President Trump, with a smile, decided to commission a new civilian jet after Boeing allegedly fell short on delivering the upgraded Air Force One.
He’s had his L3 Harris jet outfitted with suites, plush carpets, leather sofas, and more. The interior design is by the renowned French firm Alberto Pinto Cabinet and includes gold walls and gold furnishings.
Reports have surfaced that Trump visited the contractors after expressing that Boeing wouldn’t have the chance to update the presidential fleet until after his term ended.
The current fleet, in use since the George H.W. Bush presidency, is in dire need of upkeep. However, Boeing seems to be falling behind in this $3.9 billion project, with a projected completion date set for 2035.
