Summary
Trump lashed out at bipartisan critics after reports revealed he plans to accept a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet from Qatar for use as Air Force One.
In a Truth Social post, Trump dismissed concerns as “world class losers” complaining about a transparent gift. Qatar stated the plane is under legal review between its Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon.
Critics, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Chris Murphy, and Rep. Jamie Raskin, accused Trump of corruption and violating the Constitution.
Even allies like Laura Loomer led the MAGA pushback to the jet deal.
Not to mention the refit to include all the secure communication equipment Air Force One has. Also ECM, active countermeasures, NBC equipment, refuelling, etc.
its around 2.6billion. and he might ask for more than 1 plane i bet.
Air force one is not a plane it’s just the cal sign of any air force plane the president is on. Executive one is any commercial plane the president is on.
Realistically, it would probably cost more to retrofit a plane than to just build it from scratch.
It is a decade or more to build.
Indeed.
It’s peak Trump; it starts out criminal, and then veers into wildly stupid, with stops for complete insanity and horrible bad taste.
Slightly off topic. This video shows Obama and Jerry Seinfeld sitting in the actual Presidential limo. When you see it in the movies the back seat roomy enough for four adults. In actuality, the armor makes the interior tight for two folks.

And then remove part of it a year later when it transfers to him
Why does only NBC get their equipment added and not the other TV stations
Because that’s the station The Apprentice was on. /s
Incase people don’t know NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, Chemical.
