This used plane is Trump in a nutshell. Old, unwanted, owned by Qatari Royal family, tacky, a danger to national security. No wonder he loves it.

A Club World Cup final between PSG & Chelsea seems to encapsulate the state of the game in 2025: a club owned by a Qatari sovereign wealth fund facing a club owned primarily by an American private equity firm.

Strongly urging folks not to accept the "Air Force One" framing on this. Air Force One is a government plane, owned by the taxpayers and available to whoever the president is. Trump's Qatari sky palace will be outfitted at taxpayer's expense, used by him and then transferred to his ownership.
Congress needs to step in and stop Trump from taking a $400 million bribe from Qatar. And we need a full independent investigation - hearings, special counsel, the works.

What is political corruption? Hypothetically, if a company owned by the President secured a $5.5 bn deal with the Qatari government to build a beachside resort, and then the President announced he would replace Air Force One with a Qatari jet, would that be the appearance of impropriety?

“the president toured a half-billion dollar luxury 747 owned by the Qatari government which it then gave to him as a ‘gift’ and then he used it to replace Air Force One with the plan of keeping it after leaving office” is the most insane corruption any president has ever done and should end Trump
ABC reports Trump to take “flying palace” from Qatar and use it as temporary Air Force 1 before converting it to a personal possession.

The new Trump-branded development just announced in Qatar will be developed by Qatari Diar, which is owned by the Qatari government.
That seems to violate even Trump's (very weak) second term ethics pledge.

Russias largest company Rosneft, the state oil giant is in trouble. The company is actually owned 45% by the Russian state, some 19% by the Qatari Investment Fund and until the war 18% by BP, which has written off its holdings. The rest is free floating shares.

Seeing as how the modifications to the Qatari jet won't be done before the midterms, one of the first bills the new Congress can pass is making it illegal to use an Air Force One that was previously owned by a foreign nation.

Converting a Qatari-owned 747 jet into a new Air Force One for President Trump would involve installing multiple top-secret systems and cost over $1 billion — more than twice the plane’s value, aviation experts tell NBC News.
