but is there actually a problem with the current two planes?

I honestly don't know, 34 years sounds old, but given that there are two and the total mileage accumulated by the average POTUS can't be anywhere near what a commercial jumbo jet accumulates, I would think they're fine.  They're just not brand new and gifted from someone stroking Trump's ego for favors in return.

I would assume that Trump will never walk onto the two new planes. He will prioritize the retrofit of his new 747. The next President will most likely have to use the old 747s while Boeing goes back to working on the new ones. It's getting complicated that there are five 747s in the mix now: 2 current, 2 in build status and the Qatari one.

It's extremely unlikely that the Qatari plane ever becomes a true AF1...like @956 Worldwide said there is basically no way to thoroughly debug that plane. The new planes, should they actually be delivered when Boeing says they will, he will use.

How fat must that guy be for this 285-er to call him fat with a straight face?

I also like how it was a personal phone call that alerted Trump to the fact that prescription drugs are expensive here.  That is how fucking checked out this guy is on every issue.

Yeah, I mean, everyone hates Big Pharma and their price-gouging, so this is actually something that will have universal appeal.  And of course that's why he's doing it now as his approval rating is shitting on itself.

But this will make 100% of Republicans hypocrites when they back him on this.  This is the opposite of small federal government and a free market.

Yet something tells me they'll have no problem contradicting everything they've ever said before now.  Dance, you profiteering little puppets.

Yes. Not to mention that his Exec Order does not lower the price of any drug by one penny. Some drugs may be required to at least match what other countries' single payers are paying for those drugs. I can already think of scenarios that prevent lowering the price for Americans.

1. Raise the prices of the drugs to other countries to the same level as the US.

2. Remove the drugs to Medicare and Medicaid recipients

3. Change the formulation or dosage for Americans. Let's say Brits today pay $0.10 for a 5mg pill and Americans pay $1.00.  Change it so Brits pay $0.10 for a 4.999mg pill and Americans pay $1.00 for a 5mg version.

And to combine the two recent topics here, this pharmacy exec order is only to distract the 747 gift. Senior citizens, you may get a slight discount and Trump gets $400m+.

Hard to make a moron look more foolish than nature has provided, but...Donald, a thoughtful man, sits to ponder a question of the ages.

image.png.3cc4a2a04fad8da09adbd523ad946173.png

He writes:

image.png.f9cb2cd72ab1b963f12a4df36a351aa7.png

 

He selects just the correct and subtle means of emphasis:

image.png.f98942f6f3283edc750910e544596470.png

Always the intellectual, Donald finds a new use of the question mark. Grouped in three, they signify exclamation and coming philosophical inquiry. To wit:

image.png.cd470317a8c756466e9228cae6c94f58.png

So states Donald who never explains anything preferring lies, has no sense of shame so is never embarrassed, and gives no more consideration to correctness or right than a tapeworm.

Next, Donald takes his shot at explanation.

image.png.a7947a5998fa280f92af2c4abd13a102.png

He lies.

Ever the subtle man, well, let's let him describe himself, "not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!"...

image.png.0e37f5c78b1daf7902eaa3b56b1b455a.png

...Donald's valediction is layered as is the onion. It sounds like a dunning letter:

Trump will only step onto a plane that he wants. He can order the military and secret service to use the Qatari plane for him.

And I agree that the Qatari 747 will never meet the standards of the "AF1" models. That doesn't matter.

I really hope the fucking thing breaks apart in flight the first time his fat, orange ass flys in it. 

I don't think I could live in a country where Donald Trump gets to be a fucking martyr. I'd think I'd honestly prefer that he destroys the economy and almost the entire country, so his legacy resembles the loser that he is than having my kids live their entire lives hearing about this great man who died too soon (and, some would say, suspiciously).

But, in this timeline, we'll get the worst possible outcome. He'll destroy the country, live to 110, AND somehow have commemorative statues in over half the states.

I think the legacy you describe is safe among all persons who can define legacy without referring to a video game.

So, I am supposed to believe:

 

EVIL! - Negotiating with drug companies to bring down Rx prices, as many other countries already do, for Medicare and Medicaid.  SOCIALISM!

BRILLIANT! - Mandating a price for Rx that companies can charge.

 

It just makes my head hurt.  Thank God TFG is lowering drug prices with the stroke of a pen Sharpie!

No problem flying an airframe for that long, look at the B-52s that are still in inventory and will remain for a couple decades. Good maintenance and replacing engines does a lot.  It’s a lot of the stuff inside that is now more expensive and painful to keep going, and the 747-200 has been discontinued for years so it’s harder to find standard replacement parts for the standard 747 stuff. 
 

Side note, getting a look at a B-52 is inside is an incredible look at an analog airplane. All the stuff that makes it work is just there to see and touch.

Only to a complete idiot.

Look, Biden is four years older and therefore his decline is more advanced.  Four years ago, Biden was much smarter than Trump is right now. 

Thinking Trump is a genius compared to Biden is like saying Danny DeVito is taller than Yao Ming once Yao gets too old to stand up anymore.  It doesn't change the fact that Danny DeVito is a midget and Donald Trump is a mental midget.

He knows he is catering to people who are intentionally lazy with regard to information, and therefore dumb. 

Look at what he wrote... (paraphrasing) 

"The defense department is getting a gift airplane for free. Democrats would rather pay top dollar for it. How stupid is that?" 

Easy message. 

"They're eating the pets." = "Savages" 

Easy message. 

"We are going to pay less for drugs and Mexico is gonna pay for it."

Easy message. 

This is the thing he's done his whole life. He's pretty fn genius with word delivery. It's probably just a natural trait that manifests as talent, but that's what genius is. 

Underestimating the effects of his word salads is what got us here. 

I can't believe I just read someone call dotard "a genius with word delivery."

So his Executive Order on pharma pricing is essentially a Sternly Worded Letter to Big Pharma.

Don't forget that his own fucking party has regularly voted against anything regulating or dropping drug prices. I can't wait for the fucking absolute shitstain Republicans continue to be hypocrites and their base to continue to be absolute fucking idiots.

Qatar gave a plane to Erdogan too.

https://www.semafor.com/article/05/11/2025/inside-the-qatari-luxury-jet-on-offer-to-president-donald-trump

Quote

This is the second time a leader of a NATO member nation has faced domestic criticism over a Qatari aircraft gift.

In 2018, Qatar gifted a “luxury” 747 to Turkey, Reuters reported at the time, drawing questions from opposition lawmakers. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan insisted that the gift would be “the plane of the Republic of Turkey, not my plane.” In Trump’s case, the plane will reportedly travel with him after he leaves office as a gift to his presidential library.

The gift is part of a vast investment by gas-rich Qatar, which hosts a US military base and has mediated talks with Hamas and the Taliban — playing a geopolitical role larger than its modest size. The country gives widely to governments and causes around the world, as well as financing the global television network Al Jazeera.

Qatar is offering to donate a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to the Defense Department, the White House official confirmed to Semafor, though the gift will not be presented or accepted during Trump’s trip this week. A Qatari official told Politico that while “the possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently under consideration,” the matter is still “under review.”

Well, there will be some sort of pimpadelic gold-plated monument thing called a library and filled with Trumpian gimcracks and bullshit.  NFTs, memecoins, trading cards, sneakers, guitars, etc.
