The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has been eager to acquire a new Air Force One since his first term. Recently, reports have emerged suggesting that he may have found a solution through a gift from the Royals of Qatar. The proposed gift is a Boeing 747 valued at $400 million.

This proposal has faced immediate and significant criticism on several fronts. Concerns have been raised regarding the legality and ethics of accepting such a gift from a foreign entity. Political implications are also being scrutinized as this situation unfolds.

Additionally, technical experts argue that the Boeing 747 does not meet the requirements necessary for serving as Air Force One. This raises questions about whether this aircraft can indeed serve as an effective replacement.
