Hilarious. The same usual suspects here who had ZERO issues with Biden getting millions from the ChiComs and other shady "leaders" lose their minds over this. Hypocrisy on full display. And the Dems wonder why they're a laughingstock now Originally Posted by Lantern2814Did the people around Biden ride his coattails? Certainly. However I have real doubts that any corruption of the white house occurred. You can not say the same about the situation here.

Regardless of how I feel about Trump personally, accepting a 400 million dollar airplane and sticking the taxpayer with the cost of refurbishment is in direct contradiction of the US Constitution.
The corruption is blatant and out for all to see. Defending it is a direct assault on the constitution and a violation of your obligations as a citizen of the United States. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Boeing has a contract to replace Air Force One. What’s the delay?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...-one-contract/
President Donald Trump’s confirmation Sunday that the United States may accept a presidential aircraft gifted from Qatar marked the latest escalation in his clash with Boeing, which is years behind on its government contract to build the new Air Force One.
Boeing was supposed to deliver a replacement for Air Force One last year, but significant delays have cost the plane maker billions on the project. They have also drawn ire from the president, who told reporters aboard Air Force One in February that he was “not happy with Boeing” and may purchase a plane elsewhere.

Boeing is way behind on their contract. if they had delivered one new plane last year do you think any of this would be happening now? Trump is playing Boeing to make their damn plane faster. how long does it take for a jetliner anyway? even with the extra military hardware.
one presumes Boeing has a frame started and it's a matter of finishing it out so Boeing needs to take this as exactly what it is .... a call to arms by Trump to get the plane finished. Boeing's rep is tarnished recently, they subcontracted out modules (a US based source btw) and this caused several of their recent incidents .. like hatches blowing off in flight.
amusing many of you assume TDS grift when the truth is Boeing dropped the ball. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Either way it’s not a good reason for the President to troll the American people.
But at least you’re argument makes some kind of logical sense. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Refitting it to military specs will involve stripping it down and rebuilding it.
The two that Boeing has under construction will be finished before that's done. Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter
