Taxpayers would likely foot the bill to retrofit President Trump's new jet, which could be more than twice the plane's $400 million value.

Jealous Donald Trump has moaned Air Force One is no longer “impressive enough”, wanting a free jet from Qatar to look as good as the royals. As controversy grew around the $402 million Boeing 747 offered by the Middle East country,

The nation of Qatar offered the Trump administration a Boeing 747-8 for use as Air Force One. Trump called the plane a "gift," in a post on his social media site, Truth Social. A representative of the administration clarified that Qatar "has offered to donate a plane to the Department of Defense," not to Trump himself.

President Donald Trump defended Qatar gifting the U.S. a jet to use as Air Force One as the new fleet is still under construction.

Saudi Arabia didn't even wait for U.S. President Donald Trump to land there before it set out to impress him in a sky-high way. As Trump flew in to Riyadh on Tuesday, he got a ceremonial escort from six Royal Saudi Air Force F-15s as his plane approached the kingdom's capital — an exceptionally rare sight.

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly devised a plan involving the US Air Force temporarily owning the jet before transferring it to Trump's presidential library foundation.
