So we’re gonna let a foreign government gift us Air Force one.
Where's the tarriffs?
Why not have Americans build a fancy new air force one?
Us?
Please leave me out of the nationalist "we", especially in the case of a gross plane that I will 1000% never ride.

Air Force One with spy tech and remote control 🙃
I can only see one point of Trump doing this deal.
Spite.
He is still pissed off that his new livery design won't be part of the VC-25Bs, and he will now have his own jet that will be managed outside of normal channels, just so he can get a few photo ops as the first president to fly a private 747-800, that will probably be painted in the livery that he approved.
Of all the people who got to be president he feels like the one who wanted it the least.
He hates Camp David for fuck’s sake.
Personally, I don't care on that front. If they remotely turn it off in the air, good. Trump's taking it with him when he leaves, and no other president is likely be stupid enough to trust it even if he didn't.
Now, the fact that it's probably just one giant listening device... I guess I'd be concerned about, but they're not likely to learn much from listening to Senile Saddam ramble nonsense while he gropes the flight attendants.
He live tweets every stupid "thought" he has in any case.
Diarrhea brain. It comes with senility.
How much do we see him after dark? I'll bet he has sundowners, too.
True. Trump or one of his cronies are gonna just blab it on Signal or live on TV.
Heck, knowing what we know about them maybe having a listening device giving their innermost insanities might provide enough noise to overwhelm the signal.
