After the gift, where is the budget 2make changes 2the plane come from? How much is that going 2cost? Since they can't refuel in air, how r logistics messed up vs existing aircraft? Where is that budget? And while we r at it, what budget do all the golf vacations 2Trump properties come from? 🤔
As all his crimes! The I did it and got caught so of course It is not a Crime! Absolute Immunity for official acts! Free Plane! GOP will be accepting planes from all over now!
Just finished my compulsory annual conflict-of-interest training as a state employee and was reminded that I must not only refuse bribes and most gifts but also avoid even the *appearance* of such impropriety. 🤷🏽♀️
Why would Qatar bother with that kind of expense and hassle when the recipient will gladly give them any information they want (the actual cost of the "gift")?
I'm sure you're right. Even if they did install listening devices, they'd scream, "shut that off, shut that off! I can't stand to listen to him again!"
"It's ok, he'll forward us the secret intel anyways."
Christ, imagine being one of the guys who has to listen to the audio for hours on end as that fucking dipshit rambles on about whatever dumb thought slaloms over his smooth brain on its way out of his big mouth.
They'll be defecting in no time just so they don't have to listen to him anymore.
Now you are thinking?
What failed? Who bought it? Who Used it for years? His Trump plane is a 35 year old Mexico Air Plane! She has been rode and Flown hard! Lol
But they said “nice things” about him. Besides Jared got $2 billion from the Saudis for “something” and the GOP didn’t hold hearings didn’t scream “Trump crime family.”
This is obviously extremely corrupt, but does the US consider Qatar a foreign adversary? I thought we were kind of ambivalent towards them (and vice versa).
They openly harbor terrorists. When the terrorist enter their country, they’re off-limits to us. They’ve helped us a couple times we’ve helped them, but it’s always transactional.
Interesting. Aren’t we allies with Saudi Arabia despite there being ample evidence that they also support terrorism?
I’ll admit that I’m not great at geopolitics, but Qatar is a famously wealthy country and we seem to overlook terrorism ties when it’s financially advantageous to us.
Where’s are the investigative
Journalists not the reporters?

