Where's the dept of government efficiency when you need them?
Oh right, They're too busy defunding vital services, axing accountability positions, and collecting citizen's data.

Trump gets the jet to own personally (through the shell company of his Presidential Library) when he leaves office.
The fact that it would be incredibly expensive to retrofit means that it will never be retrofit and he will leave office with the jet exactly as it is.
By laundering the jet publicly, as through he's doing this as an official act, he can never be prosecuted for accepting what is obviously a blatant bribe.

I don't agree, we the tax payers will pay to have it retrofitted because he can't be prosecuted for any of that anyway. SCOTUS gave him a free pass for anything he does.
He doesn't want it retrofit. Air Force One is a flying command bunker which would be stripped of capabilities before it is donated to his library. As it is, it is a half a billion dollar luxury jet with all of the amenities that infinite money can buy.
It'll sit in storage with Trump stalling the retrofit (by, for example, saying the existing retrofits have to be done first) until he leaves office and then it'll be donated, as is, to his library.
This is a naked bribe done in full view of the public. The retrofitting story is a lie, a cover story to give the bribe the veneer of 'an official act' which, thanks to SCOTUS, gives him immunity for any criminal prosecution.
