Trump has defended accepting the Qatari plane He has privately told aides that it is “humiliating” for the president of the United States to fly in an outdated plane and that foreign leaders will laugh at him if he shows up at summits in the old aircraft www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

He is right that they are laughing at him, but it has nothing to do with the plane.

Don’t retrofit GoldFarce One, leave all the technology stay in AF1….he can Cos Play King in his seven gold bathrooms flying carpet. Then he can’t do any more harm to The Presidency! If you love something set it free, if it returns it was meant to be!🍊👑

He thinks that foreign leaders are going to laugh at one of the most powerful symbols of American supremacy?

American presidents historically have eschewed trappings of royalty because we aren’t one and especially because we invest in our people and our future rather than elevating one person. It would be nice to return to that sentiment.

Oh, I can think of many things more humiliating than the plane.

So humiliating to be President of the United States. He should resign so he can fly around on whatever gilded plane he chooses.

If he feels humiliated, he should resign. Problem solved.
