THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

No one knows what's going to happen with it.

we do know the trump administration has said it would go to the pentagon, be used for official puposes which is allowed under gift giving guidelines and then donated to the library where it would belong to the national archives.

Boeing is years behind and billions over budget building the replacement planes. In the mean time there is only 1 airworthy AF1. The backup plane developed structural problems.

part of the problem is the AF1 project was delayed when biden came into office to see if they had any changes they wanted to make. that was mismanged like everything else during the biden administration

Not to mention the train wreck Boeing has become

No one knows what's going to happen with it. To do so is just guessing. My guess is that he is not going to keep it for his own. Where it ends up? Good question. Presidential library? AF1 for the next president?


Immigration enforcement plane? lol

But he can't keep it without Congressional approval.

You know that's not going to keep the media and never Trumpers from keeping the narrative going

 

[newfie]

But he can't keep it without Congressional approval.

he never said he wants to keep it for his own personal use.
.
otherwise all he has to do is report any gift over a certain amount to the secretary of state.
rules below much ado about nothing

• Gifts valued over $480 (as of 2023, adjusted periodically by the GSA) are considered property of the U.S. government.
  https://www.gsa.gov/policy-regulati...olicy-overview/special-programs/foreign-gifts
• These gifts must be reported to the State Department and are typically transferred to the National Archives or a presidential library for storage or display.
  https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/reagans/reagan-administration/presidential-gifts
  https://www.girardslaw.com/blog/foreign-gifts-to-us-presidents.cfm
• Presidents can accept such gifts without congressional consent if refusal would cause embarrassment to the U.S. or harm foreign relations, but they are not for personal use.
  https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R42662.html
  https://www.doi.gov/ethics/gifts
• Examples include ceremonial items (e.g., the Resolute Desk, a gift from Queen Victoria) or high-value diplomatic gifts like a Boeing 747 proposed by Qatar, intended for government use (e.g., as Air Force One).

  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/11/trump-air-force-one-qatar/
• The president cannot retain these for personal use unless they purchase them at fair market value, and even then, the gift may remain government property until the end of their term.

Melania is quite accomplished on her own and a tribute to the small country she came from. you should probably shake your msygonists mindset and learn to appreciate women for their accomplishments.

a country who believes in suppressing speech and individual liberties like france?

do you know what liberty even means?

when you cant come up with a coherent explanation as to why you disagree with someone its best to call them an evil sounding name to cover up your own shortcomings
