The Defense Department says it has accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar and will "ensure proper security measures" for use by President Trump.

Why? Do the great United States of America is taking charity on behalf of trump. Congress please block any retrofit funding. But doubt they will. Will trump cancel the Boeing orders, and leave the next president with no jet?

So American taxpayers will pay $1 billion to convert this plane. It will be used, at best, for months, as Air Force One. Perhaps never. Then Trump, his children, and grandchildren will be able to use it for decades, running all the costs through the American-taxpayer funded Trump library.

If Hegseth meant this, it would require essentially ripping the aircraft apart and rebuilding it, checking for bugs, reinforcing necessary systems, adding defense-specific hardware. If this plane goes into service in less than five years, there’s almost no chance that the statement is true.
