I tthought that the only benefit og this bribe was that it was free ?
Spending a billion on new curtains seems a lot of money given the size of the deficit
In times of austerity could not some savings be made in this ?

And all the money they're spending on that gaudy "let them eat cake" ballroom.

It's almost as if they don't plan on leaving.

Is it possible for the state to take this aeroplane back into public ownership when trump dies soon ?

Trump is paying for the ballroom, not taxpayers. You're welcome.

The jet is owned by the US Air Force. It will end up in the Trump library.

1. The plane was free
2. There are two new AF-1 jets on order from Boeing that are due to arrive 2027

3. I agree with democrats that wasting $1b to retrofit the "gift" jet makes no sense

Right?!

That money, from private donors, could be going to fund transgender animal studies in Botswana!

The plane was gifted to the nation. It's already public ownership.

 

[Moonglow]

The jet is owned by the US Air Force. It will end up in the Trump library.

Then there is no need to upgrade it since it will never be flown.

Are you really shit stupid? Do you think new curtains is all they retro to make it AF-1?

And $1 billion is half the cost of starting from scratch, idiot.

Trump is saving Americans $1 billion, and you are pissing your depends over curtains.

Folks, this is how far this lunatics have gone. Complete morons.

You ******* moron. Trump himself and private donors will pay for that.

No wonder you can't add 15 and 15.

Who's paying for the new White House golden ballroom? What we know

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he inspected the site of the ballroom that "would be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump."

Don't believe a word that Liz Warren says.

She can't talk without lying.

That Jet was contracted long before Trump won his second term....and it was already set up to be an alternate Air Force One when it was in production. The media and Democrats in congress are just making up stories again.

Pocahontas is a lying commie and nothing she says is worth listening to.

1. So how long would it take to upgrade the gift jet? 1 or 2 years?

2. Who would do the upgrade. Boeing? Would that delay the two new jets? Hint; we don't need 3 new AF-1s

3. In 2 years (2027) Boeing will deliver the two new jets

4. I agree to upgrade the gift jet is a waste of taxpayer money.

You'll never get to dance in the ballroom.

Cancel one. They violated the contract.

 

[kyzr]

Cancel one. They violated the contract.

Boeing says the delay was caused by changing criteria, like requiring workers to have a security clearance.

More theatrics from the rudderless democrats?
