Donald Trump, president of the United States, defended his decision to accept a$ 400 million aircraft from Qatar to replace an unofficial Air Force One, stating that it was given to the defense department and that only a fool would refuse to accept a free gift. Trump confirmed on Sunday that Qatar‘s royal household may provide a posh Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet for free to the US. Trump stated in a blog on Truth Social that the Boeing 747 is being given to the Department of Defense and the Air Force, NOT to me. We have successfully defended it for many years as a present from a Nation, Qatar. Our government will use it as a momentary Air Force One until our new Boeing aircraft, which are very late on shipping, arrive. When they can get it for Independent from a nation that wants to encourage us for a job well done, why should our military, and so our citizens, be forced to spend hundreds of millions of dollars? Instead of using this substantial discounts, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Just a FOOL may refuse to accept this present in the name of our nation. Thank you for paying attention to this issue.” he continued. The opulent plane has five kitchens, five lounges, a private office, two full bathrooms, and a master bathroom, host suite, and five kitchens all created by French company Alberto Pinto. This jet is designed for only 90 VIPs and 14 team members, with business-class seating only available in a few rows, unlike professional 747s, which carry over 460 passengers.

When Trump spoke to Fox News, he compared Air Force One to aviation owned by Middle Eastern countries, noting that,” And when you land and you see Saudi Arabia and you see Qatar and you see all these – and they have these brand-new Boeing 747s, generally, and you see theirs next to it- this is like a completely different airplane.” The 13-year-old aircraft, which needs modifications to join Air Force One specifications, could possibly be transferred to Trump’s political library foundation after his presidency.” And we’re the United States of America– I believe we should have the most remarkable plane,” he said.
Trump responded,” We would like to make a donation. You have engaged in numerous activities. And we want to give the gift to the Defense Department,” which is where it’s going,” and added,” And I said, Well, that’s great. The leader expressed concern about accepting political presents, but he also raised some reservations. Trump defended his position on” Hannity,” saying that” some people don’t recognize presents for the nation.” Why haven’t I take a gift, I ask myself? Why haven’t I acknowledge a gift since we’re giving to everyone else? He noted that” It will take a while before the Boeings are finished,”” I believe it will be a while.”
