Trump’s New Air Force One: Odd Detail in Background of Post Raises Eyebrows
Karoline Leavitt’s post on the gifted presidential plane drew ridicule after reporters said the books on display were fake.
- On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted photos inside the new Air Force One, a Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar, revealing shelves stocked with books labeled 'Library' that social media users quickly mocked as decorative.
- President Donald Trump used the retrofitted aircraft for his first official flight Wednesday, traveling to North Dakota for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library dedication after it arrived from Qatar last month.
- Journalists, including HuffPost White House correspondent S.V. Dáte, questioned the ethics of Trump accepting the $400 million jet from the Qatari government. Dáte wrote, "She misspelled '$400 million bribe solicited from Qatar.'"
- CBS News White House correspondent Jennifer Jacobs confirmed the books are decorative, while the Air Force stated it prioritized 'critical mission requirements over aesthetics' during the aircraft's modification.
- Boeing's delayed replacement program for the presidential fleet remains under development as scrutiny continues regarding the 747's origins, refurbishment costs, and its role as a temporary presidential aircraft.
