The faster you charge a battery the higher the wear on the electronics and battery material in general, as well as reduced efficiency of the charge (i.e. more energy goes to heat vs battery charge). So there's a big tradeoff. That said, I'm curious what material they are using for the battery...

I'm probably paranoid here, but I've been worried they will eventually close borders to Americans trying to leave the country, I hope this isn't step 1 in building up to that.

ICE is Trump's gestapo.

Sorry, but they better fully strip that jet to the frame and rebuild it if it's going to be used as AirForce 1. There's no way we should trust a foreign country to gift us a jet to be used as is for that position. Imagine the chances to put tracking, recording, etc equipment in it. The comms...
