Thumbs Down On Trump Taking the Qatar 747!

[AveMarica]

It would be used for presidents after him you fking stupid ass. Seriously, did you put rocks in your ears?

So this plane that is to be transferred to the Trump Library at the end of his term will be used by other Presidents? How?

Meanwhile, are you thinking they will cancel one of the other 747s they have on order instead? I haven't heard of any plans to save money by canceling the other purchases they are already building, and they had ordered what was needed.

 

[AveMarica]

But it's not "for your nation". Once Trump leaves office, the plane goes with him.

This is what so many Trump idolizers are studiously ignoring.

A "free gift" to America that will cost the taxpayers over a billion dollars, that goes directly to Trump's library.

 

[jc456]

How is it a gift to USA if we have to spend so much money upgrading it, then it goes to Trump's library after only a very short time in service of our government?

USA gains nothing, they already have planes that act as AF1 and had plans to continue to use them until the new ones are finished. USA spends lots of money upgrading a plane, then Trump gets it. That is a gift to Trump, not USA, and we pay for the upgrades to this plane to feed his ego.

Nothing like draining the swamp and reigning in government spending, vanity plane.

You think jets are free from Boeing?
Stay stupid

 

[The Duke]

If it were a Statue of Liberty sort of gift, I would agree. But a jet that will be the central command center for the President in worst case scenarios is fraught with many issues.

That's not happening.
Trump's just gettin' some accessories on AF1.

Why would they do that? It’s the defense department for commander in chief. Do you know who that is?

Meanwhile, are you thinking they will cancel one of the other 747s they have on order instead?

Boeing hasn’t done anything yet. Cancel the order reuse funds for the qatar 747. It’s not rocket science but, you put rocks in your brain so I guess it is for you

I haven't heard of any plans to save money by canceling the other purchases they are already building, and they had ordered what was needed.

Were you supposed to get that? When did that happen?

 

[AveMarica]

Why would they do that? It’s the defense department for commander in chief. Do you know who that is?

Because that was the terms of the deal that Trump wants to accept, why are you ignoring this fact? At the end of his term, it goes to the Trump Library Fund.

What is your source for Boeing hasn't done anything yet? They already acquired the aircraft and there have been reports of problems with their modification, you are now claiming they have just been sitting on the planes doing nothing? Source?

Were you supposed to get that? When did that happen?

If we aren't canceling one of the VS-25Bs they ordered then yes, this would be a huge waste of money.

I have heard nothing about it being canceled, have you?

 

[AveMarica]

You think jets are free from Boeing?
Stay stupid

Of course they aren't free, but they have contracted Boeing to make them.

Stupid = adding an additional unneeded temporary AF1 for lots of upgrade costs, then giving it to a library. That is whhat you support.

Trump ‘disappointed’ in Boeing for slow Air Force One delivery after Qatar plane offer raises eyebrows

President Trump said he was “disappointed” in Boeing for not being quick enough to refurbish Air Force One — and praised Qatar for offering him a free luxury jet valued at $400 million …

No one gets something for nothing from Qatar. Is that right Hilliary...what did they get from you??

 

[MayorQuimby]

I think it's kind of weird for the head of a nation to accept a gift from a nation that has a very bad reputation. I don't know if Qatar is a bona-fide terrorist nation or not, but if it is, then Trump shouldn't accept anything from them, as a matter of principle.

Said you, making shit up.

Property of a Presidential Library belongs not to the former President but to the U.S. government.

You could even look iit up!

Your commentary assumes a lot of horseshit which you simply make up. You’re wrong.

I assume they wish to curry favor with us while President Trump is in office. Duh.

No. Your response is the joke. As usual.

Nope. It's being reported everywhere that the possibility exists that Trump could use the plane personally, once out of office, otherwise why would there be a controversy over this gift if he can't even touch it?

My commentary is based on all the things this president has gotten away with and more. His whims are catered to on a daily basis even when he's not even the president. In what reality would a former president be responsible for maintaining a jet in his presidential library? Imagine you had a brain, and what that brain would be telling you right now, in order to answer that question. Of course, the government would be maintaining it and paying for it.

Duh, right back at you, and that in a nutshell is the kind of corruption we see from this president on a daily basis. What's some quid quo pro at the expense of the United States, amirite?

Oh nosies. A billionaire — who already has a big ass jet — might be permitted to get a joy ride on a jet which is owned by the federal government.

And is this a hill you choose to fight and die on?

Trump has his own 757, but a 747 has 3x the capacity and twice the fueling range of his jet. A 747, unlike the 757 can travel anywhere in the world without stopping. Also, flying one of these can cost tens of thousands of dollars for just one flight, one way. A 757 can cost 50-70k per flight and a 747 can cost 200k per flight, one way. Why, if I'm Trump, who is too cheap to even pay contractors when they finish work on his casinos, would use his own jet and pay tens of thousands of his own money to go one way and over 100-140k round trip, on his own jet, when he can just use the 747 over and over whenever he pleases for FREE? See how it works or maybe you're too obtuse to. Funny how no other president has been afforded such a luxury after they've left office.

No offense but this doesn't sound right.

It shouldn't matter how rich someone is, or isn't. Nobody should get any "joy-rides" from the government, once they are out of office.

If Trump is truly afforded something like this, then it really is the fault of the government, for being so stupid. It's not Trump's fault for taking the candy that someone freely hands out to him.

Why Qatar Is So Excited to Dump That Private Jet on Trump

The Qatari government used Trump to pawn off a hunking chunk of metal that it had been trying to get rid of for five years, according to reporting from Forbes.

The president—easily swayed by gifts—likely just saved this foreign government thousands if not millions of dollars in storage fees and maintenance by accepting the “palace in the sky,” a super-luxury Boeing 747 that the Qatari government has been trying to sell since 2020. Trump intends to use it as a “temporary Air Force One.”

Kinda makes for a different perspective on the gift. The Qataris couldn't sell the plane so Don got it. Not that it changes the corrupt nature of his acceptance of it.

Really. “Reported” that he might “possibly” huh?

You’re a moron.

And even if he was being given some “use” authority, it is still the governments craft.

I expect that it won’t go to the Trump Presidential Leadership library, at all, until it gets placed out of service. Like the one at the Reagan Presidential Library, it will simply be a large focal point sitting somewhere. Maybe for tourists.

All irrelevant.
