    Yeah it'll never happen, IMO.

    Air Force One has the ability to refuel midflight, all of its wirings are encased so that it can withstand an EMP attack, heck... there are multiple Air Force Ones that often fly together, one as a backup in case the primary plane has issues.

      It’ll probably be used for non-presidential stuff until Trump leaves office then it will be his new Griftstream V.

          I used to think that way as well, at least until Karoline Leavitt walked to podium and explained it all.

              It wouldn't be used as-is for AF1. It would be outfited as AF1 by the American military, and that would take a while.

                Maybe the Qatari plane exceeds the AF1 standard.

                  Probably exceeds the threshold of top secret American government communications provided to Qatar, if that's what you mean.

                    Wasn’t there a sculpture or something that the Soviets tried to give the American Embassy in the 70’s that was all filled with electronic surveillance apparatus?

                      I think it was the whole embassy. LOL

                      WHen the US was building its new embassy in Moscow, it had to be teared down when it was part completed and they flew in US construction guys to build it from the ground up.

                                      Mr. Trump points out that only a stupid person would turn down a free $400M plane.

                                      He makes a good point.

                                      We don't want a stupid person as president.

                                      It is a difficult situation, but a nice gesture by the Qataris.
