So while Trump was in the UAE, they offered to give him a private jet which was worth $400 million. Of course he turned it down because the present Air Force One is far more secure in any case.

But the left wingers have been screaming that Trump took a $400 Million bribe, which he didn't. It must be fun to be able to invent any reality you want.

The current planes (primary Air Force One are pairs, so one

any airplane with POTUS in it uses AF1 as their call sign.)

At 35 years old, they are at the end of their useful life
and so new planes were ordered in 2018 for 2024 delivery.

The planes are not yet built and the delivery is now

Mr Trump is in Qatar, not UAE.  The scheming traitorous
Qataris offered a jet for his use. Many people, I among
them, think that's batshit crazy in general, and in

shelter to Kalid Sheikh Mohammad after he bombed the World

echelon and their families, fund Hamas and other jihadi
murderers including top Al Quaeda directors.  The list is long:
