He's allowing a foreign government to create and gift his presidential aircraft? This is the pinnacle of trumpism, both incredibly corrupt and incredibly stupid.

My immediate first thought was the new US embassy being built in then-Soviet Moscow in the 80’s. Since we were foolish enough to contract with the Soviets for pretty much all the construction work it ended up with literally hundreds of listening devices built into it.

I’m sure this airplane is similarly compromised.

I was thinking something similar. Listening and tracking of the US President. That is an espionage dream. It would probably be more useful than assassination, as they'd have direct access quite frequently and could sell the information to adversaries if they aren't interested in acting themselves.

Hope it comes with inbuilt C4 just in case.

Imagine if for some reason that new plane crashed right after Trump incentivises Tesla vehicle ownership?

If you can take one thing away from Trump in power. Anything the next Dem pres does and it's met with judgement....all you have to say...."You were fine with it, when Trump did it."

You're working off the idea that they have consistent principles and give a shit about hypocrisy, precedent etc.

And also that there's going to be another democrat president.

But they can't comprehend that because they are retarded sheep.

I'm sure before he ever uses it it will completely sweep it. Top to bottom for any bugs or other surveillance equipment left there on accident by Qatar.
