First Air Force 1 is a call sign in name only for any aircraft the President of the United States is on. So if he rides in it then technically yes it becomes Air Force 1. But a Piper Cub, if his Fat Ass could fit, would also take on the call sign of Air Force 1.

Second, the actual 747's we officially use today (there are actually 2 I believe) are outfitted with advanced technical avionics, defense and evasion systems, top secret communications systems and the ability to mid-air refuel at a minimum. It would take 2 years to retrofit that fucking stupid plane to those specs if possible at all.

This in all actuality would be the worlds most expensive golf cart on taxpayer dollars.

He doesn't get the daily briefings. He doesn't care about running the country. He just wants to grift and put on a show to boost his ego.

And I suspect most of his orders come from Putin, so who's to care if his comms are secure?
