So anyone thinking this jet if it ever does fly as AF1 is going to fly as it while Trump is still in office... well reality is, that’s not likely to happen. Could they pull it off?

Trump claims it will ready by Fall.

Turning on Trump has gotten Pence a lot more attention than he ever had as Trump’s VP.

OMG. I never, ever thought this would happen: I agree with Pence on something!

Judging by your Never-Trumper posting history of late I would be more apt to believe you are actually Mike Pence in real life!

Pence is such an irrelevant joke.
It was Biden that started negotiating for this jet a year ago.
Did Pence whine about it then?
Nope.
So why is he crying now?

This is so much BS. They are gifting it to the US government namely the defense department. It is not going to be Trump’s personal airplane. He already has one. IMHO.

“These same dems that bugged the resolute desk ?”
I agree. That’s what they’re really pissed about. Deep state probably hasn’t had their hands on this plane.

And you believe that?

You have never ever been part of any large scale retrofitting of anything if you believe that.. let alone one that involves custom built systems.

I support Trump and am one of his earliest supporters, but braggadocio is a tactic. Claiming something that isn’t realistic is commonly done, it’s a core part of marketing and persuasion and sales. Make unrealistic promises in order to get the deal signed, and deal with the reality that it’s not realistic after the fact.

Anyone who’s ever done engineering line level work in any industry has had to deal with this. Anything is said to get the deal signed and then reality of getting it done vs what was promised are dealt with.

If I had to guess, this whole affair is just as much a play to put a fire under Boeing to deliver the 747’s that were suppose to be delivered last year moving, as much as anything else.

One thing I can assure you, there is no chance that this 747 if it is accepted and transferred into the US hands will be flying as AF1 by fall.

Well, this is interesting. When was the last time Meet The Press gave a flying fig what Mike Pence thinks about anything? It's almost as if someone informed MTP beforehand what he was going to say. ,

Useful Idiot, thy name is Mike Pence.

I say Trump should take it.

This needs to be put in perspective.

Obama accepted gifts:

Gifts from Heads of State/Government:

Saudi Arabia: A gold-plated horse sculpture adorned with gems, valued at over $520,000.
Qatar: Two gold-plated bird clock mechanisms.
Malaysia: A jeweled sword.
China: A porcelain vase and a bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln.
Australia: A longboard surfboard and a crocodile attack insurance policy.
United Kingdom: A pen and pen holder made from the timbers of HMS Gannet.
Cuba: Cigars and rum.
Italy: Bottles of wine.
Ireland: Silver cufflinks with an Irish harp engraving and a DVD titled “Sustainability Starts Here”.

Gifts to the Obama Family:

Saudi Arabia: Jewelry sets for Michelle Obama and the Obama daughters, valued at over $1 million.
Swaziland: A kitchen and dining set.
Other Notable Gifts:
A soapstone sculpture from the Prime Minister of Canada.
A framed etching of Stonehenge from the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
A painting and a shawl from the President of Uruguay.

Clinton accepted gifts through his foundation...millions worth.

Presidents receive gifts all the time. If a president can use one of the gifts to help the citizens then that’s great. He already said he would be putting it into his library when his term is up. In my research, I didn’t find a thing that Obama got above board or Clinton questionably through another source that could be used for the people. Much to do about nothing but only that Trump got it while ignoring the rest.

It’s usually a bad idea for Pence to open his mouth
