They keep sign makers happy...all the while the sign makers are calling them "stupid, but thanks."

Did you miss the part where the Biden admin started negotiations to obtain this same plane over a year ago? See the link below.

Did you miss the part where the current AF1 is 40 years old, is near the end of its operational life, and there is currently no backup plane at all (the backup was recently retired due to structural issues), which purpose this plane immediately fills?

Did you miss the part where this plane was built by Boeing?

Did you miss the part where the plane is being gifted to the DOD, not to Trump?

Did you miss the part where Boeing has been trying to deliver a new AF1 for years, and is missing the deadline by years?

Quote:Republican says Biden started controversial negotiations for backup Air Force One
'This conversation started with Qatar with Biden a year ago' – Sen. Markwayne Mullin
By Charles Creitz Fox News
Published May 16, 2025 3:50pm EDT

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., recently claimed that widely-criticized negotiations with Qatar over a $400 million Air Force One temporary replacement gift began under the Biden administration – not after President Donald Trump took office.

"What no one is talking about is [that] this same 747 has been in negotiations for a year," Mullin said on CNN Wednesday.

"The Biden administration is the one that started these conversations. It didn't start underneath the Trump administration – why? Because we need a back-up for Air Force One."

Mullin said there is no current backup plane for Air Force One, which is about 40 years old. A recent backup was retired from service due to "structural issues," the senator said.

"The fact is, this conversation started with Qatar with Biden a year ago," he said...

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani dismissed the controversy in an interview with Fox News’ "Special Report," noting that his country had originally purchased the plane from "an American company"—Boeing.

"I don't see a point out of this [debate]," al-Thani said, adding it is a "really unfair accusation that Qatar is trying to buy influence."

..."The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

"It is a gift from a nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years. It will be used by our government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive."

Trump also said it would be foolish not to acknowledge the U.S.’ cost savings in the interim.

Let me know when the Daily Show is actually funny. It's been crap since Jon Stewart first took over after Craig Kilborn left.

Oh, how cute. I can put together three words that describe what you and your side do, too.

Divide, distract, derail.

That was easy. Also, don't get mad at me for pointing out the fact it was A. the Daily Show, and B. a bad attempt at political comedy. I know it was meant to be funny. It failed. Nothing wrong with that. But the fact you're gaslighting me because I said it wasn't funny is rather typical of your side. You see, having a proper sense of humor is knowing what makes you laugh and what doesn't. That didn't make me laugh, and that's okay.

Not everybody has the same sense of humor as you do, and that's okay. So don't put down those who don't laugh at what you find funny.

Got it? Good.

The daily show has been the main left wing news source for years now.

You guys try not to be too mean to Mr X, he's not very bright.
