Qatar is going to give the new AF1 to Trump personally when he leaves office

[Anonymous]

I think, in the end, my money would be that the plane is decommissioned and scrapped before anyone would allow Trump or his library/foundation to take possession of it.

He won't be able to use it because it will not have the security device of US Air Force planes for president or ex presidents.

The government is going to pay for security and telecommunications improvements, which will take years. So we’ll invest tens of millions or more for a plane the government will use for one year or so. Someone call DOGE about this waste, fraud, and abuse.

The Boeing delivered Air Force One is expected in 2027 (previously projected for 2029.) Trump wants a new plane this year. It’s frivolous spending for something that is already being built and will be gifted to him… I mean “his library” in a few years.

And taxpayers will be on the hook for operating and maintenance costs for the library and presumably the plane

It’s funny that people get outraged by this but don't have much to say about Israel and AIPAC literally purchasing nearly every representative of the US govt, including the president, for the last 50 years.

It's funny that you think that's the same. Did any single person receive $400 million before? Do tell.

You know that this thing is just a spy plane for our adversaries. No serious person would ever conduct business on it.

His library will be a 501(c)(3) organization. If the plane is given to the library and he uses it without paying for it, it becomes an inurement issue and it will lose its tax exempt status and all of theose hundreds of millions iwll no longer be tax deductible.

Ooops.

Democrats benefit from AIPAC's bribery, so it's fine. Trump isn't going to share his airplane with Democrats, so what he's doing is wrong. #principles #democracy

You're definitely right. This is unprecedented. Except, oops, there's plenty of precedent -- just not publicized by your Democrat-enabling cronies in mass media. See your savior, Obama:

"When President Obama told supporters that he would morph his campaign into a new nonprofit that would accept unlimited corporate donations, the announcement set off a familiar round of griping from campaign finance reformers.

The creation this month of Organizing for Action, which will promote the president’s second-term agenda, appears to be the fourth reversal by Obama on major money-in-politics issues since 2008.

“No big bank or corporation will donate million-dollar checks to OFA without the expectation that it will impact which issues they engage on, and that’s very troubling,” said Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee."

Yeah, right. All the large 501c3s are money laundering and embezzlement rackets.

Don’t you ever get embarrassed playing defense for the most corrupt administration in history? You’re honestly humiliating and debasing yourself with this tortured game of waddabout.

Military husband who knows about such things agrees.

What does a library do with a plane? Will it sit there on static display like Lisa Marie at Graceland?

The Reagan library has a retired AF1 but it’s on display and not for personal use. There was a 2016 GOP primary debate in front of the plane.

So the answer to my question is no. Thanks.

"The Israel lobby poured at least $45.2 million into winning candidates for Congress, the most by any organization in history."
