It will be 1 billion dollars and 2+ years to retrofit this thing so it can be used as Air Force 1. At that point the new ones will be up for delivery.

Where's DOGE?

Exactly. The US tax payers are paying for Trump's private plane reno because if he's done before he leaves office, it'll maybe, maybe, be done in time for him to use it for maybe 6 months. And then he's taking it with him.

Then give it to him as a gift after he's out of power.

Could someone check with Chief Justice John Roberts whether accepting a $400 mn plane for your personal use is a core executive power that Congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the President is presumptively immune from any accountability?

And yet Trump said he'd have to be a "stupid" person to turn down a "free" gift. Lol.

It’s not a gift, it’s a bribe.

Who’s the dummy? Good lord.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) noted Qatar’s financial support for militant group Hamas, a foe of Israel, and voiced concern about the security risks the plane could present. Qatar was also a backer of Hezbollah in the past, though the relationship soured after the Syrian Civil War.

“I also think that the plane poses significant espionage and surveillance problems. So we’ll see how this issue plays out,” Cruz said Tuesday on CNBC.

The senators’ remarks have made the outrage over the potential deal a rare bipartisan moment in Washington, as Democrats and some of the most fervent backers of the president outside of government unite to slam the plans.

One wonders why trumpet said this, to distract from something else or to manipulate someone?

What could possibly be so bad that he's using this to distract people from it? If Trump and Qatar go forward with this plan he's getting impeached over it.

lol, no he won’t.

At what point do MAGAs wake up to what is happening....if Obama or Biden did this they'd be blowing a gasket and so would your MAGAs in congress....but now nothing?

I think when they start to suffer for real, that's when they wake up. Or else I guess that's when they say that the suffering makes them love Trump more.

Every time I’m like surely the MAGAs can see through the BS and will call Trump on it, they do some wild mental gymnastics to stay team Trump.

^ he also said:

“I’m not a fan of Qatar. I think they have a really disturbing pattern of funding theocratic lunatics who want to murder us, funding Hamas and Hezbollah. And that’s a real problem,” Cruz said in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Tuesday

Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.), the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, noted the plane’s extensive electrical system would be very difficult to check thoroughly for potential security vulnerabilities.

“It is completely negligent and, as far as I’m concerned, reckless to think that Air Force One where the president is asked to function as our commander in chief in a situation room, making life-or-death decisions, is on a plane given to us by a foreign government with 200 miles of wiring in it,” he said.

ironic given that Cruz is part of the American fundamentalist religious regime.

Durbin said he wants to hear Attorney General Pam Bondi testify before Congress about the approval of the Qatari gift.

“Remember, she was a paid agent of the Qatari government, a lobbyist, before she became attorney general,” he said.

Oh wow-Ted Cruz said something. Are we supposed to applaud? It’s not like he actually took action against this blatant corruption using the powers of checks and balances

No. Most are saying it’s wrong. Kushner taking billions from Arabs. Ivanka. Hunter’s grifting and painting nonsense. Trump Jr with his phony club nonsense. AIPAC buying everyone. It’s all so lawless and gross.

THIS. And it's why our kids have no faith in politics.

And why so many kids in our society feel it is ok to cheat in school and in life-we are setting examples that honesty, intelligence, and integrity is for suckers-look who is in the White House. I lost faith in 2016 and again after we all watched J6 and the felon still was able to run for office and now is president again. We have fallen and are now being destroyed.
