From the Qatar giving each month million of dollars to the Hamas and some others terrorists groups like the Hezbollah who attacked the USA? Yes, it bother many people. How this miserable imbecile can't understand some simple facts? It have nothing to see with being democrat. It's just indecent.
Our grift loving SCOTUS ruled on Title 18, Section 666, that "bribes" before an act are illegal, but if you call them "gratuities" and accept them AFTER the quid pro quo act, that's legal. 🙄
This my open and transparent gift limit as a Parks and Rec Commissioner: "The annual gift limit for state and local officials and employees is set at $630 for the 2025-2026 calendar years. This means that an official cannot receive gifts with a total value exceeding $630 from any single source."
He thinks he can keep it! 😂😅🤣 so full of himself. He is getting a new toy as well as a parade for his birthday! Then he’s got the nerve to tell people that they can’t get a toy for their kids! His spending for his birthday is ridiculously expensive! He is paying for it all himself, right?
Certainly he knows that his birthday is just another day & nobody truthfully cares about him! Those who seem to are just sucking up. They hate him too!
If the Defense Department is taking ownership, I want to see the signed documents. If it's a gift, I want to see a signed statement that no personal business with Qatar will be done by Donald Trump for 10 years post-donation.
They can, but you should also remember what happened to Qatar last time they tried to not participate in trump family corruption — Jared had them blockaded until they agreed to bail out his bankrupt 5th Ave bldg.
They are trying to get on their good side right off the bat
Free of charge does not mean free of obligation. No one "gifts" something like this without expecting something. Even dumb ass Trump voters have to realize that.
Trump is set to accept a luxury plane from the Qatari royal family that will be retrofitted and used as Air Force One during the president’s second term, people familiar with the agreement told CNN.
Too bad Trump's not going to live long enough to enjoy it; because he's dying from dementia!
You know he's not going to let them mess with the gold plating on every GD surface of the inside of this plane. He loves gold plating shit (and shitters).
You know, Jack, I find myself agreeing with you - where are the Dems yelling and screaming about this, putting forth Article of Impeachment, etc. And where is Congress exercising its power - which I would think they have - to stop this! Horrible all around.
He doesn’t have to understand; he gets away with EVERYTHING. Republicans are scared of the caked-with-makeup, lift wearing, ignorant wannabe mob boss in depends.
I’m not going to mention history bc it’s futile - He who controls everything records the history.
Look at Oklahoma!
Free gilded 747-8is are normally not included as part of the Air Force acquisition process. The jet would need to go through an extensive upgrade to meet SAM requirements. Otherwise he would be highly vulnerable to air threats.
Was just thinking the same, let him have and don't say anything about refurbishments. Then God knows how many bugs and listening devices there might be. Let alone how controllable the plane would be.
He's the loser! He thinks everyone loves and respects him. In fact, they see him as the biggest schmuck. Flatter him and he's your friend. He'd sell his own mother for a little praise.
Ask Rep. Comer what he thinks after he spent almost 2 years on hearings trying to prove how corrupt it was that Biden's family accepted $5 million from China (which never happened). I am sure the answer will be quite different than his stance in that instance.
no snakes. Listening devices. Perhaps an absence of all the communications and defensive equipment that the Airforce normally puts into AirForce One...
If he plans to keep it, then let the AirForce take 3-4 years to install all the specialised equipment, and then carelessly rip it out later.
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.
I've seen several MAGA saying they didn't think it was true. That sounds you hear is goal posts being moved. I have already seen "well, it's not like it's his personally"
It's not "Free". The cost of bringing it up to the standards of Air Force One will be in the hundreds of millions, plus the cost to undo that, when it's given to his "Library"
If it's like the older Qatari plane I got to see some years ago, yes. The royal area is up front, and there are business class type seats in the rear of the plane, similar to AF1
My point is the entourage will have to take a second plane, pissing away even more tax dollars. Good thing DOGE eliminated all that waste, fraud and abuse to fund this 🙄.
Yep, just the fact that the deal calls for the plane to go to Trump after his term, should make the deal illegal. Now, if it's agreed that the plane won't be flown after his term in office, like the AF-1 707 sent to the Reagan Library, maybe it could be doable.
It should be made IN America dumbass!! Where is your jabbet about producing things here??
Let alone how do you know what has been imbedded into That plane??
YOU’RE the Loser! Big baby.
Just sayin’
Obviously, bribery. A violation of the Constitution, obviously. But this plane cannot function as AF1 without 10s of millions of dollars in modifications: AF1 must have specialized electronic hardening, encrypted comms, and laser antimissile defense system. Are we expected to pay for this toy?
