It's a senseless waste of taxpayer resources. Using a foreign plane as Air Force One would also bring unimaginable national security risks. National security experts from one end of the country to the other agree no matter how many modifications are made or how much is spent or how intensely it's retrofitted, there will never be 100% confidence that the plane is secure. This is not a gamble anyone should be willing to take. It makes no practical sense for Donald Trump to accept this luxury gift when other alternatives in the works are less risky and less costly for taxpayers. (01:57–02:14)
