No, wait, we don't have time for ALL of President Trump's stupidity - it's a database storage thing, you know -but the title may ring a bell.
We'll put our disclaimer first: No matter what is pretty sickening about this guy, President Trump-47 HAS been doing a good job on Job #1, fighting the Population Replacement Programme, and he's been speaking out for White people, even if only "in so many words". He's fighting the D.I.E. apparatus with whatever he's got, and, oh yeah, he may be the one (it's he or AI or both) to finally put the kibosh on "the greatest Con-job ever perpetrated in the history of the World."
Therefore, Peak Stupidity writes these posts not to say that we want Trump gone. We cannot have that right now. However, we feel obligated to discuss the downright sickening and stupid personality flaws of this guy. I mean, maybe it's hard to even imagine one at this juncture, but here's a good Conservative who's got a perfectly normal personality. These 2 of many stories come from my perusals of The Gateway Pundit some more - I read this first item and just saw the headline of the second item, along with seeing the usual GP tabloid running story.
That's from a short video proclamation showing the newest Air Force One, a Boeing 747-800 for temporary use until the fleet (3, I think?) of planes under contract are ready for service. The 2 747-400s, a very recent model at the time, were put into service in 1990. I can remember when the Reagan Administration ordered these in the 1980s, though they would not be ready for his use. (The Air Force One jets were still Boeing 707s, believe it or not, through that time.*)
Reagan was into formalities and some pomp and strange circumstances, so I can see why he felt it necessary to order the upgrade. That was a change from Jimmy Carter's ways - whether it was an act or not, I did appreciate that the man showed a lot of humility.
Donald Trump shows ANYTHING BUT humility. The pomposity of out of this guy is the personality flaw I see here. It'd be another thing to modestly talk about the newer safer equipment "required" or (at least back in the day) the need to appear equal in status to the Ruskies or what-not. No, Trump weirdly was "gifted", (such a deal!) from Qatar, and he's there bragging about it, showing off. It's so damn unseemly to me. This is just fodder for the domestic enemies who cry "No Kings!"
Immodesty like this rubs me the wrong way when it's from anyone, but from the President, this is sickening. It is so absolutely contrary to the ideals and personalities of the Founders. I think of George Washington and his refusal to stay in politics after his 2 terms (read the book at 8 years old). Trump would have ridden it until the country got plain sick of him. He is no George Washington.
That's the next item. The Gateway Pundit has employed its National Enquireresqe skills in milking this story of President Trump and Italy's Giorgia Meloni. I just read headlines, as I'm not a 14 y/o schoolgirl.
Apparently, Trump took a picture with Miss Meloni (came close but never been married) on a bench during some meetings/conference/what-have-you in Italy and then bragged later that she begged to be in a picture with him. Well, we've all got our iCrap nowadays, so it was not about the cost of film and flashbulbs. For Miss Meloni, it was probably important politically, as little as she's actually gotten done on the PRP. I don't think this was personal, but were it or not, Trump had to just note that she WANTED him. He was the Big Man.
"No", she said, "something, something, not like that...", but "Yeah," he said, and now he was getting mad at her contradicting his story. So, per GP in its words of hype, used for stories in which nothing actual happens, Trump "nuked her in a blistering response to her triggered rant..." He says they are no longer friends. OK, you two, come on - get a room already. Yeah, I know ... but, no, go ahead and bring Melania too. They like that kinda thing over in Italy. Film is cheap too, BTW. Peak Stupidity would be glad to have the scoop.
Taking world diplomacy so personally is an obvious personality flaw that is juvenile and also sickening to me. I know Trump is straight (hence the room and our suggestion of a 3-way), but is this not how "The First Woman President" might act? We may want to think about that for the future - no Noems, no Blondies, no Tulsis, maybe not even an MTG, and SURELY no Nancy Maces!
This is why I like to read articles about policy changes out of the Trump Administration, but I really, really, don't like to hear from the guy directly. Mister, we could use a man like Calvin Coolidge again ♫ ... though I'd settle for a Ron DeSanity.
* The first Presidential airline transport, not yet dubbed "Air Force One", was the Boeing 314 Flying Boat used to take President Roosevelt to Casablanca in 1943. Next a Douglas DC-4 was used by him to fly to Yalta in 1944. President Truman rode on this same plane and then the new DC-6 in 1947.
The call sign/appellation was given to the Lockheed Constellation first used by President Eisenhower. The AF-1 jet age started in the Summer of 1959, as Ike flew in the Boeing 707 to Germany and around Asia. (3 pf these were built in total.) These were in use right up through the 2nd year or so of the G.H.W. Bush Administration, this at a time when the 707s were long gone from the America's airlines' fleets.

