Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The aircraft normally used by the President and other high officials are more than some luxury vehicle. So is this coming with all the features of the existing 747s used, and will it be disassembled before use to make sure it's not bugged?
Also, quid pro quo and all that. What's the catch?
Well, for one thing, it's going to be bugged to fucking shit. Second, Qatar gets boasting rights. Third, trump is the most transactional, selfish cunt ever to have lived, I guarantee you he'll do Qatar favors that include some kind of oil deal bullshit.
Trump is the bug. It could be squeaky clean because they just need to ask him for hot goss and he’ll dish like a lunch lady.
He doesn't attend daily briefings, why would he care about the operational capabilities of his kingly litter?
He doesn't, but the SS does
They haven't seemed overly concerned with the security of checks notes the Trump hotels they've been made to not only stay in but pay for using taxpayer money.
Trump broadcasts every semi-coherent thought via the Ministry of Truth Social, he is focused on bigly things and can't be bothered to worry about teeny tiny bugs.
Yes, read the article.
Actually it's no, then yes, and then... not illegal or stated conditionals, but come on. Every political action has some significance of benefit, even if they state "we just like you, bro".
The catch is that he is likely not going to do that and that it is bugged, and he thinks he gets to keep it after he leaves office.
If it's donated to his presidential library he essentially does keep it.
