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? 

Check your brain at the door.

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.

 

"Former Presidents"?  Again he'd be using it now.  As part of official duties.  

 

"Magically scrubbed"?  Again an American company will be repurposing it.

And Boeing said that it would be early 2028 before they would deliver it. Do yoo want to fly in a ~50 year old 747? So, the AF1 he is using now would be 48 years old.  Did the libs complain when Reagan's AF1 was put at his library?

It's this week's re open Alcatraz.

 

It's just silly. Boeing will deliver in 2 years.  Even if we take the airplane it will be months before we get it.  Then we'll have to have the whole thing rebuilt and gone over with a fine tooth comb to bring it up to Air force 1 spec.  That will take over a year according to accounts from military types I've seen.  And will no doubt cost hundreds of millions of dollars. (  thought we were trying to save money to pay down the debt.) Is Qatar gonna pay for that too? For what?  So Presidents Musk and Trump can fly on fancier airplane than the taxpayers provide for 6 months?

 

We made a great deal LOL.

So Maga is all for Trump accepting a gift from a govt that supports terrorists and the gift is against the constitution? Raise your hand if you are good with this. These are the kind of people that trump is trying to expel from Harvard.

Okay... Here's the Truth About the Qatar Jumbo Jet Story

Matt Margolis 

 

FTA:

 

In short, the critics are wrong, the facts are clear, and the manufactured outrage is little more than partisan noise drowning out a perfectly rational, cost-saving move for the country.

Qatar’s ‘Palace in the Sky’ jet is NOT a ‘free gift’ — and Trump shouldn’t accept it as one

So ... why wouldn't it simply be a gift from Qatar to the people of the United States? Why does Trump personally get it, and then it reverts to the Trump Library Foundation (or whatever) instead of to the next President? 

Couldn't the current AF1 (to be retired once the Gilded Palace of Sin takes flight) be on exhibit at the Trump Library, and the new and improved Qatari 747 continue to benefit the American people?

 

Just call bs when you hear it. Don't cover up for him.

I just listened to his explanation for accepting the gift.  Bringing up Sam Snead and a golf putting metaphor is not something I expected.  LOL.

I agree. Coming from you, the guy that ran to the defense of the Cheeseburglar (Schumer) and repeatedly on behalf of the befuddled President Brandon, is quite funny. Excellent work.
