WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump unveiled his brand new Air Force One on Friday afternoon, a gift that the United States government accepted from the Qatari government in 2025. “The biggest difference is the difference in size,” Trump shared as he spoke on Friday, flanked by his new jet, ahead of his trip to Camp ...
President Donald Trump restated his claim that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni “begged” to take a picture with him at the G7 Summit in France this week. Trump’s once-friendly relationship with Meloni has been strained since Italy refused to back the U.S. plan to impose a military blockade on the Strait of Hormuz during the […]
Less than three months ago, Donald Trump was mocking the 2015 deal Barack Obama made with Iran that cleared the regime’s path to a nuclear bomb.
It's a "precarious day for our country," MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said in her opening of "Deadline: White House" — because President Donald Trump got his chosen partisan loyalist in charge of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence."Donald Trump's personal political attack dog, Bill Pulte, officially assum[es] the role of acting Director of National Intelligence today," said Wallace. "It's a job for which Pulte has zero qualifications except for his unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump."And already there are huge red flags showing, she noted, as Pulte — whom experts already warned was likely to try to use the office to interfere in the midterm elections on Trump's behalf — is planning a top-to-bottom housecleaning to install people who will help him do it."Pulte showed up at his new job a day early on Thursday after asking for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them," said Wallace, relying on new CNN reports. Specifically, he "is eyeing to cut hundreds of jobs ... and his appearance at the headquarters "caught staff off guard, including the outgoing director, Tulsi Gabbard, who was given a brief heads up on the visit," since Trump had previously said Friday would be his first day.So far, Wallace said, Pulte's experience "includes serving as the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, where he drummed up mortgage fraud cases against Trump's perceived enemies." Meanwhile, even Republican lawmakers were so outraged over the appointment that Trump had to nominate federal prosecutor Jay Clayton for the permanent role instead. However, Trump delayed the hearing last minute to ensure Pulte would get at least some time in charge.Trump, after all, has proven himself "if nothing else erratic," Wallace noted. And now Pulte is free to pursue his "plans to purge the office." - YouTube youtu.be
Reporters received exclusive tours of the new Air Force One, a former Qatari jet reported to have "gold plating throughout" to match the design requests of President Donald Trump.The tours offered the public their first look inside the plane.The aircraft, designated the VC-25B Bridge, arrived Friday at Joint Base Andrews after a $400 million military overhaul that added secure communications and anti-missile defenses to the Boeing 747-8 once owned by the Qatari royal family.The U.S. Air Force kept the interior largely intact."This feels more like a house than a plane," Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese wrote on X.She counted solid wood tables, lounge couches, photos of the National Mall in the conference room, and a presidential seal on every seatbelt buckle. The press cabin is two to three times the size of the old plane's.Center Square Washington bureau chief Sarah Roderick-Fitch saw white leather, wooden paneling, cream carpet, and silver accents. The decor was "simple, but elegant," she wrote.GB News Chief U.S. Correspondent Ben Leo called it "INSANE."Trump's office and meeting rooms, he said, were "better than five star hotels." He counted 24 press seats reclining fully flat and four Rolls-Royce engines."This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody has ever seen before," Trump said as "God Bless the USA" played."Nobody tops this one," Trump said of landing at foreign airports, "and that's the way we have to have it for our country."The New York Times reported Trump's personal plane has "gold plating throughout, including on the seatbelt buckles," and that he wanted "gold trim" on the new jet.The Qatari interior, by French firm Alberto Pinto Cabinet, featured gold-colored walls and gold furnishings. The Air Force said the layout was kept "minimally changed."Qatar gifted the 747-8 amid ethics objections. Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, called it a "brazen" violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. Trump dismissed the criticism as "stupid."The plane will complete commissioning flights before entering presidential service. Trump has promised it will lead a flyover of Washington on July 4.
President Donald Trump seemed mildly taken aback when a pair of Air Force officers got a bigger round of applause than he did, while speaking about the unveiling of the new Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews on Friday."That's pretty good. That's the best hand. You got a bigger hand than I did," said Trump. "That's the end of your job. I don't like that. I'm not happy about it."Trump then seemed to find himself again. "Nah, these are great pilots. These are great, very talented people."The president's new plane was a gift from the government of Qatar, which has made it controversial from the start as observers believe it was intended to curry favor with the U.S. government and shape American foreign policy.Previous reporting indicated that the interior of the plane will be far more luxurious than prior aircraft used to transport the president — and have limitations compared to previous aircraft, including an inability to fly so-called "Golden Eagle" missions carrying the remains of former presidents.
The luxury Boeing 747, initially valued at $400 million, arrived ahead of schedule on Friday. The jet caused controversy as one of the biggest foreign gifts ever received by the U.S. government.
