Any bug that could work with all the noise at 30,000 feet would easily be found when the plane is torn apart to be retrofitted. My concern is that Trump won’t wait for that (2-3 years) and will instead fly the plane “as-is”.
you could have to assume the very latest espionage tools have been put in. That means everything down to the paint, every wire, every computer chip needs to be looked at.
Which is why is will cost $1Billion or more because the plane will have to be taken apart piece by piece & checked for listening devices then pout back together with the special equipment afforded an AF1 jet.
Maybe they installed a "kill" switch in case Trump ever turns on them. Isn't that what he said should go into all military equipment sold to foreign countries? Plus do they need to bug the plane? They can hack all the Signal chats. Is America great yet?
Why it’s being said that the plane would have to be stripped down to the fuselage and completely rebuilt to make it AF1 suitable. Definitely not free, but Art of the Deal himself will never figure that out.
It sucks that I have to fly Qatar later today. I have always been reluctant because their seatback maps do not show Israel. They show the Palestinian Territories." This has been the case long before the Gazan atrocities. It makes me think they want to wipe Israel off the globe. Unfortunately, Doha
All thoughtful people anticipated this. Fewer suspect remote control sabotage but we're dealing with bad actors. So a smart person, certainly not Trump, would refuse the "gift".
You think a/v surveillance is the worst that could be on that plane? How about a k*ll switch? How about a tracker that operates as a target marker for a missile? Or something that makes the plane invisible Newark-style? No smart person educated on national security would want that plane.
Oh, wait...
While we can safely assume that the plane is bugged already, there is little reason to believe that this amateur administration is not surveilled by China and Russia 24/7 anyway.
But it’s free and Trump gets to keep it! He’s not worried and frankly, who wants to hear him yammering about how someone needs to buy more Trumpocurrency….or else?
Go back to Canada, snyder. And take your inane, bro trapped in mom's basement observations with you. None of those countries have to surreptitiously "bug" a plane in order to get info from trump.
I mean, what's the point of bugging it? These idiots are spilling secrets right left and center, on air and on signal. All they are doing on the plane is eating McDonalds and recounting who has bought into their crypto scheme, which is public.
Logically. If I would be a KGB agent, I would also put a bunch of bombs on it so that I could always have a kill-switch red-button type control over Agent Krasnov if he ever goes off script LOL 😭😍😵
No matter what Trump says, it literally couldn’t fly as Air Force One. It lacks the systems and doesn’t meet USAF specs for a VC-25. You’d have to gut it and rebuild it from the inside out to meet the standards of a presidential flying command center, which every AF1 is.
While he's on a roll with corruption, it would be fantastic if he took an aircraft from Iran. It may fall out the sky at some point, but stuff happens to the best of us.
Trump is hoping to get the plane in it's current state with all the fake gold. That will never happen if he actually expects to use it while he is president
Yes, but also it will create a safe opportunity for him to communicate directly with these foreign allies of his, without US security knowing or being able to stop it.
The foreign entanglement may be a “feature” and not a “bug” for him as well.
Thanks for bringing this up. I was thinking more of the political agenda angle under which it was conducted, but the scientists were often doing cruel and inhumane experiments which I realize not all may recognize as stupid.
Frankly, I believe the plane was provided with an unspoken understanding between both parties, and that it was given specifically so Trump would deliberately share secrets with the Qataris while onboard.
They think we’re stupid. And why wouldn’t they when the degenerate felon won the presidency again. We are suckers and when I say “we” I mean all those egg price worrying people who voted for him.
Which is why it will cost taxpayers hundreds of millions to disassemble to check for spy equipment and equip with everything needed as far as safety and security needed for Air Force one…and it will take at least two years I have read.
..and from what I understand, the entire plane would have to be taken apart completely to check every screw and bolt, every inch, to make sure there are no listening devices or remotely activated incendiary devices. The cost will be passed on to taxpayers which would be significant
A friend, perhaps in the intelligence business, told me once that Trump Towers were so heavily bugged that a/ there's massive radio interference between the various bugs and b/ in jest, you could take out the concrete and rebar and the towers would stand on the bug infrastructures alone.
Yes. And for that reason I almost want Congress to authorize the jet to be transferred to the United States conditioned on it never subsequently being transferred by the United States. If that occurs, Trump will not get it and we can tear the jet apart to uncover all of the bugs that are on it.
The Department of Defense will strip it down to the rivets and refit it to AF1 standards. They have done this with other 747’s purchased from foreign governments to be used at the Andrew’s AFB wing.
Not sure if they need to.
He's probably handing them all the classified information they want.
That's why they're giving the plane. Payment for all our data...
Why do we even have to debug that aircraft? I say leave it as is, as we have nothing to lose. Let him take the risk of falling out the sky. Plus State secrets are already being sold to Russia.
I don't think that the plane deal will go through, but Chinese and Russians don't have to worry about getting our national security information with Hegseth and Gabbard on the case.
Further-
I suggest they will insist their own techs be included in the overhaul and refitting of the aircraft. They'll have a chance to absorb lots of secrets about the high tech the plane utilizes.
watch em.
Rather... we won't be able to watch them cos it'll all be secret.
putin gave trump a bugged soccer ball at a news conference. that bug was easily found later. now he is being handed a jumbo fucking jet that is LOADED with electronics. are we not thinking for a moment that they have not integrated all sorts of spy gear into the various electronics on that thing?
of course they will! They have a dumb ass sitting in the hot seat that will a. deliver Top Secret docs to them and, b. sit in the BIG BOY CHAIR and speak loud and clear to everyone in the room about everything and anything (and into the mic buried in the fake flower vase).
It will take 3 yrs to make that plane safe for Presidential use. Just in time for Trump to fly it home to Mar-a-Lago (if he leaves). Tho probably yes, since by that time, he will have accomplished his goals of grifting billions.
Why, just why should our taxes go to debugging and maintaining this jet? Meanwhile they are gutting our healthcare, our social security, VA benefits, SNAP etc etc etc
The Qatari flying Mar-a-Lago is a Trojan Horse embedded with so many bugs and micro cameras they will never be able to find them all
Even if they take the plane down to its rivets
Heck, they could even have a trigger mechanism for an explosion. When an asset likeTrump is no longer "useful" they can often be thought of as dangerous. Sounds melodramatic but look at the type of people we are dealing with. The US would have to take the plane down to the studs to be safe.
As Sen. Warren has said, the only way for it to qualify as a safe environment for Presidential communications would be for it to be rebuilt, bolt by bolt, to ensure security from electronic spying by anyone and everyone!
If I were a world leader, I wouldn't trust talking to him on that plane ever!
What other stealth tech could they have installed on it? A remote kill switch on the engines - would come in handy for calling in “negotiations” mid flight.
White South African "refugees" will get financial, medical, housing assistance, employment/social services support from Trump — including mental health support for "trauma-related care".

Be not afraid, Trump and his cronies one day will be gone.
The clown and his circus gone.
🥳🤠🥸🤓🥶😱
Oh, wait...
Be more worried about software or code hidden in hardware
Or some remotely activated device hidden in the wings or tail fin
The foreign entanglement may be a “feature” and not a “bug” for him as well.
I wonder if the nazis were this ridiculously bumbling and inept.
Hm. 🤔

he's already sold/ given US national security secrets to them.
Are they just trying to skip paying for it now?

He’s too dumb to know he’s being played.
There is no surface that isn't compromised with a surveillance device.
And he gives the rest on Lies-Social
