AF1: I have an idea

Instead of taking a bribe from Qatar, how about we build a new Air Force One? It would be American made, and will provide jobs. “MAGA”!

But for themselves, they want the life of infinite luxury. We are not a poverty stricken nation. We do not need other countries to provide our presidents with airplanes. Austerity is a big act for these people, so be satisfied with your two dolls for Christmas. can’t have Medicaid unless you have a job. (Of course, if you had a job, you wouldn’t need Medicaid.) Maga. Must be exhausted, explaining away all of these acts of criminality from Trump

Who needs all those sophisticated countermeasures, defensive and offensive capabilities, highly secure communications, and assurances that there are no listening or other espionage devices on the plane. Just fly up there in your Qatari Jet and show the world how rich and important you are! Stinger missiles be damned!

How long could it possibly take to do the same in a plane? Just get some gold on the walls and wheels up!
