It is a mobile command center. The "gift" would require months, maybe years of work and millions in systems and upgrades to it to operate as Air Force One. Hell, just the weight increase would probably require a rebuild of the entire landing gear system.

Another bribe offered to stroke trump's vanity.

This shit is so tiring.

Probably the Qatari espionage bugs are also free and step-bugged by Russia Bernardo de La Paz May 2025 #6

So..that white elephant could be loaded with nefarious bugs wrapped in gold leaf?! Deuxcents May 2025 #9

Trojan Horse (had special forces military inside). Plane more T Horse than W.E. because US could afford upkeep. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz May 2025 #10

Hmmm...one might be more expensive with upkeep than the other but they're both budget busters Deuxcents May 2025 #11

Def not helpful to the budget, not needed. Plus I'm pretty sure it would need lots of mods for command center Bernardo de La Paz May 2025 #12
