This is total BS, illegal, and corrupt. Not to mention a security threat, who knows what type of technology another country could have installed on this “gift”. Also, didn’t he just spend a ton of taxpayer money to get a brand new Air Force One?!

When I heard and saw this gourdy flying machine, my first thought was how many "bugs" are going to be hidden in it? My next thought was this was another "payment" for something this nation wants from the US. This diabolical being in the WH will reap what he has sown and sows. I pray putin's puppet lives long and collects his "due" in waves and drips.

Who believes that he will transfer the plane to a nonexistent presidential library? Who believes that he will ever build a presidential library? The extreme amounts of money given to him by the billionaires and capitulation of corporations and law firms are just bribes and extortion. Trump and his administration continues to insult our intelligence.

My answer to both questions: no one. The words "presidential library" should never appear in a sentence that includes his name or refers to him. However, I can envision an empty structure built with used bricks, no windows surrounded by weeds and prominent sign: tRump Lie Berry. Its location? How about an empty lot near More_A_Lardo?

Trump library is an oxymoron. Those two words don't belong in the same sentence. A man who holds a Bible upside down in a display of his own profound ignorance, proving he doesn't know what to do with a book, has no clue what to do with a library. Except perhaps to tart it up in garish gold do-dads.

It would be tax deductible, but since he never disclosed his taxes, he probably doesn’t pay taxes. All those real estate write offs, dontcha know…

Elizabeth J. Sampson's avatar

He has to “donate” the plane to his “charitable” trust. Otherwise he’d have to pay gift tax if he owned it personally. After the deductible gift and estate taxes can be as high as 50%. So he’ll give it to the trust but use it personally. I think that’s illegal as hell, but he’ll get away with it.

No he didn't. He has frequently complained he doesn't want to fly in a Biden Air Force One. When he Commissioned Boeing to build a new one, then imposed the Tariffs, Boeing not only back out they left the US.

Yes to all- and the security risk is absolutely beyond even being possible to state. There is no way they could possibly search the plane enough to remove all insecure or potentially compromising electronics… but beyond merely insecure or open to exploitation, they can’t even be certain that there isn’t actual surveillance equipment throughout the plane. Like - I’m with you Beth, I guess I’m basically restating the same things… it’s just so disgustingly lacking in any shits given at all. Like - is this the time to use the 25 th amendment ? Notice how he isn’t even included in all these signal chats where decisions are made? Notice how he rambles worse than ever? He is off his rocker. Like , he is probably coloring his daily briefings , not reading them. Maybe eating the crayons too.

Chump says “it’s not ready yet.” Funny thing is — because Boeing is the manufacturer- he may be telling the truth for once.

Or, conversely, he just may have told them to slow it down.

Unfortunately they are doing more than stumbling forward. Our entire system is being reworked. We are being taken over by technocrat billionaires and corporations. Doge is doing as designed, RAGE as Curtis Yarvin described it, Retire All Govt Employees, replace with tech, notice how AI is being introduced at rapid pace. Elon, Peter Thiel etc will all land tidy tech contracts. This appears to be a coup of sorts.
