Contrary to the White House narrative, Qatar did not spontaneously decide to give their pal Trump a luxury jet.

President Donald Trump has said the luxury airliner will be retrofitted to serve as Air Force One during his presidency.

Trump has publicly expressed frustration with Boeing's yearslong delay in delivering two modified 747s for presidential use. The president has argued that by accepting Qatar's offer, he can bypass delays and save U.S. taxpayers money. Critics, however, fear that the acceptance would be unethical and even unconstitutional.
