  "textContent": "submitted by Powderhorn to usnews\n2 points | 1 comments\nhttps://www.npr.org/2026/06/19/nx-s1-5864503/air-force-one-trump-qatar\n\n> The newest Air Force One jet, gifted to President Trump from the Qatari government, arrived ahead of schedule on Friday to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.\n>\n> Friday afternoon, Trump toured the luxury Boeing 747 plane that initially stirred controversy. The plane was one of the biggest foreign gifts ever received by the U.S. government and raised legal and ethical questions after Qatar offered to replace the presidential jet last year. Trump said last May he’d be “stupid” not to accept the offer. Industry groups originally said the plane could be worth approximately $400 million.\n\n* * *\n\n> “This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody’s ever seen before, probably even almost outside of an airplane,” Trump said. “Nobody’s ever seen anything like this, and in only 10 months, a timeframe no one thought possible.”\n\nOh, shut the fuck up. Lots of people have seen a 747-8, and this is not a situation where “it took a fraction of the estimated time” is a particularly good look. I guess kudos on skipping “the likes of which.”",
