The aircraft would need to be torn down and rebuilt from the inside out — including overhauling electrical wiring, avionics and power systems — to install secure presidential communications, self-defense tech and electromagnetic shielding.
Exactly what I have been saying. It doesn’t have the same tech as the real AFO. It will probably cost the tax payers a few billion dollars to retrofit. The last planes cost in total around 4 billion and they had the tech installed at time of construction so it’s cheaper to install.
The AFO replacement was never meant to be taken seriously, it was just to make the bribery less obvious to his cult. It’s the classic seed of doubt that fascists like to spread, so their gullible supporters and enablers can calm themselves down before the cognitive dissonance that they actually just support/enable fascism sets in. All it was is a ruse, the aircraft was always meant to go to Trump’s “personal library after Jan 2029”.
Would it though? Would it really? Couldn’t we just let trump have it as it is and see what happened? It’s bound to be ok, isn’t it?
It’s already more secure than their Signal chat. I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Accept the plane, say thanks, then sell it.
