"I will gift my plane not to the next president but to...my library. So the librarian can fly it or something."
>_>
I don't see evidence that anyone is intending to fly it. Several presidents have their vehicles displayed in their presidential library, such as Ronald Regan's library:

- The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum is located in Simi Valley, California—about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles—and holds over 60 million pages of documents, 1.6 million photographs, hundreds of thousands of feet of audiovisual material, and 40,000 artifacts.
In the Air Force One Pavilion, you can tour Air Force One (tail number 27000). This airplane carried Presidents Nixon, Carter, Ford, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush all over the world and the United States. This “Flying White House” was integral to Reagan’s presidency: he wrote many speeches, signed legislation, and relaxed while traveling in Air Force One.
You can also visit an exhibit on Presidential motorcades. Vehicles include one of Reagan’s presidential limousines, Secret Service suburbans, and a Marine One helicopter that flew President Johnson.
Considering that the US Taxpayers are not even paying for this plane, the library can more easily justify making the plane a tourist exhibit of Trump's presidency. Since this is a gift to the Trump Presidency which will be used for his presidency, it should logically be immortalized as Trump's flying palace and admired by the world.
If you thought that the goal was simply to give it to Trump as another plane, you were looking too low and thinking too small. Its existence as a opulent Trump exhibit is a far grander vision and is obviously the gameplan with this plane.
