The legality of the gift is not the concern. The cost of the gift is a concern, like when a game show contestant wins a new car and has to pay the taxes. In this case it would be retrofitting costs. Not to mention the huge national security risk it creates.

That is about the worst analogy I have ever heard. We are worried about the costs to retrofit a a FREE Airliner now?

We are not talking about retrofitting a plane for the Delta or FedEx fleets. You are talking about the plane that would carry the President of the United States. So yes it is a bad analogy because the retrofit would be soooo much much much more expensive.

BFD.

You STILL don't get it.

They aren’t trying to “get it”. They’re just trolling. No other explanation.

He should told them he wanted a cool lear jet too

Just fill the plane with illegal aliens, the idiot democrats will immediately shut up about this

Does it have a stripper pole.

Lets do this right

Uh huh. Ever notice that when we think something is maybe not right, some of us question it? You ever do that on the left, even once?

I thought it was a bad look at first, but since it's legal, as Rath says, BFD.

If that’s true, what a miserable life it must be to do nothing but sit around obsessing over stuff like this.

Turn it over to the US Air Force.

This has never been about a replacement for AF1… but a grift of the American taxpayer. Corrupt to the core.


Converting a Qatari-owned 747 jet into a new Air Force One for President Donald Trump would involve installing multiple top-secret systems, cost over $1 billion and take years to complete, three aviation experts told NBC News.

They said that accepting the 13-year-old jet would likely cost U.S. taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over time, noting that refurbishing the commercial plane would exceed its current value of $400 million. The project might also not be completed by the end of Trump’s term in 2029, at which time the plane is expected to be handed over to Trump’s presidential library foundation.

Boeings cost 4 billion and will take over a decade.

And it will not take "years" to retrofit.

The Boeing planes will be ready by 2027.
The experts say it will take years. Perhaps, you know better?

And arrive in half a decade from a place that MAKES AIRPLANES!!!

You can’t be serious with this schit, nor likely 74.2% of anything else you post.

Take the damn plane, who cares? A retrofit from a competent MotorTrend garage would likely be done in a year.
