Am I missing something? Is the current AF1 inoperable?
this is for trump and he gets to keep it. they just handed him personally $400m. imagine dax's response if biden had something even at the $1m level given to him by some foreign county to buy his services.
I had heard about that, but Daxbot started some rambling bullshit about this being because Boeing can't deliver the new AF1. Is the current one not operable? What's with this false choice of the Quatari plane vs Boeing delivering the new AF1?
It's not, the current one has/is capable enough. The questions that aren't being asked really with the bribe one, like what is the literally expectation with it? Is the SS going to let him fly in a plane that doesn't have all the modifications AF1 needs? How much will that cost to mod it? How long will that take to accomplish? Even at best to change the aircraft configuration would probably take a good year+, at best, heck it's the reason the new ones are taking so long. The issue with the current ones being developed isn't that Boeing can't build the airplane (I get the jokes but hur hur) but seriously it's all the mods the plane has to make it be a capable command center in the skies. So then Qatar gifted a plane that basically cannot be used by the president while he is the president, unless we don't want all the self defense, can survive EMP pulses, be integrated into the communications of the US Government is just going to do what? Nothing, go to the library, a trophy to the biggest bribe a US president has accepted.
