Damn, this one even pierced the dumbfucks over on r/conservative. You've got a couple comments on the bullshit, but most of them are saying it's a bad idea.

The right is desperately trying to spin this as a genius move because, as we all are fully aware, the current air force one jet is just so old and it's replacement behind schedule that it's logical Trump would accept the gift so that everything about it can be thrown out and converted and that he obviously won't get to keep it after he leaves office. Why not convert a plane that's already on US soil, don't even worry about that.

There was 100-odd days ago. I remember back then.

And whatever failures in policy you can pin on Biden, I don't think you can do it and say it's because of corruption.

Pretty sure the military will comb it and install anti-attack measurements before it is being used as Air Force One.

The very same military that's dunked three expensive fighter jets into the Red Sea in the last two months? The one led by an alcoholic part time Fox News host?

Still safer than having Elon cut regulations to speed up the delivery of the still being built next Air Force One.

No, let Trump go ahead and ride in the DOGE approved plane. In 2028 the next president can ride in a safe one instead.

Trump literally went "you'd have to be stupid to not receive an expensive gift like this." So he's not gonna back down.

Air Force would have to dismantle the plane in order to make sure it doesn't have any spying equipment and Trump will probably refuse to let them do that too.

Whats the plan then? To pretend it is bugged and say random shit that sounds official but isnt? Because Trump could honestly pull that off.

Yeah it's completely transparently corrupt and self serving, and probably a quid pro quo on top of all that, I think I heard something about a Trump golf course that's gonna be built in Qatar now. But his cultists see none of that. They all think this is great!

This seems like a huge national security risk, but we know this administration just doesnt actually care about national security risks.

Like, obviously this plane is going to be checked out 6 ways from Sunday for security risks, but this just sounds like an immediately awful idea from that perspective alone.

Maybe it's just a cost cutting measure. Instead of Foreign countries having to hack Signal to get our top secret data, they can just buy it from this Qatar jet. Or something.

This is about Trump having a brand nww $400m jet when he leaves office.

Not so he can find a replacement for Air Force 1.

Hopefully it takes so long to break down, remove all the spy tech, and reassemble it, that he'll never see the jet.

Instead of how Reagans library had a replica of Air Force 1, Trumps library will have this plane with whatever upgrades he can scam out of the Secret Service before leaving office.

At which point he will begin flying around in it.

I think this may answer some questions:

Its a great gesture from Qatar, Trump told reporters on Monday. I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer. I mean, I could be a stupid person and say, No, we dont want a free, very expensive airplane.

...

The cost of a retrofit like this would likely be on the order of a heavy maintenance cycle for a VC-25A, which is in the tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars, said former Air Force acquisitions chief Andrew Hunter.

Add to that the significant cost of sweeping the aircraft for software modifications or embedded foreign tech. Thats not a trivial thing to do, Hunter said. That alone would cost tens of millions of dollars.

...

This gift could become a very expensive asset to own and operate, Hunter said. You might even ask why Qatar no longer wants the aircraft. And the answer may be that its too expensive for them to maintain.
