Trump Is Said to Be Getting Qatari 747 for Air Force One, and Post-Presidency Travel: Live Updates

A foreign-supplied aircraft is pretty much guaranteed to be filled with listening devices, and won't have the protective measures that are built into the US Air Force One. Not to mention the bribery problem with planning on using it for personal use after leaving office.

Jesus fuck I'm so sick of this being the top news. There isn't anything else of import going on in the world that we need a 3-day news cycle about Trump's grift? Who does this surprise?

I don't know why anyone thinks that Trump is more likely to spill state secrets to a listening device installed on Air Force 1. Qatar could just give him money and he will tell them whatever he wants to tell them, probably for a lot less than the cost of an aircraft. We should assume all state secrets are compromised.

Look at this lovely wooden horse.

Wasn't he already having a new one built? Are we just going to scrap that, and waste all that money?
- two, he's having boeing make two of them
- It’s all laundering anyway. The money was never going anywhere good with this administration.
  Wake up, America… Please… poke
