Secret service (or is it the air force?) would never let him fly on it, right? It doesn't have the safety features.
I read they were going to have to tear it all the way down and basically rebuild it from scratch anyway just to have all the stuff he's too stupid to know about that AF1 needs to have.
He thinks it's got a toilet and a microwave it must be good to go. But hey, who can tell - maybe they fired all the people who know a damned thing and they'll just let him prance around on this monstrosity hoping it goes tits up over a great lake.
Yeah, it would have to be stripped down to the ribs not just to add all the comms, security, defense, and other systems, but also to assure there weren't any security vulnerabilities hiding somewhere. Hell, coming from a hostile foreign nation, I'd be suspicious of the flight management system and the "fasten seatbelts" lights!
