The original Air Force One is a military plane from the 1990s and has the features the Qatari-gifted jet lacks. He then switched to the new jet, a Boeing 747-8.<\/p>\n<p>The president had publicly claimed that he was using the old jet so that U.S. troops in England could \u201ctour\u201d the new one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis plane was built for aesthetics, not mission,\u201d one former national security official told MS NOW, adding, \u201cWe know about its paint, its leather seats. But we don\u2019t know its capabilities.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The $400 million gifted aircraft boasts three lounges, two bedrooms, nine bathrooms, five galleys, a private office, and enough business class seating to accommodate dozens of guests.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3191\">Trump Goons Cornered on Tacky Arch\u2019s Nazi Inspiration<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Leonnig revealed on Thursday that the president was \u201cembarrassed\u201d by having to switch planes, telling Katy Tur, \u201cThe Secret Service source who I spoke to last night said, this is dancing on the head of a pin in a way, because the Service wants Donald Trump to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey do not want to embarrass him, but they do not want him to be in danger, which is a worse sort of fate for them, if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Secret Service knows, top, top officials in the Secret Service know, according to my source, that the president is embarrassed by the idea of having to switch out this plane, which is part of the reason he apparently sort of made up a story about showing it off to troops in the U.K., and they are trying to placate a person who has insisted this plane is perfect and they are trying to, you know, no, sorry to put finer words on this, but they\u2019re trying to save his life and save the stability of the democracy at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House was quick to shut down Leonnig\u2019s reporting, with White House Communications Director lashing out on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarol Leonnig is a liar and this article is complete Fake News. She has no idea what she is talking about,\u201d he wrote. \u201cCarol is not a real journalist. A complete fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When contacted for comment by the Daily Beast, Steven Cheung said, \u201cThe new Air Force One is a state-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the President and his staff. As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal\u2014 including distraction and misdirection\u2014 to address those threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Air Force has previously said of the plane, \u201cThe aircraft is safe, secure and equipped with the most advanced technologies necessary to meet the requirements of the presidential mission. Those requirements were carefully crafted to prioritize mission over aesthetics, leaving much of the previous head of state interior layout minimally changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo risk was taken in security, safety or mission communications, but the collective team made trades on some of the less commonly used mission sets that Boeing must deliver to support the next 40 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3189\">How Vance\u2019s Humiliating Speech Proves He\u2019s A Total Fraud<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>MS NOW told The Daily Beast that the network stands by its reporting. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump was reportedly left feeling embarrassed after having to change planes on his way home from the NATO Summit in Turkey.
