Fascinating details emerging with the Qatari royal family giving Donald Trump the personal gift of a 747 fully bling. Yes, they give him an airplane.
When I heard this story for the first time a few days ago, it seemed at least that Trump had finally lost patience with Boeing because they could not or could not or could not quickly produce a new air force adorned to respond to Trump's wishes. The United States has been trying to buy a new AF1 for several years and it has caught up between the very different requirements of Trump and Biden and perhaps also Boeing misfortunes. I thought that the Qataris offered the plane to the US government or sold it. In both cases, it would be the American government and it is also for the use of future presidents. This is not what is happening.
It was released that the Qataris offered the inflated plane in the United States so that Trump was president, then, after his presidency, he would be given to the Trump's presidential library. As soon as I heard that, I was almost sure that it had become a bribes. But I thought that the public idea was at least that the plane would in some way hosted at the future Trump library. It is not as crazy as it may seem. The air force of the 80s is literally hosted at the Reagan library. In other words, it's like a museum piece.
But it turns out that they are very explicit on the part of the bridge pot. Time I just reported That because it belongs to the Trump's presidential library, it will always be his plane to fly. To quote the Times, “the plane would be given to the presidential library of President Trump when he would leave his duties, allowing him to continue to use it as a private citizen.” It is, to put it slightly, not the functioning of the presidential library system. And the Times is really misleading of people by suggesting that a thing follows in any way whatsoever.
I believe that libraries are structured as non -profit organizations with boards of directors, etc. They become small museums to the presidency and also become the official standards of presidential documents. But these remain under the control and custody of the national archives. Basically, you have what is in fact a museum, then the archives conclude a contract to store and protect official presidential files on the grounds.
The fact is that the library is not the official office of the former president. It does not belong to the president and he does not reserve, like his hotel reservations. Each president also obtains public funds to do exactly this, to have an official office, the official entity of which he makes his ex-president. They act as if the library was its office. But this is not the case. This is another thing if that is how Trump's library will work. But the relevant point here is that the plane remains for the personal use of Trump and his family, permanently. So this means that it has it, whatever the definition of paperwork they can find. It's a bridge pot. (Trump has literally been noted to have abused a charity. He therefore has a record for this.) They don't even try to hide it. And time makes everyone a little bad service by not clearly showing that this is not how the presidential libraries work.
