That "free" Qatari jet that was gifted to Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile -- and which will become his to use as he pleases once he leaves office -- is gonna' need a fortune's worth of renovations.

And you get to pay for them.

Officially, and conveniently, the price tag has been classified. But even by Washington standards, where “black budgets” are often used as an excuse to avoid revealing the cost of outdated spy satellites and lavish end-of-year parties, the techniques being used to hide the cost of Mr. Trump’s pet project are inventive.

Which may explain why no one wants to discuss a mysterious, $934 million transfer of funds from one of the Pentagon’s most over-budget, out-of-control projects — the modernization of America’s aging, ground-based nuclear missiles.

In recent weeks, congressional budget sleuths have come to think that amount, slipped into an obscure Pentagon document sent to Capitol Hill as a “transfer” to an unnamed classified project, almost certainly includes the renovation of the new, gold-adorned Air Force One that Mr. Trump desperately wants in the air before his term is over.


So it's going to take nearly three years and nearly a billion of taxpayers' money to get, perhaps, a few weeks of official government service out of the Qatari bribe before it transfers over to the Trump Presidential Library for his own personal use and, umm, err, this isn't a headline-shouting scandal?
