The amount it would take to customize the "free" plane to make it Air Force One, we could have hired an army of air traffic controllers.

Why waste the taxpayer's money when every foreign gov't on the planet has a direct line into every "secret" that is put in front of trump?

Of course once they strip it down the the wires & the shell make sure there are no nefarious parts, no listening devices cameras or other spy stuff & rebuild it ( hopefully the fools taking it apart mark those parts so it is easily rebuilt) it will cost a fortune.

Also, cost to strip it to the bones and retrofit is almost half what they are paying Boeing for 2 brand-new jets, with either option being done at the same time. Difference is, he gets to keep gift jet, since it’s being deeded to his “library”. And not pay to retrofit it in tacky gold decor

Is somebody going to tell him that. It won't be ready for him to use before the end of this term. And if he thinks he is going to keep it. Well, we the people. Will have something to say about that. Presidents are not allowed to accept gifts it will belong to us.

Since it was a personal gift that he will retain after leaving office, he should pay for that himself. Otherwise, he can fly it the way it is. Periodt.

Don’t Follow Me @abesmith5b.bsky.social

Not only will there be expenditures of close to or more than $1 billion to take the plan apart and upgrade it with advanced security fixtures, all that stuff will need to be stripped out once Trump takes the plane home.

I hope he gets it it takes three years for it to get "upgraded" and when he leaves Office - the new Democratic president will reacquire it from Trump because it's the US citizens plane and we can use it for a variety of beneficial purposes for the USA citizens.

Like when Marco Rubio was still in the Senate & gave away Zelenskyy's location on a confidential call. Or Don tweeted an image of an Iranian missile failure. Took home & hid secret documents. But not from guests. Hegseths group chats. I was General Grant on one.

"national security" "pro-life" "pro-family values" "personal accountability" "back the blue" "deficit hawks" "pro-vet" "hard on crime" All laughable. And yet, the media never pushes back on any of it.

Boeing is already under contract to make a new AF1 and they are five billion dollars and like multiple (5? 9? I forget) years into the project. Absolutely insane to try and do this.

Before that can even be started the plane will need to be disassembled and searched for bugs. Guaranteed it's loaded with them from top to bottom.