truth on Trump shady deals.
Keep US citizens inform if

Don't just agree. Get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC to enforce the emoluments clause. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. https://www.nationalfinancialplan.co
Free of charge? Seriously?
Four years from now that plane will be repainted and upgraded AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE, then it’ll become just another trump pocketed bribe.
Turns out the loophole is “It’s not for trump, it’s for his presidential library” so there’s nothing to see here. Now move along.
"very public and transparent transaction" - makes one wonder what he's received that hasn't been so public or transparent. After all, it is kinda hard to hide a jet.
Yeah. We know they're hypocrites. Known for a long time actually. We know too the plane is a bribe. They're evil. We get it. Can the Dems please move on from the pearl clutching to the do something portion of the program?
Ohhhhhh.....NOW he's saying the DoD is getting the gift and not him.
So Trump, does that mean in January 2029 when you leave the White House that the new Air Force One stays with the DoD/next president or are you still gonna keep "DoD's gift" at your library?
The media is owned by billionaires like Elon, Bezos, Zuckerberg and the Murdochs. These billionaires do not want to anger the King who has promised them more tax cuts and government contracts. This is why the media is silent.
The whore of the U.S. sitting in the Red House!!! He’s a despicable president who worships money and himself! He’s an empty shell of a human without morals!
Problem is; his party doesn’t care…some will pretend to clutch their pearls over it but they will ALL want a ride! They chose not to impeach this man then they had a chance (TWICE), & have shown repeatedly that criminal activity doesn’t matter to them, as long as they retain power-
We are focusing on bribery but, this should be a HUGE red flag that he is NOT going to leave office…ever!! He believes he is above the law and our Constitution. He’ll never give up the office. Do you think he’ll leave this behind willingly?? SMDH
The biggest present for the grifter yet. Corruption at its finest, drump, and his band of thieves will rob this country blind while the drumplican congress closes its eyes
Wonder when Katlin will have on a nazi minion and let them spew nonsense & lies for 15 minutes while she asks softball questions without ever getting an answer. The agreement is scum go on these shit shows knowing they can lie with impunity. Quit watching MSM.
So... Air Force One isnt just a fancy plane, its a fortress. Im sure the orange man hasn't figured out that someone is giving him a gold clad paper airplane completely exposed to all sorts of danger.
Someone is luring him to peril with a shiny object
#MAGA why does #Trump care sooooo much about renaming the Persian Gulf to the Gulf Of Arabia??
Did #Qatar-anon order him to do it?
Are we going to Make Arabia Great Again?
Is Trump destroying the US economy so Arabs can take over?
Maybe we will get lucky. They gave it to him for destroying documents about their royal family’s involvement in 911. There is only one way to make sure a rat never talks.
Blackmail driven offering? Journalist sleuths need deep dive. Wasn't the case why Qatar in 2017 bailed out, essentially buy, the Kushner 666th Ave building? After Qatar was accused of financing terrorism & Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt & Bahrain were coaxed to run an economic blockade against it?
No doubt, but my point is the response that we would see from Republicans if a Democrat did it would be different than the silence you're getting from them now.
IF this happens (and I Really hope it doesn't), you might as well go ahead and Name this thing, "KOMPROMAT ONE", because I Guarantee it Will Have 'The Latest' Espionage Technology-Built In!
Brazen corruption is still corruption. He feels he can say this and do this because the media has ignored his crypto corruption and all the corruption done by his kids and son in law.
It’s a personal
Gift only laundered through the DOD. It is his after office. This is just two crimes: bribery and money laundering. Also a foreign built plane from an Islamic country in the middle east will become the command center during a war. Safe? Secure? Are we all insane? How does one excuse
It’s clearly bribery to you and I because we believe in rule of law, but they’ve made it clear that they are not following the law. Therefore we should start breaking the law too.
Just brazen, they no longer care that you know they are corrupt. They now know that they are above the law. Americans no longer matter to trump and his gang.
The Emoluments Clause, in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the US Constitution, prohibits federal officeholders from accepting gifts, payments, or titles from foreign states without congressional consent. Its purpose is to prevent foreign influence & corruption in the US govt.
Might be good to remind #HouseGOP and #SpeakerJohnson and #SenateGOP and #LeaderThune of the obligation to uphold this clause in the Constitution in case they missed it.
If I was their constituent I’d be calling them daily.
As it is I’m vocal with my governor who is not being the Dem leader we need. ICE is invading Massachusetts and she is doing doodly squat.
We need that Pritzker energy in Mass!
📲 Call your MOC — they (usually?) have staff to track feedback:
WHY?
WHAT is Qatar getting in return?
WHY isn't this a bribe?
WHY isn't this a violation of the Emoluments Clause?
WHY aren't they concerned about security issues w/a foreign plane being used as AF1?
WHAT, if any, is Bondi's current relationship to Qatar?
Agreed. But they shld still ask why the administration doesn't consider it to be a violation. The administration will push back & probably insult the journalists for asking the question. But real journalism involves asking the tough questions & standing your ground.
There will be a couple hundred million'$ spent of taxpayer money , by the USAF to upgrade electronics and systems... I think he should be issued a bicycle
Wastage is not fraud.
Transparent bribery is bribery.
A person cannot be sent to prison without a trial.
Public corruption is corruption.
Tariffs are taxes on consumers.
Diseases are prevented by vaccines.
Russia is the aggressor.
Doesn't matter if it's free of charge. It's still unacceptable for a president to accept a gift from a foreign country without the approval of Congress. Anyway, seriously why the fuck is everybody acting like this is normal? It is not seriously what the fuck America.
Getting sick and tired of it. This shit is getting out of hand. Can't take it anymore. I don't know how much longer we have to keep dealing with this but we got to keep on fighting back and ending this shit.
being free of charge is the absolute core of a bribery. I give you something for free as long as you give something valuable, which the orange turd will do for sure
Not to mention all the listening devices & electronic monitoring systems that orange blunder isn't going to have removed - the Qataris are going to hear every conversation onboard & read all the secure comms in and out.
The only reason it’s going to the DOD is that’s who operates it. In reality, it’s for Trump to use personally while pres. Even if the DOD keeps it after he leaves, it’s still a gift. If they gave him a billion dollars but had to be spent while he was in office, we’d say bribe. A $400M palace is same
Good question. Why the hell would they bother with tmurpfff with that kind of money?!just bypass those clowns.
Maybe some Princes want some gold.medals in something? Sponsor the Olympics.....who knows.
Plus couldn’t they bug or rig the plane ✈️ so they could spy on Grifty? What’s “transparent” other than the corruption is that Qatar wants something and will get it. Old enough to remember how the Saudis went to Jared. That’s Jared. It can only be Jared.
“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.”
Whenever there is a democratic president - there is nothing they can do wrong either as far as I’m concerned. This is beyond reasoning that this is a bribe. What did Trump give them? We need to know…
Of course the Traitor is going to fly around in a Qatari plane. Wouldn't want to fly around in a plane that his own state prepared. Just like he trusts Putin over his own country's intelligence services.
So the GREAT United States had to go cap in hand to the Hamas supporting country of Qatar for it's new Air Force One! Who's supplying Air Force Two, Russia?! Trump and his gang of sycophants HAVE NO SHAME.
I don’t want a dime nor a single penny of my tax dollars spent on this worthless piece of ‘fake donated’ golden-garbage from an evil royal family to our evil gold-lusting graft-tainted president
It’s disgusting
It’s an affront to the emoluments clause of our constitution
On every application for a Security Clearance, one of the first questions is “Have you ever received gifts from a foreign country?” and if you answered yes you got a red flag.
But as always, that dolt is treated differently from everyone else. This alone should be getting him removed from office.
Hello dear Lisa, thank you for your continued support of my children and family. Please donate again. We need every dollar right now to buy food in these difficult times.

The Commandeer in Chief, everybody.
What did we pay for this free plane?
I'm waiting for the final agreement to be ready.
A walking, talking, squawking counter-intelligence eavesdropping foreign intelligence spy-plane!

Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia are extremely rich and are not helping Gaza, Palestine, Yemen, or Lebanon.

Of COURSE!
It makes absolute, perfect sense in retrospect!
It was Qatar all along!
Well done #MAGA -- Make Arabia Great Again?!?
Chuk it for pitens.

It’s gonna cost probably 350 million dollars to add all the AF1 security/attack prevention shit.
What about unconstitutional?
that answer should be an automatic retire or step down or be impeached.

After this second Trump regime, the only way to truly heal America's wounds, Will be prison sentences for Trump, Elon and the rest of their ilk....
e.g. favors
What if Biden had taken this kind of bribe?
It’s a bribe.
What’s Qatar 🇶🇦 going to get?
Maybe some Princes want some gold.medals in something? Sponsor the Olympics.....who knows.
What’s enraging is that future people who currently tacitly or actively endorse this will pretend they were hoodwinked or shocked.
“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.”
Trump hates America.

too much!

How is it the supreme court not up in arms about this blatant disregard for the constitution.

The other side of this shady deal will snake its ugly head shortly.
