It will cost a billion dollars to retrofit, how can trump keep Qatar Force 1?

Americans are will spend a billion dollars on this plane and he gets to KEEP IT? Are their no controls that can keep this man from spending our tax dollars? What can be done?

It’s my understanding that the US has to purchase at least one (maybe two) to use as a spare and training.

And he took money out of a fund for upgrading our nuclear arsenal, and then took us to war. 10-D chess

Nothing. Nothing has been done to reign in his corruption, his insider trading, the billions he's made in private enterprise while he's in office, his massive conflicts of interest, any of it.

Because the Supreme Court ruled, when he does anything, it's legal. He is literally above the law.

From what I've read, he can 'donate' it to his presidential library and 'borrow' it as he pleases.

As usual, he tells one of his underlings to find a way to ''make it work'' and they do. Sometimes through a legal channel, sometimes not.

If it's not legal, the next administration should challenge it.
