tRumps new Air Force One, ya know from Qatar......

[a kennedy]

President Trump on Friday unveiled the Boeing 747-8 that will serve as the new Air Force One, providing the first look at the $400 million luxury plane that the U.S. accepted as a gift from the Qatari government last year.

Mr. Trump descended the stairs from the hulking jet inside a hangar at Joint Base Andrews, the military post outside Washington that has served as the presidential airport for decades. He greeted Air Force officials and delivered remarks to a crowd of service members.

"There will never be one like this. This is very unique. This is considered the world's most luxurious plane," the president said. "When it was built, it was built at a level that will probably never be seen again."

Mr. Trump said the hangar in which he was speaking had to be specially constructed to house the new jet, which is much larger than the previous plane. He added later that the new version will lead a massive flyover of Washington on July 4, the nation's 250th birthday.

The Air Force said in a release that the aircraft will soon begin embarking on "commissioning flights," its "final exam" before it can be used to transport the president.

9. The most compromised plane ever

How many different ways and different countries have "extra" surveillance in it?

[Skittles]

WTF IS GOING ON

3. I like how he gets to keep it.

Now that the Constitution doesn’t apply to King Traitor.

7. when I was 19, enlisted and working in an Air Force personnel office

an elderly colonel's widow tried to slip me 20 bucks for helping her - I did not take it because I knew THAT WOULD BE WRONG.....no one had to tell me that either.....this sheer corruption with the so-called "PRESIDENT" is slimy and sickening beyond belief

13. Thank you for serving to protect the nation, Skittles

I mean it.

14. That's because at age 19 you had more class and integrity in your fingernail clippings ...

than Lard Ass has in his entire saggy, jiggling body.

8. Get to keep the plane

AND the fittings, security, paintwork - all provided by the US taxpayers. Maybe some kindly scamp could reprogram the autopilot to ditch into the Arctic ocean on his first private flight.

10. no issues if it happens earlier

Although I would prefer it be a flight with his private pilot, crew etc. Not public employees.

16. Maybe Dear Leader could be entombed in a National Hangar Queen mausoleum.

North Korean strongman style! No one else ever has deserved it or the encircling US Flag Green universal urinatorium.

15. I understand the sentiment.

Before the corrupt John Roberts court, it was the very definition of treason.

4. Trojan Horse?

Nelson DeMille wrote a novel, “By the Waters of Babylon,” about a Concorde that had an intentional “Trojan Horse” defect built into the airframe during manufacture in Toulouse, France.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

18. I know, exactly what I've been thinking......

6. It's seriously scary how far the media has fallen.

They used to have standards until the fucking asshole got reelected. Now it's all about kissing his ass 24/7. Fucking pathetic.

17. Hey Trump, will Allah Force One come with prayer rugs?
