This should surprise approximately zero people (Trump included).Regarding Qatar Force One, this puts it pretty well into perspective of what it would take to make that plane be up to par with the current existing ones:

Short version being, the cost to completely strip down, inspect, then rebuild that 747 to include all the required systems (including but not limited to: armored body and windows, EMP hardening, anti-missile defenses, secure communications, on-board medical bay, and more that we aren't told about) would be more time consuming and expensive than Boeing just building a new one from the ground up, even with their already massively delayed and over-budget timetable.
In other words Trump just wants a shiny new toy to flaunt around in, and should probably think twice about using it to visit any part of the world where shoulder-mounted rockets are easily available.
Nobody except him (and Qatar and their friends) benefits from Trump flying around in a plane that may not fully pass security inspection
