So, the US government spent $400M to retrofit the new Air Force One but it’s not secure enough for the President to actually use it and it will be gifted to Trump when he leaves office. Why does it feel like Trump just screwed the tax payers out of $400M?

To summarize technical details

Bribe force one capability gaps:
- No mid air refueling
- No anti missile counter measures (eg chaff)
- Limited missile / aircraft detection capabilities
- limited communications capabilities

Like many Trump projects, the plane is mainly facade with little substance.

Consequently, the secret service does not want Trump using Bribe Force 1 internationally.

I love Bribe Force One, chefs kiss mon ami!

Trump subpoenaed NYT to find who leaked that the new AF 1 isn’t secure. Who thought that the 12 month retrofit of the Qatar airplane would be the same as the two Boeing is building for nearly $3B each. It’s just like every thing Trump does. He’s an expert at putting lipstick on a pig and then is Shocked! that people can still tell that it’s a pig.

If I was the next Democratic President, I'd just confiscate the thing. You and I aren't allowed to keep surveillance devices in active use by foreign countries. Why should Trump be allowed?

Everything is a grift with Trump. There is a decent chance though he might not be able to give it to himself though (as his democratic successor would stop that for sure)

Only the republiqan base would be dense enough to fall for Caitlyn’s antics and donate continuously to her campaign.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