He wants taxpayers to pay for all the upgrades, and then, when it becomes his private plane, it will have to be undone before it can be handed back to him. And it will take several years both ways.
temporarily? oh does that mean he is going to abscond with the jet that was gifted to the defense department for himself so the defense department needs another? or is this a rental jet?
The first one actually. As I understand the bribe, aircraft ownership reverts to the "Trump Presidential Library Foundation" after the Criminal-in-Chief leaves office.
It's his way of thinking, yes. Plus, "I told you already that I'm doing it, but you didn't stop me. It's your fault that you let me do it. I'm not responsible for this. You can't arrest me."
Energy of "Yeah I murdered that guy in broad daylight, but he owed me 2 cents! Completely justified. Anyways, anyone who tries to hold ME accountable for that is just a hater."
As we all know, he doesn’t read, nor do his followers. It will be a pictograph display of Trump giving thumbs up on all the nonsense he calls deals and cardboard cutouts of him in a MAGA hat
3+ years or until he dies. Which ever comes first!
So in order to save myself…. I’m not saying what I’m thinking…. but you all know exactly what I’m thinking, right?
She, if “the Defense Department” is getting this gift of a $400 million plane, then when Trump leaves office (can’t come soon enough) then that plane should remain the property of the Defense Dept & NOT the Trump Library!!
I have actually worked with the most “dangerous persons” in New Jersey… they were dual-diagnosed, previous drug users, had schizophrenia or something along those lines, and had been in prison. This dude is the craziest person I have even seen.
I have also met people in mental institutions and have volunteered to teach persons with certain disabilities. In no realm have I ever met anyone as insane as Donald Trump. He needs to be institutionalized.
I think he's way beyond that. He's a Jim Jones level narcissistic sociopath. He has charmed the lowest and most ignorant parts of our society into believing his lies. He will continue to be a danger and needs to be put away on a remote island somewhere so he cannot continue to hurt people.
I worked in the inpatient mental health department of a prison with the craziest people in the state. They would carve themselves open and play in their own intestines.
Trump is crazier.
The more of this he does, the more they love him - the Roger Stone greedy types and the aggrieved poor white who just always imagine Dems are even more corrupt.
He makes it sound like he's borrowing the plane and giving it back after a short period of time, not transferring it to his Presidential library and keeping it for his own personal use, in perpetuity...
It confirms his Presidential library is actually going to be a hangar. It actually makes more sense than a Trump library having books or documents in it.
We're already paying for a brand new plane. He wants another one which we have to pay to retro-fit just so he can weekly commute in gold plated luxury to his Florida pink palace to play golf. 🤪
Precisely. He's been whining about a special plane since 2016. Bribery is finally going to get him his toy. And since it's free, he still gets 2 dolls and 5 pencils.
Exactly. POS Con man, felon. I have never loathed anyone as much as him..The afterlife has a major surprise for him, & all of his gold, planes, tariffs can't save him from it. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🤬🤬🤬
Boeing is American. And the USAF will crawl over every inch of it. To be honest I doubt it'll serve as Air Force One by the time its equipped, checked , the crews are trained etc.
Presumably when it goes to Trump, all that extra classified equipment will need removing.
I could see a scenario, as with the plane, with the President in it, stuck on autopilot, refusing to be brought down, with the USA being demanded an enormous ransom and get out of the Middle East!
Make a good film that!
Better still dive into the Bay of Mexico and serve his corrupt person right. 🤣😇
It's not the defense department getting it it's Donald Trump getting it. It goes to his library after his presidency is over and his library is only going to be a golden toilet with a barely legal porn mag in it
It's running into over budget because of all the stuff that it needs to make sure of out of the gate that was piece sealed before (such as anti missile, manual steerage, anti spying, etc) and it needs to be big because it has to house travel administration staff and reporters as well as any guests)
But surely the Qatar jet doesn't have these defense measures fitted, so who is going to do that? Boeing? Ready in 2 years time like the original pair of AF1s? Or is 🍊💩 going to fly around in it unprotected?
That plane is, as DOD says, an espionage nightmare. They are going to have to take the plane apart looking for bugging devices. But Dumb Donald can’t understand this concern and just wants his shiny new toy bribe.
Thinking how long those strings attached to the tail will stay attached. Nobody on the planet makes such a gift without reciprocity. We just don't know what form that reciprocity will take.
I think Donald Trump is just rebuilding the US Air Force thanks to a new plane from Qatar. It won't be able to fire any weapons. It will have a new toilet for Trump called "Deuces Wild." Actually, it will be able to shoot Trump's sh... uh, dump.
The wealth of intelligence that the Arab states will collect from Trump’s senselessness and corruption—obviously from his air palace—will be a goldmine for all of America’s enemies for decades to come🤬
Already did.
