Re that 747 flying palace Trump is drooling over, a serious question

Say the wanna-bee king gets that bribe, err, plane, and the US government does all the special add ons needed to make it a secure flying command post, which AF1 has to be, then Trump gets to take it with him when he finally leaves office: How do we make sure the rat bastard doesn't fly it to a less than friendly nation where Putin's people can tear it apart to learn what AF1 has and how that information can be used to neutralize the flying command post?

We know the rat bastard took a lot of files which may well have been auctioned. Why would we give him access to a flying command center with all the special equipment that he could share with the foreign powers who have been manipulating him for so long?

I'd write these questions to my congressman, but he's a trump licking idiot. Maybe I best fire off letters to Senators Kelly and Gallego. I know they are probably busy, but I have concerns. With Kristi Noem wanting her own private jet, which would probably need a lot of special equipment, one needs to consider that greedy traitors might be looking to sell tech secrets which could put us at risk.

Or, should I just have a Snickers and chill?

It says that all the stuff they'll have to do to it would possibly not be completed
by the end of his term in 2029. I may be wrong but I don't think it will happen.
