Trump takes first trip on Qatari-gifted Air Force One

President Donald Trump made his first trip aboard the newly gifted Boeing 747-8 Air Force One, provided by Qatar, during a visit to North Dakota. The $400 million aircraft replaces the aging 747-2 that had been in service for over three decades. Trump praised the plane as 'maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built,' emphasizing its advanced features and security measures. While acknowledging the cost to taxpayers, he argued the expense was minimal compared to alternative options. The Air Force stated that operational readiness took priority over aesthetic changes, though the plane includes luxurious amenities such as lie-flat seats with massage functions and individual TVs.
