Trump’s Qatar-Gifted Air Force One | Durham News

Trump’s first ride on his newly gifted Qatar-built Air Force One is a flashy statement of power — a $400 million Boeing 747 painted in his signature navy, red, and gold, loaded with luxury interiors and presidential flair. While ethics questions linger, Trump calls it a well-deserved upgrade from aging planes, praising Qatar’s diplomatic ties. The jet’s temporary status is clear: Boeing’s official replacement planes are due in 2028, and this one may eventually find a home in a presidential library. The Air Force says security upgrades alone cost less than the plane’s price tag — but the real cost? Pure political theater.
