A billion dollars worth of waste and inefficiency.

Does the plane, er, luxury jet, belong to the government?

dorosaynow.bsky.social•24 days ago

Will Congress vote upon acceptance of this gift? Or do we now launder foreign gifts through the Air Force?

The fact that he now puts very little effort into disguising his criminal behavior is disturbing. He still lies, but not as much about his actions as before. We ought not become desensitized to his repetitive criminal behavior, but it is strenuous to maintain the level of shock his actions demand.

How dare you call it a bribe! It is not a bribe.
It's a completely legal, SCOTUS sanctioned gratuity.

Trump is for sale!

donnaenn.bsky.social•24 days ago

And the Trump team says to the American people…FU. What are you going to do about it? As they are saying to Dems in Congress, SCOTUS, federal judges, etc etc

johndettling.bsky.social•24 days ago

Love to see your take, but Trump knows it will be difficult to prove it is a bribe and it will be difficult to hold him accountable to receive the plane post-presidency because he can gift it to himself the last day in office--unless Congress makes it felonious to do so.

We all know that the mango moron is corrupt but three major security problems are
1. What do they expect in return?
2. Has the plane been rigged so that it can be taken down if and when they want to?
3. Is the plane full of bugs that can be used to steal American secrets.

I REALLY DON’T CARE. A bank robbery is a bank robbery. A car theft is a car theft. A home burglar is a home burglary. He is a criminal period paragraph.

No, fairly visible and apparently gold embossed....at least the crypto grift was vaguely deniable...

Let’s just skip any costly upgrades and fixes. Let Trump fly on it, as is.

lauraweatherspoon.bsky.social•24 days ago

They claim it’s a gift to the United States, specifically to the DOD. Ok. What’s to stop the next next DOJ (hopefully under a non-MAGA administration) from arresting Trump for theft if he tries to leave office with it?

Ya, I'm thinking that he didn't turn down the free hookers in Russia either.

@davidcorn.bsky.social

Is it true he has been shopping for this plane from them since february, couldn't swing a deal so he just suddenly announced they were giving it to him?

Like, as in it was a surprise to Qatar that they were giving him a plane.

Is that true?

A fantastic wooden horse!

Tinpot dictator - the US has fallen deeply and is now thoroughly mired in its own feces

jvmguy.bsky.social•24 days ago

I expect that the bribe will be repaid handsomely… by US taxpayers.

upstatedem.bsky.social•24 days ago

Whoever signed for the plane likely committed a crime as the documents likely described it as a gift. Which it ain’t.

timeforthat.bsky.social•24 days ago

Transparent and exorbitantly expensive to retrofit. Why don't they just take Boeing's rush job and call it a deal?

gerribrightwell.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh, a white elephant--it's going to cost a fortune to upgrade, and a fortune to run and maintain. No wonder the Qataris were trying to sell it.

bmr525.bsky.social•24 days ago

Apparently there a no checks and balances. Time to ask our representatives for an explanation of the abandonment of their oath of office.

natink.bsky.social•24 days ago

All trumps extortion/blackmailing is all open , thats the way he gets away with all his daily bs!

newnavigate.bsky.social•24 days ago

So, now the Pentagon is breaking the Law. Got it.

pm-garage.bsky.social•24 days ago

One way to 86-47 I guess

womanwarrior54.bsky.social•24 days ago

So when Trump is no longer President will he take the plane with him?

jcshaw.bsky.social•24 days ago

After the revolution that jet can transport trump maga leaders to a prison outside the USA

pissedoffoldytdude.bsky.social•23 days ago

I wanna see the transparent tab for transforming that lemon (Q been trying to dump it for 5 years) into a plane worthy of a US President. Defense spending just took a billion $ hit to fund that I’m sure.
