You aren’t the POTUS, you & you’re family are just conmen who figured out that this is the most lucrative grift you could ever hope to find, & you’re exploiting it for every last penny.
I can only imagine the measured, calm response MAGA would have if Biden did something like this.
This would be a classic example of what not to do in any required basic corporate or government ethics course. This answer is so easy that 100% of trainees would get this answer correct. Corruption to the core.
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
One more country without an extradition agreement with the US where Trump & cronies can escape justice for crimes committed during his current term. Trump's pals will pay him rent for luxe living in his "safe house" resorts beyond the reach of US courts.
Air Force One SHOULD require extraordinary maintenance. So what?
Any plane "donated" by a foreign nation would still require a major overhaul to, in the first place, clean it of any surveillance devices, and then to appropriately outfit it with everything an Air Force One requires.
Maybe he doesn't want the special comms & security systems, which if he doesn't, shows wanton disregard for the safety of his pilots & passengers. But then Donald doesn't ever regard anyone but himself, so there's that.
Obviously corrupt but what I don’t hear people talking about is the safety. How can the secret service clear a plane from a foreign government to be used as Air Force one? How do you clear that without completely tearing the entire plane down to check for devices?
Maybe Putin can build him a new Whitehouse. The effort it would take to dismantle it to check for spy equipment is unreasonable. You would have a pile if parts
To Trump, he ONLY sees our🇺🇸country as 🇺🇸 #aMErica, a personal PIGGY🐖💸🤑BANK that da #TrumpCrimeFamily has the unique, unprecedented “immunity” exemption 2 MILK 4 every ILLEGAL💰GRIFT‼️
The $400 MILLION Qataran jet gift is just the tip of it — that’s why his Middle East trip is a MULTI-BILLION💰cash-in‼️
The convicted felon a master of gaslighting, lying +manipulation, seizes every chance for self gain, whether it's a tempting bribe, a crafty quid pro quo, or a “golden” ✈️opportunity,while orchestrating the unraveling of our democracy and destroying our country.
I’m sure Loomer will retract this or get kicked to the curb.
“I love President Trump. I would take a bullet for him. But, I have to call a spade a spade. We cannot accept a $400 million ‘gift’ from jihadists in suits.”
The Qatar 747 is just a luxury-outfitted commercial jet. Converting it into a POTUS-grade flying command center would mean a full retrofit to USAF VC-25 specs: hugely expensive and pointless, especially with Boeing already building the next Air Force One, due 2026/27.
"I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer." Bloody Hell ! He just told the truth. Now that is worth reporting. There’s a first time for everything.
Nope. It just creates more kompromat on him, pulling him further into corrupt behaviour. Merrick Garland had a chance to hobble this shit; he didn't take it.
Air Force veteran here. That plane will never be Air Force One. The cost to upgrade it to the latest avionics would be equal to about eight birthday parades.
And there will never be a Felon Library either. Why waste all that money on a building when he can line his pockets with the help of the sycophantic quisling Congressional Republicans!
Yes, but this man says he would have sex with his daughter if she wasn’t related to him. So he doesn’t seem to be a man who’s reasoning skills are particularly sound.
If it's temporary, it's a loaner. If it's a gift to the Defense Dept., it should belong to the Government. Trump is calling it a transaction. A transaction is two-sided, so what Qatar getting that Trump isn't disclosing.
Btw. What if this foreign government plants something nefarious (listening devices or worse) on said “gift”? The implications are AWFUL. Congress or the DOJ must intervene.
except for the glaring fact that it is blatantly illegal under the direct working of the Constitution in Article 1.
But we knew he was a criminal from the start. He just stopped trying to hide it.
Last I heard this plane would eventually become his own personal private plane. But yeah sure it’ll cost America less to not have to fix up old planes.
Was it an offer? I wonder how many golf courses and hotels he has bought and built. If I recall Eric was over there not to long ago. Too bad the Democrats have no guts.
Yeah, that's the problem! His rich guy greed has exceeded any sense of how much obvious bullshit the average American can take. This is so simple and symbolic that even the MAGA base won't chug down this turd.
Either his instincts have slipped or he just doesn't care b/c no accountability is coming
Of course he loves it. When it touches down in a foreign country, everyone knows that everything is for sale, even before Trump gets off the plane. The US represents no other values.

Trump is being bribed
For what in return??

•Car companies coming back.
•Steel industry is strong.
•Drug companies cutting prices by edict.
•The devastation of the Biden economy.
•Free 747s!
I felt like they should have been playing how great thou art....
I mean, he’s aware there’s nothing that will be done about it & who is gonna to argue with that?
Donald Trump’s Drug Bill is
(the poison pill) Inside
the big beautiful Reconciliation Bill
largest legislative tax cut in history
for corporations and billionaires.

I’d be stupid to have turned it down.
I don’t have to do anything for it except sleep with him when he demands it.
At a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to US taxpayers.
It would take 3 years to fix. Then he'd take his plane and grift off home.
“I love President Trump. I would take a bullet for him. But, I have to call a spade a spade. We cannot accept a $400 million ‘gift’ from jihadists in suits.”
this bullet laura.
Spill your guts.
As if America is some backwater impotent country... a banana republican would think twice, but this fat fool is so greedy, a parasite.
What did he bring into the deal? (A Golf resort?)
making deals with saudis
handcuff him now.

Asshole.

He told the truth
His greed and stupidity will be his undoing.

Planes, crypto, I’ll take anything.
The corruption in America is at a level that it were happening in another country America would be considering a regime change.
They will decide it's not time/money feasible to convert into an Air Force One, park it for 3.5 years, then hand it over as-is to "the library".
Immunity nulls Illegality.
Its the sad fact of where we are at, right now.
It’s a bribe. There’s that.
They will, obviously, but they don't need to.
But we knew he was a criminal from the start. He just stopped trying to hide it.
Maybe he will work for the American people if we pool our money and buy him gifts.
whose created a
CIRCUS of INEPT CORRUPT FOX LYING ANCHORS for his
CRIME REGIME to destroy our U.S. GOVERNMENT
Either his instincts have slipped or he just doesn't care b/c no accountability is coming
Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking
