US Welcomes Qatari Gift: Fiery Debate Over New Air Force One

I was simply pointing out that lefties should be no stranger to wasting money.  I never said that Biden was lining his pockets with the student loan scheme, he was simply wasting money by vote buying with the taxpayer's money. You seem to think the 747 belongs to Trump, it doesn't, it belongs to the US taxpayers.  Spending taxpayer money on a taxpayer asset for modifications is justified.  Your lack of comprehension as to what I previously said is a clear indication of what's wrong with the dumpster fire (previously known as the Democratic Party).  You should just go back to riding around in your cracked-out clown car (Carville's term) because obviously you are way beyond you comprehension level.

No, spending taxpayer money on something is certainly NOT 'justified' when lots of money--39 billion--has already been spent to buy the exact same thing.  Actually two exact same things.  The gift plane is unjustified duplication not matter how you try to spin it.  Total waste of money solely because Trump wants a shiny new toy to play with.

    Just another grift. At least there are millions of children around the world who can give up eating and starve so the US can afford this monstrosity.

I didn't say Biden received a 747.  I said he received a gift from Putin!!  Jeez, another lefty whose comprehension level of the English language is abysmal.

 

Of course you didn't say that. You merely insinuated that Putin's gift was of the same value. Which of course it wasn't, nor would it cost the US taxpayers millions of $USD to upgrade, especially when there are 2 already being built and partly paid for by the US tax payers already.

 

As for being a :"lefty", you have NO idea what my political stance is, since we have never met, and never will,, fortunately for me.

 

You are simply making an assumption, and as usual, the wrong one.

 

Please explain why YOU believe that my, quote from your post

You make a lot of allegations but somehow you never deliver the facts, figures and verifiable links to back them up.

 

You seem to insult posters that don't agree with you as well, as in this post I have just replied to.

LOL.  Only a lefty would criticize a free airplane especially when you consider the billions wasted by Biden on student loans and billions more on criminal immigration which put every American in danger, not to mention those who lost their lives at the hands of criminal immigrates.  "Trump's shiny new toy" as you like to call it isn't putting Americans in danger as did the actions of the previous President.  Carry on with your hate.  It gives me great joy knowing that Trump is pis*sing off the lefties.

A gift is a gift!  I never insinuated they were of the same value - you assumed, hence your lack of comprehension and yes, thank God that I'll never meet you.  I don't care to associate with lefty crybabies.

So anyone that has a difference of opinion to you on a subject is a "lefty crybaby"....🤔

 

Now that is a very daft philosophy, but, a perfect red ball-cap wearer Trump voter thought......

So, well done, get your name put forward for the non-military medal of honor, knowing Trump, you could be up there with a chance........:intheclub:

    Again with the 'free'.  Having to spend one billion dollars--or more--does not equate to 'free'.  Carry on with your delusion that America got something for free that isn't going to cost anything.

One billion to renovate?  That's a great deal for the taxpayers.  It costs 2 billion to build a new Air Force One.  Sounds like a savings of one billion.  Try not to let your hate get in the way of basic math.

How is that a great deal for the taxpayers when Boeing have been paid $3.9 billion to deliver two AF1's already? If it was instead of that you would have a point, but it is on top of. So instead of spending $3.9b you are spending $4.9b.

Try not to let your stupidity and blind loyalty get in the way of basic maths.

I think that remains to be seen but considering all the good things Trump has done, I wouldn't object if it was given to Trump.  You're welcome to disagree, I could care less.

Let me make this perfectly clear!  I am not here to serve you, no matter how entitled you think you are.  If you are too lazy to simply type an idiom into a search engine then you are not worth my time to even bother with you.  Good luck with your "I hate Trump derangement".

Again you are sadly confused.....it only belongs to the taxpayer whilst the one billion dollar refit is carried out........then it goes to the "Trump Library"......and when it does, tax free, Trump has the sole say over what happens to it.....use it, sell it, whatever.

If finished on time, trump will start charging the US government for the use while he's still in office.

Really??  You haven't heard of Google?  Or is it that you feel entitled?  

Putin gave Biden a $12K desk and pen in 2021, one of the many gifts foreign leaders gave the president that year

Up to you to substantiate claims you make.

What happened to the pen and desk, donated to the US government as required?

    Ha.  I can do math just fine.   And, thank you for making my case for me.  You're right--the USA is spending 2 billion each for the 2 AF1 replacements with a fixed cost contract.  Boeing has spent at least 2 billion more.  Simply Flying has pegged it at 7 billion.   

    Spending another 1 billion, but likely more than that, to build a third plane--that isn't needed and will be parked at Trump's library--no way adds up to a 'savings'.  USA spending 4 billion now.  USA spending at least 5 billion due to a useless not free gift to Trump.  Which is less?  4 billion or 5 billion?  Hard to see any 'savings' when at least 1 billion more is being spent.

     It remains a useless billion dollar toy for Trump, especially with two AF1s that we now have that will serve fine until the 2 new ones arrive.   It's really no different than someone having two used Cadillacs that they drive.  They've ordered two new Cadillacs and are awaiting their delivery--they're being customized.  But, impatient, they order a third Cadillac to drive while they wait for the other two.  But, the kicker, the third Cadillac isn't ready to drive, either.  Like the other two, it needs to be customized first.  Spending that extra billion--or more--makes no sense at all.  And, it makes no sense whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, although the GOP used to be the party that touted fiscal responsibility.  That's gone out the window with this super expensive, superfluous toy for Trump.

just copy and paste the above, that I gave you before.  Do you understand copy and paste?  Are all lefties of the opinion they are entitled or is it just you?

So. you want to make a big deal out of one billion that you seem to think Trump is wasting but you chose to ignore the more than 180 billion that Biden pis*ed away on student loan forgiveness.  That one billion is a drop in the bucket compared to what Biden spent and that's not including the billions wasted on supporting criminal migrant gangbangers who gave nothing in return, other than murdering innocent Americans.  Your priorities are the reason the Democrats are described as a "cracked out clown car".

It will be a useful addition to the presidential library that will allow citizens to read the President's favourite books, like Postman Pat, Dr. Suess and The Gay Engineer that Could.

And hey, I don't hate Trump, how can anyone hate someone who is a sandwich short of a picnic, and shouldn't be in the job..........🤕

 

Just for you, folk with half a brain know these facts regarding YOUR hero...😬
