GOP senators just voted to let Trump keep a $400M Qatari jet after his term, even with taxpayers shelling out $1 BILLION for its upgrades! Dems scream "bribe." The internet is furious!

“"… congressional budget sleuths have come to think that amount, slipped into an obscure Pentagon document sent to Capitol Hill as a 'transfer' to an unnamed classified project, almost certainly includes the renovation" of the jet that has been descibed as a "palace in the sky."

When classified equals camouflage for corruption: Trump’s jet got museum energy, while Pentagon plays purse holder. #QatariJet #PresidentialJet #TrumpLibrary #DefenseBudgetTheft
I haven’t heard boo about the #QatariJet for a while. Someone somewhere must have added up all his vanity projects and wasteful spending (jet refurbish, military parade, golf trips, DOGE costs, etc) to see how it compares to the billions they slashing from healthcare and food stamps.
“… Moreover, one reason Trump apparently wanted the new plane so badly is that the size of the current Air Force One made him feel insecure when parked next to jets owned by Middle Eastern royals.”

“… it has at least three lounges, two bedrooms, nine bathrooms, five galleys and a private office. The art-deco inspired interiors feature oversized couches and recliners, wood paneling, built-in bookshelves, and big-screen TVs.”

“… Paying for the crew alone of an Air Force One jet costs more than $37 million a year, and the total annual operating cost is $134 million a year, Pentagon documents show.”

“… Trump could also waive requirements for advanced security systems on the plane — although former Pentagon officials said this would be a mistake, as the plane is an essential part of the nation’s military defense during wartime.”

“… White House officials have said they are considering hiring L3Harris, a military contractor, to handle the work needed on the Qatari plane, although the source of the money to do this work, or even the total price tag, has not been made public.”

“… And even if the plane is donated, the cost of those retrofits would be enormous, according to current and former Pentagon officials: at least $1 billion.”

“… Trump insisted that the planned donation was not a personal gift to him, but to the Defense Department, and that it would go to his presidential library after he leaves office.”

“… The initial reports that Qatar would donate the plane generated an outcry. The plane would be one of the biggest foreign gifts ever received by the U.S. government, for use by a specific person, with no plans to seek congressional approval.”

“… By the time Mr. Trump toured the aircraft on Feb. 15, discussions about how to acquire the plane had changed. The talk among senior aides to Mr. Trump shifted from a government-to-government sale to a donation.”

“… Flying back to Washington on one of the existing Air Force One 747s, he marveled at what he had seen of the interiors of the Qatari jet and talked about the plane as if getting it for his own use was a done deal.“

“… The White House suggested at the time that Mr. Trump’s tour of the Qatari plane was intended to put pressure on Boeing to speed its work on its new presidential jets.
After Mr. Trump looked at the plane, one thing was clear: It was love at first sight.”

“… That means the round trip flight from Doha to Florida of about 30 hours in the air — not including the time on the ground — could have cost perhaps as much as $1 million for a charter.”

“… 747s are less popular these days even for heads of state. The planes have four engines and are expensive to maintain and operate. Getting parts over time will become more difficult as well, because the planes are no longer manufactured.”
