It’ll be interesting to see the new paint job that President Trump puts on it.

This is a “too good to check” story for the media so they didn’t bother to check the back ground. It is not a “gift” to Trump. It is being retrofitted by a company because Boeing can’t produce the airplane. So a vendor is getting it to retrofit it in to the new AF1. The current AF1 is reaching its end of passenger service lifespan.

“I would not trust a used 747 from a foreign country to haul our President.”

I would not trust a NEW 747 direct from Boeing to haul our President.

Boeing would love to see the contract canceled. Trump negotiated a fixed cost contract. All overruns fall on Boeing, and it is costing them a fortune.

“Qatar is not our ally.”

Maybe not ours, but they are a Trump family ally. They have a deal with Qatar for a luxury golf resort.

Come on democrats. They would have transferred it to Biden. But they couldn’t. It is loaded with beautiful golden features through out. Right up Trump’s alley and they knew he would appreciate it.

They couldn’t let Biden have it because Hunter would have stripped all that golden stuff and made pimp teeth out of it.

The plane is being given to the United States Air Force. It’s NOT a gift to Trump.

It’s NOT diamonds and cash give to Hunter and the Big Guy.

How much money did WE give Ukraine last year? Twenty billion? Or was that a drop in the bucket.
