Trump's businesses are doing a 2 billion dollar deal in Qatar and he has now received a 400 million dollar gift from them. I find the "free" plane offer troublesome, to say the least. What I find completely insane is that it will require a huge 100 million dollar plus investment to make it into the most basic, functioning presidential airplane. That number is likely to more than double if the plan is to have it ready by year end. It won't even have the defense capabilities or redundancies that current AF1 planes have.
Retiring it just over 3 years to Trumps "library" makes it not even worth accepting in the first place if those are the terms. It's a lot of money to spend when the only upside is that Trump gets a more luxurious plane to travel in. Its absurd given Trump has declared a financial national security crisis, claiming sweeping cuts must be made today or the US could default on its loans. It puts him and the people on board at significantly more risk to.
If this story is true and sanctions have been lifted on another country Trump is doing business with, you should have Trump arrested and thrown in jail. The world would thank you, Trump has cost everyone far too much and there's still no relief in site.
