If I were a President especially Trump with people trying to kill me left and right, I wouldn’t want anyone but an American team/company inserting technology into my plane and especially building the damn thing.

This plane is going to be taken down to the metaphorical studs, literally down to individual panels and rivets, and entirely rebuilt by a DOD contractor. Which on one hand alleviates your concern but on the other makes the entire ordeal somewhat absurd, as that process is going to take a long time.

This plane isn't just getting a new paint job.

Why did I spend months working on a military installation at the behest of our military in that very country?

If this is a bribe what is Qatar getting in return?

Conspiracy Theory

If it was it would probably be over natural gas.

US is the #1 exporter of natural gas, Russia #2, and Qatar is the #3 exporter.

Qatar wants a bigger share of the market and they want help. The longer the war in Ukraine last the more Qatar takes over Russian customers. Helping Qatar could be devastating to Russia

We have trade surplus with Qatar

Nobody and I mean nobody in the history of our country has ever given a president of the United States a gift. It has never happened before in the history of our country!

A notable development involves a Boeing 747-8 jet, originally customized for the Qatari royal family, which is currently under consideration to serve as a temporary Air Force One for President Trump. This aircraft, built by Boeing in the United States, is undergoing retrofitting in San Antonio, Texas, to meet presidential specifications. While the plane is not Qatari-built, its association with Qatar has sparked discussions regarding foreign influence and the ethics of accepting such a gift.

I’m sure you already posted about how Trump makes Hunter Biden look like child’s play. Surely.


Trump won't own this plane.

Cause reason one in any book on dealing with a terrorist state or even a friendly is that it could be compromised.
Easy reason.
