President Donald Trump is being mocked online after boasting about his new $400 million Air Force One jet — which appears to be fitted with a wall containing dozens of fake books.

Trump and his entourage took flight Wednesday for the first time on the jet, which was gifted to the U.S. by Qatar. Across social media, members of the Trump administration showed off some of the plane’s plush finishes, including pillows branded with the presidential seal, a meeting table trimmed in white grain leather, and decorative touches including framed volumes and images of Washington landmarks on the walls.

Also featured on the luxe aircraft is a bookshelf full of fake books, including some simply labeled “Library,” which social media users were quick to spot in the background of photos shared by Trump officials.
