Could be the world’s most crafty assassination plot … little software bug … or a critical controller override … or a couple of embedded explosive bolts … what the hell … who could believe the US President could or would accept such charity … his ego and impatience for a new luxury Airforce 1 won’t allow him to willingly walk away from this apparent gift offer … Dex
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is ready to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet as a gift from the ruling family of Qatar during his trip to the Middle East this coming week, and U.S. officials say it could be converted into a potential presidential aircraft.
The Qatari government said a final decision hadn’t been made. Still, Trump defended the idea — what would amount to a president accepting an astonishingly valuable gift from a foreign government — as a fiscally smart move for the country.
ABC News reported that Trump will use the aircraft as his presidential plane until shortly before he leaves office in January 2029, when ownership will be transferred to the foundation overseeing his yet-to-be-built presidential library. ]]]]]
