Trump reportedly set to accept jet from Qatar’s ruling family

The existing planes used as Air Force One are heavily modified.

DONALD TRUMP REPORTEDLY is set to accept a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet as a gift from the ruling family of Qatar during his trip to the Middle East this coming week, and US officials could convert the plane into a potential presidential aircraft.

ABC News reported that Trump will use the plane as a new version of Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office in January 2029, when ownership will be transferred to the foundation overseeing his yet-to-be-built presidential library.

The gift is expected to be announced when Trump visits Qatar as part of a trip that also includes stops in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the first extended foreign travel of his second term.

Administration officials, anticipating questions about the president accepting such a large gift from a foreign government, have prepared an analysis arguing that doing so would be legal, according to ABC.

The Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bars anyone holding government office from accepting any present, emolument, office or title from any “King, Prince, or foreign State,” without congressional consent.

Trump intends to convert the Qatari aircraft into a plane he can fly on as president, with the Air Force planning to add secure communications and other classified elements to it.

But it will still have more limited capabilities than the existing planes that were built to serve as Air Force One, as well as two other aircraft currently under construction, according to a former US official who was briefed about the plane and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that have not yet been made public.

The existing planes used as Air Force One are heavily modified with survivability capabilities for the president for a range of contingencies, including radiation shielding and anti-missile technology.

They also include a variety of communications systems to allow the president to remain in contact with the military and issue orders from anywhere in the world.

The official told The Associated Press that it would be possible to quickly add some counter-measures and communications systems to the Qatari plane, but that it would be less capable than the existing Air Force One aircraft or long-delayed replacements.

Neither the Qatari plane nor the upcoming VC-25B aircraft will have the air-to-air refuelling capabilities of the current VC-25A aircraft, which is the one the president currently flies on, the official said.

Air Force One is a modified Boeing 747. Two exist and the president flies on both, which are more than 30 years old. Boeing has the contract to produce updated versions, but delivery has been delayed while the company has lost billions of dollars on the project.

Delivery has been pushed to some time in 2027 for the first plane and in 2028 — Trump’s final full year in office — for the second.

ABC said the new plane is similar to a 13-year-old Boeing aircraft Trump toured in February, while it was parked at Palm Beach International Airport and he was spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago club.

Trump’s family business, the Trump Organisation, which is now largely run by his sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, has vast and growing interests in the Middle East.

That includes a new deal to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar, partnering with Qatari Diar, a real estate company backed by that country’s sovereign wealth fund.

Administration officials have brushed off concerns about the president’s policy interests blurring with family’s business profits. They note that Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children and that a voluntary ethics agreement released by the Trump Organisation in January bars the company from striking deals directly with foreign governments.

But that same agreement allows deals with private companies abroad. That is a departure from Trump’s first term, when the organisation released an ethics pact prohibiting both foreign government and foreign company deals.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, when asked on Friday if the president during his upcoming trip might meet with people ties to his family’s business, said it was “ridiculous” to suggest Trump “is doing anything for his own benefit”.

While Trump is credited as the author, Schwartz claims he did most of the writing and has referred to his role as “ghostwriting” the book. Schwartz’s involvement in the project was reportedly for financial gain, and he has since expressed regret over his participation, stating that he “put lipstick on a pig”.

    @Housing Hunger Games: it does (to the best of my knowledge) – that’s probably why they are explicitly saying that it would belong to the presidential library after his term is over. Technically it’s not him that’s receiving the gift, it’s the office of the president followed by the library, so never him personally. Not sure what the rules are around the office of the president /presidential library accepting gifts. It still stinks.

    Turning this into another Air Force One would be at least a few million dollars in upgrades. Apart from all the communications and shielding, those planes have an operating room. Can’t see how spending all that is in any way efficient.

    Trump returned two books to the library,not realising there was late fees owed. He had no cash on him, but left momentarily,and returned with a vegetable. Ya thought I couldn’t pay,he crooned. But there ya go,that’s a turnip for the books!

    Dumbo Jet. Perfect. Full of hidden Chinese listening devices and circuitry to disable the flight controls and any defensive countermeasures. Oh. Right – it doesnt have any such measures 747 is not cutting edge. Current AF One fleet is superior. Captain Fantatastic is even a danger to himself!

    Thanks, Donald. Due to your corrupt disregard for most articles of the U.S. Constitution, I now know how to correctly spell ‘emoluments’. Your constant claims during your first term of Article 1 Section 9 Clause 8 being “phony” turned my spelling around. I couldn’t have done this without you.
