The article somehow skips the bit where Trump’s getting a 747 like it’s a party favor and planning to fly off post-presidency like a Bond villain with bad hair. But yeah, tell me more about how it’s all totally normal and constitutional. It’s wild how he can do literally anything, and the cult still lines up to defend the indefensible. 1
Homelander Posted May 11 Author Posted May 11 If the Dems take back power in the midterms, don’t act shocked when Trump gets impeached again. The guy collects impeachments like felony charges and let’s be real, he’s earned every damn one.

Big Blitz Posted May 11 Posted May 11 The MSM actually reported on this story in a benign way over a week ago but decided to re-report it today, in unison, as a coordinated attack on Trump. The decision to replace the current planes being used for Air Force One was made a long time ago. Trump made a deal with Boeing during his first term in 2018 to replace the two planes for $3.9 billion. The current pair of planes are 35 years old. The planes were supposed to be completed and delivered between 2021 and 2024. Boeing is running so far behind that they won't be done for 5-10 more years, if that. They also want billions more to keep building them after originally agreeing to a fixed price. Trump will be getting a new plane. In February Trump talked about instead of waiting for Boeing, acquiring a plane from a foreign country. Democrats want to make sure that no country gifts anything to America and that the taxpayer pays for the entire thing. Ok guys. This is why no one listens to them. Irrelevant media. Fake journalists.

Clearly, thinking isn’t your strong suit - if it were, you might see the contradictions.

For starters, the plane, if it is being gifted (and that's in dispute), will be used for Official duties and then retired to his library from what I'm reading, i.e. it's not a personal gift. Second of all, it will be gutted and rebuilt so that any spy equipment (which is my biggest concern) will be gone. I mean, do you think that he'll now be a Qatari puppet? 1

Oh cool, so we're just totally fine now with foreign governments “gifting” aircraft to former presidents - as long as it's for “official duties” and then parked next to the gift shop at his fantasy camp library? Got it. And sure, I’m sure all the spy tech will be magically scrubbed away because nothing says “national security” like trusting a gutted jet from a foreign monarchy. But hey, if Biden even bought a pencil from overseas, you'd be screaming treason. Qatari puppet? No clue. But I do know the idea of Trump turning down luxury, influence, or flattery from billionaires sounds about as believable as his promise to pay his legal bills.
