President Trump has ordered himself a ritzy private plane after giving up hope that Boeing could hand over a revamped Air Force One.
The commander in chief is getting an L3Harris jet decked out with suites, plush carpeting, leather couches and more that was once owned by the Qatari government, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The interior of the opulent plane was done by famed French interior design firm Alberto Pinto Cabinet — and boasts gold-colored walls and gold furnishings, reminiscent of Trump’s opulent home in Trump Tower.
L3Harris is working to transform the lavish plane into one with unspecified systems fit for a presidential jet.
The plane — which once listed for $400 million — will serve as an interim jet while Trump waits on Boeing to complete work on the existing, but aging, presidential fleet.
Trump wants to have the plane in his possession by early fall and has been regularly checking in with the company for updates, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
