Fascinating details emerging with the Qatari royal family giving Donald Trump the personal gift of a fully blinged out 747. Yes, they’re giving him a plane.
When I first heard this story a few days ago it at least sounded like Trump had finally lost patience with Boeing because they either couldn’t or would’t or wouldn’t quickly enough produce a blinged out new Air Force One to meet Trump’s wishes. The US has been trying to buy a new AF1 for a number of years and it had gotten caught up between the very different demands of Trump and Biden and maybe also Boeing’s woes. I figured the Qataris were either gifting the plane to the US government or selling it. In either case it would be the US government’s and it’s for the use of future Presidents. That’s not what’s happening.