Did you forget about the boxes of top secret documents at Mar-a-Shithole.
Did four F-18’s really fall into the Sea? I mean, REALLY?!?!?
4 !!!!

Accepting a Jet or having a meme coin while scamming and robbing half of the meme coin buyers is completely unethical for a President to do, before Trump no one was allowed to accept gifts, or have out side profit ventures without being completely scrutinized!!!
Boeing haven’t made 747’s for ages so exactly how old is this gift anyway . As President would you accept a plane from someone who isn’t even one of your allies ? On second thoughts take it and use Trump 🤣.
Dude, he can't see that Qatar giving him a plane he has to use for official business for 4y that the DOD is going to pay to convert onto a flying luxury hotel, boardroom, hospital and advanced high tech electronic warfare platform and then gets to keep is a billion dollar bribe.
Well, this is only for this guy. Apparently, the next president will need something bc this guy is going to put this plane in a box and hide it in his bathroom at Make-A-Fart-Go. Oh Lord, please let there be a next president🙏🏼
Qatar isnt giving the DOD a jumbo jet. Its being given to Trump and its an obvious bribe. Hes going to logic pretzel himself on this. The fact that he still owns Jeffery Epsteins old plane is mind boggling and how the media never exposed this before the election is unreal.
So the fact that that WE are getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE from THE GREEKS, of a GIANT WOODEN HORSE to replace the 40 year old One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked few, that they insist we pay, TOP DRACMA, for the HORSE. MAKE TROY GREEK AGAIN!
Is this plane going to belong to the US after trump dies?
Would be wonderful if the ultimate karma happened and the major shortage of flight controllers proved the dangers to the public, when his new plane goes down over an ocean...
Nope, and he’s an idiot for thinking there isn’t some kind of bug on that plane that will be used to gather intelligence on us. That alone could pay it off for Qatar, but he’ll probably slip them some graft as well or maybe let them host a golf tournament. 🙄
He crimes constantly and out in the open, doing things that if a single democrat ever did would cause the collective group aneurysms of everyone in right wing grift “media” and he still has the audacity to call them the “crooked democrats”. It’s unfucking believable.
Accepting the gift without approval by Congress is what's against the law.
But such gifts become federal property; if he wants to keep the jet, he has to purchase it from the GSA at full value. That's the law, too.
The list is quite long, actually. By their complacency. Holding up signs and writing letters.
Choosing to do a book tour instead of trying to stop the republicans from defunding every program that helps anyone not an elite. Confirming the ridiculous cabinet he chose. How indeed.
Congress has the authority to approve it. That is the law.
The law also says that if any government official wants to keep an expensive gift accepted by the government on their behalf, they must pay the GSA the full value of the gift.
Can we, yet again, just call BULLSHIT. On the odorous orange turd. This latest grift smells in so many ways that I have wonder if the repubs are now covered in so much trump vomit and feces that they can no longer smell how bad this is.
They are not giving it to the Defense Dept - they are giving it to Trump, personally, for his sole use. How can he lie so blatantly?....oh, that's right, it's Trump. If his lips are moving he's lying!
So much for cutting waste! The dictator wants all those suffering financially from loss of jobs & tariffs, to be thrilled he’s going to spend a billion or more retrofitting a plane that may take a year to complete. The retro fit paid by taxpayers & he gets to keep the plane when he’s out of office
Can't some film studio make some movie magic and fake some bloody deportation videos to keep him distracted? Lock him in a "simulation" Whitehouse and close the door on this decade of evil.
No, it's a gift and it transfers to HIM personally. Of course its SO above board. It comes from a place of LOVE. Qatar won't want a single thing in return...will they? 🤔
He's so used to bribery & corruption, it's normal to him.

I mean, it's obvious he hasn't read the Constitution.
Or the Declaration of Independence.

Oh wait, he can't read.
Not good enough
For an American president?
What an ungrateful
Cheapskate.
Who's actually being bribed here, Trump or the defence department?
Surely this has to be a tax dodge.
Is this gilded 747 shipping to Trump with the same advanced comm systems, medical facilities, and defensive equipment installed in the actual AF1?
No, of course not. And none of that is free. Stupid AF.
Just my opinion though!
Presumably when it goes to Trump, all that extra classified equipment will need removing.
Make a good film that!
Better still dive into the Bay of Mexico and serve his corrupt person right. 🤣😇
I wish he would stop overcompensating for his penis size.
What a fucking idiot, does he really think that he's a special little boy who negotiated this instead of just getting f****** bribed??
I mean I know we have the dementia to deal with, but this is just like brain damage level delusion.
