Boeing has ****ed up the new AF1 so bad we've had to go this route temporarily. What's the problem? You think Trump is going to suddenly be more sympathetic and give handouts under the table to the them?
There's nothing wrong with this.

---

yes boeing has farked the AF1 badly. but there is absolutely many things wrong with this. primarily national security.

---

You think there will be some super secret tracking device on the plane that we will not be able to find?

If so, this ain't the movies.

---

The Secretary of Defense accidentally included a reporter in an iphone message app where classified information about an active mission was discussed. I don't think this administration should be granted any level of confidence when it comes to handling matters of national security.

---

You think the entirety of our military as well as the national security apparatus is now all of a sudden completely incompetent due to who is currently the President and in the cabinet? What a scary world you must reside in.

Per always most on this thread look like idiots right now

Free 400 million dollar plane going to defense. Might be used if possible, likely not but they now have the option

Wow some on here never Fing learn to shut up.

You know how stupid you'll look trying to make Trump look bad for accepting a gift. 400 million dollar gift?

Do you know how stupid you look with that post?

Damn son. MSM must enjoy getting their teeth kicked in by Trump on a daily basis.

---

How anyone could watch that video and think that the media got their teeth kicked in is beyond me. Why? Because he spoke confidently and brashly? It's a perfectly legitimate question and his answer is ridiculous. To act like a gift could never come with strings attached is just silly

---

The very definition, concept of a gift is that it comes with NO strings attached.

It's being proposed completely out in the open and all details are available for public scrutiny.

But yea, this is just Trump accepting a bribe to help Hamas.

---

Man, the Saudi Wealth Fund is awfully generous to Trump with all of these 'no strings attached' gifts and business ventures!

In Qatar, Trump will arrive just two weeks after his son Eric Trump inked a deal to develop a $5.5 billion golf club just north of Doha, called the Trump International Golf Club, Simaisima, which will include "an 18-hole golf course, exclusive clubhouse, and Trump-branded villas," according to plans.

You linked two abcnews articles when the origin of this hoax was abcnews?

The company owned by Disney is now THE source for unbiased journalism.

That's… awesome.

Oh, and Trumps business has been in real estate and in emerging trends. Nothing wrong with a POTUS actually making a living not on the government.

Report back when it's clear Trump broke a law or it's confirmed there was actually a bribe.

Trump from the top rope, very relevant to concerns noted in this thread.

Quote:

"So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane," Trump wrote. "Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA."

---

---

If this were a gift from state to state, I'd understand. But if this is going to his library, it sounds like a gift to Trump.

There's also the question of why. Is Qatar suddenly feeling generous towards the one country in the world that could most afford to pay top dollar? No, they want something. But what?

---

The US just got an NSF notice for $37T today.

I'm old enough to remember when a drug addicted, tax cheat, unelected boob was running cabinet meetings in the White House.

Gifts from Muslims who support Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as has close ties with Iran.

Who knew all it took to support Muslims who support terrorist was a plane.

Boeing was going to take until 2035 just to integrate the comms stuff from L3Harris.

L3Harris said “bring us a 747 and we’ll have it done by the end of Summer”

And Qatar donated a far superior base 747 to the current plane(s) that the President flies in.

Sounds good. It shouldn't take longer than WW2 to outfit a plane for the president to fly on.

Qatar to purchase hundreds of Boeings, roughly 150 planes, up to $100 billion deal/200 if options taken.

Reading this thread has been beyond disturbing. Accepting the plane would be corrupt plain and simple. If you think otherwise, then you've lost your way

So there it is right there, the bribery / quid pro quo.

Trump accepts $400 million plane in return Qatar purchases $100 billion from US company.

In order to protect US national security, Trump must reject the plane and cancel the sale of the other planes by Boeing to Qatar.

(did I get that logic right libs?)

I don't know if this is all above board or not. If DoJ says it is, it must be.

But man I do enjoy the TDS on steroids this is causing.

When Obama accepted jewelry worth $1.3 million (from Saudi Arabia), was that corrupt?

When Biden accepted a 7.5 carat diamond that they used for the rest of his term, was that corrupt?

When Hayes accepted a desk that has been used by almost every single POTUS since 1880 (the Resolute Desk), was that corrupt?

Hard to believe the loser libs have chosen an airplane as their new we gotta get Trump plan.

It's not going to Trump personally. It's going to the DoD.

As a government employee, you can accept gifts that are donated to the government.

10% to the big guy. Am I doing this right? ****ing embarrassing how the only moral code Republicans have now is "whatever Trump wants".

It's funny to see lib comment after lib comment trying to say this is just be done as a bribe, boondoggle or grift by Trump. Yet no one can point to what Trump has promised in exchange for this "bribe".

No one can point to how Trump personally benefits in any way from this.

And despite this they want to mock those who support Trump as sycophants who do whatever he says.

The derangement and delusionment that those who hate Trump can twist themselves in to the point they would rather turn down a great deal for the taxpayers than to recognize Trump drives a good deal.

The influence/bribe element of this isn't a good look but that's not the part I dislike most about this. It's taking an unnecessary plane and paying to modify it purely because Trump wants a more luxurious ride with his preferred paint job. It's ridiculous.

How is the influence / bribe element "not a good look"? Is it better diplomacy to drop $400 million in bombs to gain influence?

And it's a legit jumping to a bizarre conclusion to say Trump just wants a more luxurious ride. Believe a poster earlier in this thread discussed maintenance and reliability of the current 2 747s.

Seems to me that if you don't like Trump then you simply cannot like even the most simplest of things such as securing a great deal on an interim transportation solution.

I would offer that TDS is another affliction that causes people to disagree with Trump even on decisions that are good for America.

It's bizarre what the symptoms of TDS and liberal derangement is as evidenced in this thread and others where even supposed Trump supporters who agree with his decisions still have to chime in about his choice of words or his "approach" and "methods".

If someone wanted to argue that Trump agreed to ease sanctions on Syria in return for a free airplane, then that would be an actual debate.

AF1 replacement was ordered 7 years ago in 2018 and originally supposed to be delivered in 2024 but delivery is pushed out to 2029.

They're keeping the existing 747's. This plane is an extra expenditure purely because he wants a more luxurious ride. That's not a "great deal", it's waste.

Actually were ordered by Obama, then Trump renegotiated the deal and lowered the cost and changed the proposed paint scheme. But the point remains that Boeing has shat the bed totally
