And the Qatari royal family has been unsuccessfully trying to sell it for five years.

CoPilot estimates reopening Alcatraz as a prison will cost around $150 Million and will have 300 inmates. That means each inmate will cost the taxpayer $500,000 per year. That seems expensive to me.

A reminder: The reason so many firms on their websites constantly urge you to install and use their apps instead of their websites is that the apps typically give them access to VASTLY more data about you and your activities. Don't fall for it.

@georgetakei He'd better let his mechanic take a look at it first

Shadedlady May 15

@albnelson @georgetakei no please, let the thing crash with trump, musk, vance and the whole corrupt bunch in it

mcSlibinas May 15

@Shadedlady @albnelson @georgetakei last hope 🤞🤞

ghostdancer May 15

@albnelson And the security service, no doubt the plane is wired. @georgetakei

David Collantes May 15

@georgetakei he is being given leftovers. So puny, weak, disgraceful. Sad.

Francisca Sinn May 15

@david @georgetakei This may be the only argument that gets through. All the parades in the world won’t make people forget he’s flying around in leftovers, a handmedown. The military parade looks like even more of a joke.

Give him a brand new F-35.

In reality it matches Donald
Lotta hours on engines
Short endurance
Rusty spots
Airframe issues
Outdated electronics.
Yep
Perfect match for that loser !

Jim Sullivan May 15

@georgetakei In fairness, "embarrassing, weak, and unAmerican" descibes the orange shit stain perfectly. Seems like the perfect mode of transport for the trumpafia.

@georgetakei
It'd be pretty poetic justice if he dies in a crash because of a combination of taking bribes and destroying air safety for everyone.

And then the Qataris are out $400 million and their puppet.

Hey, dreams like that keep us going.

@georgetakei Even if it were brand new, this should be a no-brainer.

I suppose about now all 747s are used, or at least no longer new, Boeing stopped making them did they not.

An Airbus 380 would the biggest royalest plane anyone could have, 4 engines and all.

@midgephoto @georgetakei

Indeed, last 747 rolled off the assembly line in 2023.

Final Boeing 747 Airplane Leaves Everett Factory

- The final 747-8 Freighter will be delivered to Atlas Air in early 2023 - Iconic plane transformed global travel after entering service in 1970 The last Boeing (NYSE: BA) 747 left the company's widebody factory in advance of its delivery to Atlas Air in early 2023. "For more than half a century, tens of thousands of dedicated Boeing employees have designed and built this magnificent airplane that has truly changed the world. We are proud that this plane will continue to fly across the globe for years to come," said Kim Smith, Boeing Vice President and general manager, 747 and 767 Programs. The 747 has played a key role in Boeing's history of aerospace leadership. Production of the 747, the world's first twin-aisle airplane, began in 1967 and spanned 54 years, during which a total of 1,574 airplanes were built. At 250 ft 2 in (76.2 m), the 747-8 is the longest commercial aircraft in service. At typical cruising speeds, the 747-8 travels roughly the length of three FIFA soccer

The happiest days of a boat-owner’s life are the day they buy the boat and the day they sell it.

It's a tax write-off for the Qatari - kind of like 1-800-Kars4Kids only for idiots.

What does the US Constitution say?

One provision states that Congress must approve any gift from a “King, Prince, or foreign State” to an elected US official. The other prohibits the president from receiving a gift beyond salary for the job.

Congress has approved gifts from foreign governments in the past, including in 1877, when accepting the Statue of Liberty from France.

M.S. Bellows, Jr.May 15

@georgetakei The whole point is that in three years it will become Trump's PRIVATE plane (via his "library"). It's not really intended to serve as an AF1.

AI6YR Ben May 15

@msbellows @georgetakei Yep

Nicole Parsons May 15

That's a great image, Trump flying around in a Value Village donation from the Qataris.

@georgetakei Folks we're bankrupt, and not just morally. Trumpachev is helping us all to know our time is over, we must go back to meager means. Hopefully the last American will soon realize this and stop pretending we still have things we don't. In stead of gun, sex and drugs, we should be following China's example and surround our kids with robots, family walks in the park, AI, sciences and things to help their brains grow.

@georgetakei
So....
This gift is them unloading property they can't get rid of?
How.... classy....

Candace Robb May 15

@georgetakei 🙃

Anthony Stevens May 15

@georgetakei And it will cost a billion to convert it to a safe presidential aircraft. I've heard since it cannot be legally gifted to the White House, it will be given to Trump's Presidential Library foundation. Which means, when he leaves office, it will not be US Gov property, but his. It's both a waste of money and a bribe.

Toni Aittoniemi May 15

@georgetakei I think they’re actually trying to show off to Putin, that they TOO can fuck with this monumentally stupid man. 🤔

Christian Klüber-Demir 🏈May 15

@georgetakei
A friend of mine has this old Ford Kuga that's regularly acting up... - might Trump be insterested in that, too? Just asking...

Display Name May 15

@georgetakei they are not giving it to us. They are giving it to him, to keep after his time in office too. It will be renovated with taxpayer money until then. So it's a great deal for him.

The 🍊💩 will go ballistic when he sees this. He cannot stand being called WEAK.

@georgetakei the plane is expensive to fly and maintain, a white elephant!

Colette Libertine May 15

Second rate, second hand...

@georgetakei So, it's actually a "white elephant" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant

Matthew Little May 15

@georgetakei Then someone should tell Mr. Lieu to start getting onto Boeing's ass for dragging their feet on the replacement AF1 aircraft. #MisplacedPriorities

Only a clown like Trump would take it…

@georgetakei so a nice deduction on the tax-forms this year?
