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.

No, I found it. It was in the 40s and surprisingly innovative

Andrew McCarthy calls it what it is.

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.

Any idiot could tell you there's no such thing as a free plane.

I wonder what year the plane is from. They mention that the current 747's used by the president are 30 years old. I would think that the government would be able to procure a more recent one from another source just as easy and would avoid all the conflict of interest with this one.

A plain old 747, even the latest models, only cost about $400M.
The new 747s being built to be used as Air Force 1 will cost about 10X that - $4 billion, or more. Air Force 1 is special.
