BREAKING🚨 Trump just admitted the $400 million luxury jet Qatar gave him isn't safe enough to be Air Force One. He says it'll be "maxed out" in about a month. He's been flying it anyway.

 

Stepping off the plane after the World Cup final in New Jersey, a reporter pointed at the fuselage and asked him straight: this plane has no antimissile defense systems, why are you flying it?

Trump's answer: "It has a lot of capability but, as I understand it, in about a month or so they're going to send it to have it be maxed out." He couldn't say what "maxed out" means. The White House wouldn't explain it either.

The older presidential 747s were built from the airframe up as a flying command post — infrared emitters, chaff and flare launchers, missile-launch sensors, wiring hardened against a nuclear electromagnetic pulse. All of it visible on the old planes. All of it missing from the Qatari one.

This is the plane Trump asked the Qatari royal family to give him within months of taking office. The one he says he wants to keep for his presidential library. The 14-year-old jet was rushed through a retrofit so fast that experts warned it couldn't be made safe in time.

We know how dangerous the gaps are because reporters found out. On July 8, departing Turkey amid resumed US-Iran strikes, Trump quietly switched to an older plane on the way out of Turkey. The Secret Service had advised it. The New York Times reported the new jet lacked antimissile defenses.

About 48 hours after that story ran, FBI agents showed up at reporters' homes to hand-deliver grand jury subpoenas. Four journalists. The paper's top lawyer said it should "shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution." White House officials were ordered to hand over their phones.
