They should strip it down and wait 4 years for parts. I don’t think this was budgeted for so…

It’s ILLEGAL ‼️‼️‼️
Just put it in here.
And for yrs Qatar couldn’t give it away, almost
yeah...but trump is getting a free plane that we have to pay to fix up isn't that worth it?
The first thing that needs to happen is they need approval from Congress to accept this "free" gift. It still falls under the emoluments clause and Congress needs to approve it. If they don't, the DOD has illegally accepted a gift from a foreign power. The plane, if legally accepted, isn't free.
Then How can Dump take it as his after he leaves office???
Unfortunately jokes on the taxpayers. Has to be a way we keep this jet. DimDump should n not be able to keep it.
At this point, I don't really care if it's bugged or now. F it.
Looks like we taxpayers bought a big beautiful billion dollar plane for the Orange 🍊 Turd to cosplay in.
But hey, it’s a flying bordello like he wants. 🤪
Donald Trump only knows how to lose money and incur debt.
I hope it takes 3.6 years.
To refurbish that shit-plane?No problem man! The maga(ts) will pay for that also the American people! Meanwhile they take jobs away to save billions! Beautiful clever administration! The people chose for that shit! Now swallow and shut your mouth 🤐
Sorry for that 😵💫
He's like a kid in Walmart stomping his feet and rolling on the floor because his mummy won't buy him the latest Lego. 😖
Operation Turd Polish
then we get to buy another one
Not to mention, Cheeto takes it with him when he leaves the WH.
We are a fucking joke!
and it is a gas guzzler. The 747 is getting to be an obsolete aircraft.
And the new one that is being built will be done at the same time.
Let’s be very clear..WE THE PEOPLE ARE FOOTING THE BILL FOR THE RIDICULOUS “GIFT”! #FUCKTRUMP
It is absolutely a joke.
www.warner.senate.gov/public/index...
Great, another strongly worded letter. (Resolution)
Has Congress voted to accept it, like they did with the Statue of Liberty and as the Constitution requires?
Or they could fly around washed up Reality TV characters, and have them bable nonsense, and spread fake news. If it is bugged it will waste their time tracking it.
I think the current Air Force one already carries Reality TV (and Fox “News” folks) and they all already babble nonsense and lies.
But this plane is suspected of being wired for sound.
Qatar is a clever country! That jet had been for sale for months and no one wanted to buy it! They flatter trump, and convince him that this used jet is a “ gift “ ! He’s foolish enough to be flattered! He can’t fly the jet now as Airforce 1! American TAX PAYERS have to pay millions to fix it up!
He won’t wait that long…
Somebody call DOGE
That's fine. honestly, Trump would like it more if they didn't bother to start, given his intention to use it as a personal transport after he leaves office.
Wont cost Trump a dime. He doesn't give a shit what it costs you. Good news is he will gold plate everything and it will look like shit.
We need to put "the Pentagon" in quotes from now on.
I’m betting he’s flying it next week, and the strip down never happens.
Of course! The Traitor is a walking cruel joke.
It's far past a joke,the tax payers are the ones that are going to pay for it !!! With everything else he's putting on they're shoulders...they should be protesting in the streets!!!
He makes the best deals.
Only a sucker would accept an expensive used vehicle without asking any questions about maintenance, mechanics, security, cost to maintain and why they couldn’t sell it.
Arse-likkers
Just in time to hand it over to The Trump library. This grift just gets better and better.
That frame is one giant listening device.
It is a joke, on Americans and is not at all funny !!!!
The bright side?...Trump should be dead by then.
Watch for him to order a fast track rehab to skip the security scan
Let's hope, then anyone can track him.
all that fancy furniture, to the trash heap!
Why don't we just store it and give it to him as is as a parting grift, I mean gift?
The American people are stupid for allowing this to happen. Where is the outrage that we are going to pay for this corruption and 2-3x the value of the plane for Trumps vanity, greed and grift?
Yes, a joke… On the American people. T has no conscience. Or moral code. And neither does his whole administration. Shame on them…
And it's an illegal bribe. JFC. How hard is it to not be fucking corrupt?
And who is paying the estimated $160 million in taxes on this "gift"? No need to answer. We are. Of course we are.
According to Boeing the 2 747-8s that are being retrofitted to the exacting Presidential plane standards to replace the current Air Force One 747s should be finished and delivered to the DOD. In other words there is no need for this Qatari bribe plane.