PS: Oh, they are in a pavilion now, as in with a cover. That's new to me.
See:
https://www.museumofflight.org/exhibits-and-events/museum-galleries/aviation-pavilion
"The Museum’s unrivaled collection of large commercial aircraft can be seen in one place. The airliner line-up includes the world’s only presentation of the first Boeing 727, 737 and 747 jets, the first jet Air Force One, the extremely rare Boeing 247D and Douglas DC-2 airliners from the 1930s, the only Concorde on the West Coast and the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The military line-up includes three big bombers—World War Two’s B-17F Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress and the Cold War’s B-47 Stratojet; plus jet fighters spanning the wars from Korea to the Persian Gulf."
Man, I gotta go again some day. They've got the B-47, which I've never seen up close.

PS: OK, Alarmist, per,

... "SAM 970 is on loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force". That explains that, from Wright-Patterson. However, I went there long ago, probably over 20 years back - the one I saw was outside, across the street, jammed in with the old 727, 737, etc. (and Concorde since then). Which as the one I saw?

26000 is at the museum at Wright Patterson. The one in Seattle was something else. The AF had two other VC-137s, but they weren’t SAM.
HMX1 flew the Helos that would take POTUS to a rendezvous point.

PS: Oh, I went there, I should add. I guess those are the 2 then, Alarmist, right, one in Seattle and one at the Reagan library. Ha, about the jelly beans, it was Reagan who turned me on to gourmet jelly beans. I cut back a long time ago though.
M, they will fly the President in that Marine 1 (call sign) big helicopter to get to the airplane, so, if it's set up right, both of them ready to go, the guy could get from anywhere to far, far away, pretty quickly. I do wonder how much these planes weigh and, with that, how long a runway they really need to get out. (You could leave some of the non-essential people behind and would probably want to anyway, if the SHTF.)
You've got fewer seats, less baggage and freight (many of the airliners make more money on freight in the hold than at least the low-budget passengers in steerage, excuse me, coach, that is. OTOH, there is all that electronic equipment.
As for the passengers on Air Force One, I never liked the fact that a bunch of members of the press could go. Screw them. Their media outfits ought to buy their own tickets. There's too much conflict of interest there, IMO. It's like a King, his royalty, and then the sycophants.
As for the plane's capacity, those 747-400s are huge enough already. They're just getting the newest because a) Boeing is not producing the -400, only the -800. My beef was about the way Trump presents the whole thing. "Look at this! Look at that! My big beautiful plane - bigger than anyone else's!" (Besides a few Sheiks here and there, and they travel in even more luxury because no racks of electronic equipment and no damn press sycophants. How much does an average Harem weigh, I wonder ...)

PS: Thank you for the additional background, Alarmist. The military has their own designations for the A/C, but of course it's the same airframe.
I meant to put in the footnote that there is one of the 707s, with the usual sky blue and white livery outside across the road from the aviation museum at Boeing Field (KBFI) in Seattle. In case people aren't familiar, that is NOT where they build any planes (widebodies 30 miles north in Everett and narrow bodies a couple of miles SE in Renton). It's a busy airport, just about 5 miles south of downtown Seattle. Along with that 707 sit a 727, 737 I think a 747 SP (cause it's short and not much room) + one Concorde (not Boeing at all, but I guess people want to see that.

I suspect some of the impetus to move to the larger plane is that there's just more people that need to move with him.
And a lot of that has to do with security. Assassination plots are still a thing, and the weapons to do it with can be used from further away.
That being the case, you need to cover a larger area. Which needs more people. And many of them have to travel with him. Sure you can put them on other planes, but how many?
The other side of that would be how to get the President from wherever he is to the plane if he needs to be airborne in a hurry. Where can you park it?

The current AF-1 airframes, VC-25s, are variants of the 747-200, as were their older sisters, the E-B “Doomsday Aircraft” known in my day as NEACP, now known as NAOC. Back in Reagan’s days, the game plan was to get him or whoever survived as POTUS to a rendezvous point where the could get on the E-4B and fly around in relative safety while prosecuting the retaliation of WW3. The “new” VC-25s put a lot of the capability then in the E4Bs into the President’s daily ride, so NAOC became SecDefs daily ride.
The older models were VC-137s, indeed based on the 707. There were only two of this type in service as AF-1, SAM 26000 and SAM 27000. Reagan used 27000 for many of his travels, which is probably why it sits in his Presidential library. Yes, back in the day it did have jelly bean jars.

Somebody should start pasting Community Notes on these “land acknowledgments” telling us who the indian-claimants themselves took it from, as they often displaced an earlier tribe, often very violently.
There’s a museum in Savannah that has a B-47 on display. Here’s a list of it and others…
