President Trump poised to accept "palace in the sky" as a gift from Qatar: Sources

In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar.

It is to be available for use by Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans.

    “I bought a plane. It’s really two planes, Air Force One. Now if Boeing would build the damn thing it would be nice, too. We don’t build like we used to. We don’t build too fast,”

    The possible future where Air Force One is Boeing quality with Qatari design and its critical security features are unnecessarily retrofitted at “move fast and break things” speed… and the only people who will ever use it are Trump’s camp-de-shit…

    I like it. It’s a nice future.
