other way.

It's all smoke and mirrors people.
What's next? Arms sales to Iran?
Qatar is aligned with Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
No wonder Israel isn't a stop on trip.
Qatar won’t be receiving there’s any time this Century 😂
On
The gift is free, the demands come later.
Since when did TRUMP start believing in a FREE LUNCH?
See if Qatar signs a deal with Brookfield in the near future

Unlikely Qatar made this decision in the last 100 days before Turnip's cult tries to take credit for the order.
But it's not a decision made due to Turnips visit.
I wonder if he timed his visit to coincide with Qatar airs announcement decided in 2024.

Not sure if it gives you the exact tickers. I haven’t had the time to look into it yet.
Qatar: $$$$$
Trump: Hamas should return a hostage or 2 to open up negotiations for the future of Palestine.
Qatar: $$$$$$$$$$$
Trump: From the river to the sea!!!!!
Anyway, this gives me a lot of joy.

Fuck all Republicans 🤘🏻
Canadian here, if this happens, if Trump takes this bribe, if Congress does nothing, your country is well and truly over, you're a shit-hole kleptocracy
Now we’re gonna see the sharks in a frenzy to get a seat on the plane.
then having Vance, Rubio and slimy Mike Johnson act like "what, no biggie, why are you overreacting? Biden yada yada"
If you don’t wish to, prepare for that. If you want to help, Please, store water and food, perhaps clothes. Thank you.
Still need to get real ID
If he doesn't want to sell he can keep it but we restigered voters get still get a million bucks...tax free!
The lack of ethics, and criminality is there for all to see.

Boeing haven’t tough time keeping planes from crashing since they cut quality assurance and safety over profits
