2. What troubles me the most

About this plane business is that trump plainly wants to keep it after his term is finished. Giving it to HIS presidential library is pretty much the same as making it the trump luxury 747.

Then there's the cost to the American people; remove the Qatari fittings and decor, bring it up to Presidential security and safety standards and all that entails - not going to be cheap.

And after all this trump gets his very own AF1 clone? What about the new plane/s on order? What will it cost to back out of the order?

This is not a deal, it's another raid on America's shrinking pockets by the trump mob.
