3. This makes little sense if you consider it takes a year or so to upgrade

That means Trump uses the existing planes for a year of the two years until the new plane is ready. The mention of leasing is sillier because we would be paying to upgrade all the needed security features ... which I assume contain a lot of highly classified systems. This means we can't return it without paying to take all of that out!

If DOGE was looking for waste and knew of this, they really weren't looking for waste!
