@sbsnews_au: US President Donald Trump boarded a refurbished Boeing 747-8 plane gifted by Qatar that will serve as Air Force One, the plane designated to carry the president. The plane, introduced last month, carries a $400m price tag and will serve as an interim source of air transport until the a new fleet of Boeing presidential aircraft are ready in the next two years. The gift has proved controversial, with bipartisan criticism vocalising fears of conflicts of interest and constitutional and security implications. In May, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said he would obstruct all Trump administration justice department nominations until the White House provided answers on receiving the gift.

Air Force One was 35 and 36 years old and they parked it because it was old. How old is the president?

People are sleeping in their vehicles at a rate so high there isn’t any statistical data that can properly represent the number.

While this plane was gifted, the retro fitting and upgrading cost taxpayers a half billion dollars and he has also claimed that it is ‘his plane’ which he will take after he leaves office. Yet, in the meantime we are also paying for each of his trips
