Trump Set to Receive $400M ‘Flying Palace’ From Qatar to Use as Air Force One: Report
President Trump is set to receive a “flying palace” Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar’s royal family, which he will use as Air Force One, according to a report.
Trump, 78, intends to use the aircraft — called the most luxurious private jet in the world — as an interim presidential jet while Boeing completes the next generation Air Force One fleet following years of frustrating delays and cost-overruns.
The jumbo jet, valued at $400 million, will then potentially be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation as the president leaves office, sources told ABC News.
The Republican leader appeared to confirm that he will accept the plane in a Truth Social post Sunday night in which he called Democrats “World Class Losers” for criticizing the arrangement.
“So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane,” he wrote.
