Donald Trump To Receive $400M Boeing 747-8 Jumbo Jet From Qatar As Air Force One Replacement

Have you ever had a dream of Donald Trump replacing Harrison Ford in Air Force One and telling Terrorists to get off his plane?

In a move that’s already sparking ethical and legal debate, the Trump administration is preparing to accept an opulent Boeing 747-8 jet—nicknamed a "flying palace"—as a gift from the royal family of Qatar. Sources close to the matter told ABC News that the aircraft will temporarily serve as Air Force One before being transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

Valued at an estimated $400 million, the 13-year-old luxury jet features ultra-premium interiors and will be updated to meet U.S. military and security standards. The announcement is expected during President Trump’s upcoming visit to Qatar, marking his first foreign trip in his second term.

The plan includes handing the jet over to the U.S. Air Force initially, with a legal transfer to Trump’s library scheduled by January 1, 2029. The U.S. government will fund all transfer and upgrade costs. The Department of Justice and White House legal teams have reportedly deemed the arrangement lawful, asserting it doesn't violate the Constitution’s emoluments clause since the gift is to the government, not Trump personally.

However, the unprecedented nature of the gift raises concerns over propriety and international influence. Critics are likely to scrutinize the optics of such a lavish offering, especially from a foreign government.

Despite the controversy, sources insist legal counsel, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, cleared the arrangement. The White House and Qatari Embassy have not commented.

With aging Air Force One aircrafts facing delays in replacement, Trump has pushed for a modernized presidential jet—this gift may offer a shortcut.
