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.

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.

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.

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.”

I also recall that in early January 2020, Xi had warned him in a phone call that it would be a monster.

And to further 68's point, here's a timeline of Mr. It-Will-Magically-Disappear-By-Easter’s bullshit, leading up to that first precipitous drop in the market:

May 2018

The Trump Administration disbands the White House pandemic response team.

July 2019

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) epidemiologist embedded in China’s disease control agency left the post, and the Trump Administration eliminated the role.

Oct. 2019

“Currently, there are insufficient funding sources designated for the federal government to use in response to a severe influenza pandemic.”

Jan. 22, 2020

“We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

Jan. 24, 2020

Trump praises China’s handling of the coronavirus: “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”

Jan. 28, 2020

“This will be the biggest national security threat you face in your presidency...This is going to be the roughest thing you face." Trump’s National Security Advisor says to Trump.

Jan. 30, 2020

"The lack of immune protection or an existing cure or vaccine would leave Americans defenseless in the case of a full-blown coronavirus outbreak on US soil,...This lack of protection elevates the risk of the coronavirus evolving into a full-blown pandemic, imperiling the lives of millions of Americans.” [Memo from Trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro]

Feb. 2, 2020

“We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”

Feb. 7, 2020

“It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu... This is deadly stuff.” [Trump in a private interview with Bob Woodward from The Washington Post made public on Sept. 9, 2020]

Feb. 10, 2020

“I think the virus is going to be—it’s going to be fine.”

Feb. 10, 2020

“Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

Feb. 24, 2020

“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… the Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

Feb. 25, 2020

“CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”

Feb. 25, 2020

“I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”

Feb. 26, 2020

“The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

Feb. 26, 2020

“We're going very substantially down, not up.”

Feb. 26, 2020

“Well, we're testing everybody that we need to test. And we're finding very little problem. Very little problem.”

Feb. 26, 2020

"This is a flu. This is like a flu."

Feb. 27, 2020

“It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

Feb. 27, 2020

“The ineptness with which the Trump Administration approached this problem is not only serious, it can be deadly if not changed in the approach.” – Rep. Lloyd Doggett [During a hearing, Rep. Doggett questions HHS Sec. Azar on Trump's refusal to take this virus seriously, warning about mask and test shortages.]

Feb. 28, 2020

“We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”

March 2, 2020

“You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?” [Trump to health officials who answered "No."]

March 2, 2020

“A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”

“If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”

March 5, 2020

“I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”

March 5, 2020

“The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”

March 6, 2020

“I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”

March 6, 2020

“You have to be calm. It’ll go away.”

March 6, 2020

“Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”

March 6, 2020

“I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

March 6, 2020

“I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”

March 7, 2020

“No, I’m not concerned at all.

March 8, 2020

“We have a perfectly coordinated and fine-tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”

Dude....we're talking about a guy who blames ALL of post-pandemic supply chain-related inflation (ALL OF IT) on Biden, even though the US actually did BETTER, inflation-wise, than almost all of our peer nations.

Yeah. How we responded dictated how the world responded as well. Us throwing our hands up instead of coming up with solution as to how to keep the world going didn't help at all.

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+.

The other thing is that this is probably what Medicare will pay for that drug, not what you, I, or our insurance company will pay for that drug.

And Pharma is gonna sue the shit out of the Administration and this will not take effect, if at all, for years.

I miss the good old days when Trump was accusing Qatar of state sponsored terrorism at the highest levels.

 

Donald Trump has accused Qatar of sponsoring terrorism at the highest levels, in an extraordinary escalation of the diplomatic row with one America’s most important military partners in the Middle East.

Speaking in the White House rose garden on Friday, Trump said he had decided “the time had come to call on Qatar to end its funding … and its extremist ideology.”

His comments marked his most forthright intervention in a crisis triggered on Monday when Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies launched a co-ordinated diplomatic and economic campaign to isolate Qatar.