Before it's all over this plane will end up in a desert storage site.
'neck rebuild???
I've heard the thing has over 200 miles of wiring, won't be ready til 2028, needs a super huge landing strip to land on and take off from (FAR fewer airports than Air Force 1 has now) and needs parts-THAT NO ONE MAKES ANYMORE-like a mother fucker. I call it "The Art of the Moron Deal"
They don’t want us to know this…
But who is laughing?
And on an aging airframe at that.
The Trumpentagon.
But on the bright side When we take back house and senate We will end funding the project! We can than use the gutted plane as cargo carrier for humanitarian issues! Like sending 🎃 to CECOT!
Maybe they could just use it for parts….
Just park it out in the desert with all the other superfluous jets. Trump can go and visit it any time he likes then and it won't cost the tax payers millions of dollars.
Look up the USS Liberty and keep your fingers crossed. Hopefully he refuses to let them strip it down and insist on using it right away 🤪
So the US just got a white elephant plane. The phrase comes from this: A white elephant was given to disfavored courtiers by a Rajah. The problem? It was so expensive to care for it bankrupted the courtier. In this case it just shows moral bankruptcy in accepting a 400 million dollar bribe
Such a businessman. I rest my case.
After you've taken it apart piece by piece... JUST LEAVE THE HEAP OF PARTS ON THE RUNWAY... TELL HIM IF HE WANTS IT SO BAD, HE CAN START PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER HIMSELF!!! CHRIST, HE'S SUCH A PIECE OF SHIT!!!
But Krasnov will have a plane.
All to make the boss happy. Can’t ever say the boss is wrong. Thats just unamerican
Tail number 8647 Photoshop wizards? 😬🦠😷💉💉💉💉💉💉💉🇨🇦🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Why would they bother?!
But they are saving money...right? What, they are not? They are so confused. Greedy, sociopaths, the lot of them.
Will all the gold furnishings be removed? He won't want it, if so...
Disassemble it and lose the parts...
After spending hundreds of millions of dollars for "security" upgrades, traitor trump wants to take it home with him. WHERE THE FUCK IS CONGRESS!!! TALK ABOUT WASTE!
Put the thing in a hangar and don't spend a nickel on it. It's a lemon they pawned off on Dumb Don Drumpf.
If it's officially owned by the Pentagon, they should just use it for target practice.
They should not waste the money. Just give the moron his plane and if it is unsafe, so be it.
Unfortunately, safety is only half the problem. It's probably electronically linked directly to Russia so everything said on board is funneled straight to Putin.
True, but pretty sure trump passes along information to Russia anyway
Just what Putin asks for and he can't get all his information from Signal.
If trump says anything more substantive than what he recently saw on Fox News, then he should just stick to flying one of the two very expensive planes he currently has at his disposal, and no money should be spent on his flying palace.
"But, they're so old." If he wouldn't have canceled the contract Obama started, he'd likely be flying the new Air Force One. As it turns out, the current contract for the new Air Force One will be completed after he leaves office 🤞 and the Qatar plane may not be finished before his term expires 1/2
or before he expires 🤞
I am in total agreement with you!
There's not such thing as a free lunch! Cut the Pentagon budget by the amount it will cost to refurbish the plane as AF1. See how the sycophants feel about their orange cow then.
What if Trump says don't. Is it ok as it is?
Who exactly is “The Pentagon”? Are Hegeseth’s finger prints all over this authorization?
Total waste of taxpayer money. And all for a vanity gift to the orange turd.
Automate it and send to an aircraft target range. Bonus points for Trump, Musk, and as many Cabinet appointments you can get onboard.
Impeach Impeach Impeach
I wonder how all that upgrade reconstruction will be paid for, i.e., by whom🧐😏
😡
I don't think they are going to bother actually bringing it up to code. They are going to just say they did and not spend the money thinking it's not a "big deal" because they are dumb.
Efficiency? Waste? Fraud? Where does one even start?
AND the damn thing is 13 years old. Would've likely cost less to build a secure (and more reliable) AF1 from scratch.
But it has a gross gold interior!!
You know he’s taking it when he leaves too. Good. Take that POS.
To be an American one must swear an eternal hostility to tyranny, traitors, & treason. Is there a better way to celebrate 250 years of freedom than by exercising our Rights & Liberty as they were designed to be used? Overthrow the wanna be king! It's the American way Revolution to the solution.
