Wow who could have guessed this story from @jonkarl is a lie?

Here's the actual story of Trump renovating a plane that Qatar once owned, because Boeing has failed to deliver a new air force one https://x.com/ComfortablySmug/status/1921590297940701539

A Xitter link that goes to the DailyMail as its source. By chance have any more reputable links to explain your side?

Edit: not only are the sources dubious, but they don't even refute the main controversy, which is that Qatar is giving the plane to the US/Trump Foundation for free.

>Trump would then use the 13-year-old plane as the new Air Force One until shortly before the conclusion of his second Oval Office stint, at which point it would be transferred to his presidential library foundation no later than 1 January 2029.
