The president is planning to accept a Boeing 747-8 jet from the country and use it as a new Air Force One.

Summary

Trump lashed out at bipartisan critics after reports revealed he plans to accept a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet from Qatar for use as Air Force One.

In a Truth Social post, Trump dismissed concerns as “world class losers” complaining about a transparent gift. Qatar stated the plane is under legal review between its Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon.

Critics, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Chris Murphy, and Rep. Jamie Raskin, accused Trump of corruption and violating the Constitution.

Even allies like Laura Loomer led the MAGA pushback to the jet deal.

    Realistically, it would probably cost more to retrofit a plane than to just build it from scratch.

        Indeed.

        It’s peak Trump; it starts out criminal, and then veers into wildly stupid, with stops for complete insanity and horrible bad taste.

        Slightly off topic. This video shows Obama and Jerry Seinfeld sitting in the actual Presidential limo. When you see it in the movies the back seat roomy enough for four adults. In actuality, the armor makes the interior tight for two folks.
