~~~~~~With time and money we can....which could take a year or so and a hundred million, for trump to use only 1 or 2 years then send it to his presidential library, instead of other presidents using it?
Thanks, but no thanks! Imo.
Congress has to vote on accepting the gift...so we will see.
Trump has wanted this plane since he first saw it in February.
Key Background
Trump had previously toured the plane back in February, and at the time The New York Times reported he was considering it to be a new Air Force One. His spokesperson, Steven Cheung, told CNN when Trump was looking at the plane he was touring it “to checkout the new hardware/technology”

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said Tuesday that the plane "poses significant espionage and surveillance problems."
Converting a luxury jet gifted by Qatar to President Donald Trump into a replacement for Air Force One could potentially cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and it could take up to two years to install the necessary security equipment, communications and defensive capabilities for it to be safely used by the commander in chief, current and former officials told CNN.
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said Tuesday that the plane "poses significant espionage and surveillance problems." Across the aisle, Democratic Sen. Jack Reed, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said accepting it would pose "immense counterintelligence risks by granting a foreign nation potential access to sensitive systems and communications."

. Overhauling it, according to administration estimates the person has been briefed on, could cost as much as three times that, or more.
Even if used temporarily as Trump has said he would, US agencies would need to ensure there were no security vulnerabilities by essentially stripping the aircraft down to its frame and rebuilding it with the necessary communications and security equipment.
Commentary;
Pres. Trump may accept the gift on behalf of the U.S. but probably never use the plane for traveling.
Marxist Democrats in their inimitable manner try to make mountains out of mole hills.

The point is, those who buy into the mainstream narrative all seem to be conspicuously silent on this, or don't see any hypocrisy or conflicts of interest at all.
