It is a mobile command center. The "gift" would require months, maybe years of work and millions in systems and upgrades to it to operate as Air Force One. Hell, just the weight increase would probably require a rebuild of the entire landing gear system.

Another bribe offered to stroke trump's vanity.

This shit is so tiring.

Trojan Horse (had special forces military inside). Plane more T Horse than W.E. because US could afford upkeep. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz 16 hrs ago #10

Hmmm...one might be more expensive with upkeep than the other but they're both budget busters Deuxcents 16 hrs ago #11

Def not helpful to the budget, not needed. Plus I'm pretty sure it would need lots of mods for command center Bernardo de La Paz 16 hrs ago #12
