Thumbs Down On Trump Taking the Qatar 747!

[Care4all]

The model that the government is using for addressing the ethical issues raised by the donation, one of the officials said, is the one followed by President Ronald Reagan’s presidential library when it received the Air Force One he had flown on after it was retired from use. But at the time, Mr. Reagan did not use the plane to fly around. It was set up in the museum portion of his library.

Another person with knowledge of the effort to acquire the plane said that the Qataris had initially discussed donating it immediately to the Trump library, and Mr. Trump would then use it while in office. But government lawyers said that would violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution, the person said, which prohibits federal officials from accepting financial benefits from foreign governments without congressional approval.

Qatar is an outstanding country. Just look at their economy look at how beautiful its capital Doha looks. They have the greatest airport in the world.

Now contrast that with the filth we still have in many big left-wing cities in America. People taking a shit in the streets of San Francisco. Men dressing like women getting naked in front of kids. Trump can help fight this… not sure if he can solve that issue. It’s the identity crisis of the west.


And no nobody is saying women have to go back to the kitchen or we need to send everyone to church. Left-wingers lie all the time of about these topics.

Quatar is an autocratic regime. Women there are strictly controlled. There is no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, etc. Even the workers who helped build this beautiful city are nothing more than a step above slaves. It’s no wonder you idolize this government and their way of life. Fascists are always attracted to fascism wherever else it may exist.

Google it, yourself! Do a little research, please.

Here is a start.... Looks like it could be Trump insisting on the plane be donated to his Presidential Library....?

What Do We Know About Qatar’s Plan To Gift The Plane?​

A Qatari official told CNN the plane is being gifted specifically from the Qatari Ministry of Defense to the Pentagon, which will modify the plane to be up to Air Force One’s safety standards. Once the plane is donated to Trump’s presidential library just before the end of his term, he will be able to use it as a private citizen, multiple outlets reported, which could raise questions about the legality of the gift.

What We Know About Trump’s Plan To Accept Plane From Qatar

ABC News reported Sunday the Trump administration is preparing to accept a plane worth about $400 million to serve as Air Force One under President Donald Trump.

Your conspiracies know no end. I will not entertain them.

 

[cnm]

Trump already has a personal plane, he doesn't need or want another.

What a judge of character.

You are quite naive!!!!

You are quite naive!!!!

And you are staggeringly paranoid.

As if you could judge character at all.

Where are those pictures from, that I asked about, that were posted?

lol

Just Acknowledge this.

Good country to work with ^

 

[TemplarKormac]

Will this benefit America? Very possible. But let's not pretend that America is exceptional in a good way.

Then, Mac, why are you still living in America?

Clearly, it benefits you. Your freedom alone makes this country exceptional in a good way.

Such a myopic view of things. It's embarrassing.

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

I would inspect every micron of that plane for bugs and make sure every line of software was free of outside control before putting a President on it.

Still. This gift to the US has really screwed up the brains of the democrats. It's amazing the little things that break them anymore.

Standard procedure to check any gift from any country. Agreed.

Well democrats have looney views … their response in this topic is not surprising

 

[TemplarKormac]

Total Bull Scat.... Trump is accepting the gift on behalf of America.
This isn't a trinket he can slip into his pocket. It's a Jet transport Aircraft.
Trump will probably never fly in the plane in any case. It doesn't have the goodies and protections of Air Force One...

It would have to be gutted and refitted at the very least.

No women are now doctors and lawyers in Qatar.

Lol you folks are living in the past

Keep on posting nothing burgers …I’ll stick with facts ^

And you are staggeringly paranoid.

I'm not paranoid, I'm informed. You have chosen to be ignorant on this, if you are not naive.... I chose naive, to give you the benefit of the doubt. I was obviously wrong! You've chosen your blinded eye ignorance.... You can sleep in it! Ciao!

 

[Care4all]

It's nobody's business if he accepts a gift or not

It's against the constitution, without Congress approving the gift for him....silly one!

Isn't Qatar 2/3s male vs 1/3 female in population?

You delude yourself.

I have chosen to be sensible on this. You cannot tolerate any success or benefit the president achieves on our behalf. Not even a f**king airplane.

Keep your damned conspiracies to yourself, woman.

President Trump should not take the $400 million Boeing 747 as a gift from Qatar to replace Air Force One. The primary reason has to with the character and values that a U.S. President should always exhibit. America is the greatest country on earth it has been abundantly blessed by God in a league unto itself. The President of the United States is the leader of this awesome country his actions as President should rise to the level of the stature of the country and not only be guided by principle but always give the impression that they are. Accepting a gift of this size tarnishes the integrity of President Trump it can raises the issue in reasonable people's minds that he is possibly inclined to favor the country of Qatar in Presidential decisions contrary to what principles call for. The wrongdoing here is in perception and such a perception is relevant because issues lie with Qatar where a bias could make a difference; one being the U.S. has a major air base in Qatar if a peace deal is reached in the Ukrainian War and a European Union peace keeping force is established on the armistice line and the U.S. is drafted to protect this peace keeping force sensible judgment could call for a downgrade on the resourcing of this Qatar base and an upgrade of resourcing U.S. bases closer to Ukraine, a Qatar biased President might not follow common wisdom here based on that bias! Also, a President should protect the Office of the Presidency, he or she should not establish precedents that weaken the office; accepting gifts of humongous monetary value would then justify future Presidents doing the same a President sanctioning such behavior weakens the Office of the Presidency it subjects it to be unduly influenced by such gifts. Further, good leaders try to follow the same rules that rank and file in their organization have to follow; rank and file members of the U.S. government have to follow ethics rules where there is a prohibition against receiving gifts. President Trump contrary to the spin is in reality violating this ethical rule which is not displaying the quality of leadership the American people would hope their President would display!

One thing that really doesn't make too much sense to me is the taking on this controversy really worth it to President Trump I mean from the standpoint of the following this Qatar 747 is going to have to be turned into an Air Force One (Suitable for the President) plane meaning that U.S. authorities have to take this Qatat 747 and add a missile defense system too it; harden the structure of the plane so it can fly through a nuclear radiation cloud and the occupants of the plane won't be killed or severely sickened by radiation, add sophisticated communication which a President needs and add the technology that allows the plane to be refueled in the air, this will probably take the better part of two years so President Trump will have a luxurious 747 for the last two years of his term is this short period of reward worth tarnishing your reputation for integrity over, I don't think so! Today, CNN reported that the cost to do everything that will need to be done to the Qatar 747 plane to make it an Air Force One plane will be $750 million dollars, apparently the plane needs to be completely disassembled to check for listening devices and then reassembled; if Trump takes the Qatar 747 gift and pursues the modification with this price tag it will really set him up for great ridicule because he has repeatedly bragged about how he did an outstanding job in negotiating for the new Air Force One planes from Boeing how Boeing originally quoted over $5 billion for them and how he President Trump stood his ground and wouldn't go to four billion or higher and how he prevailed with the deal ending up being $3.999 billion. People will say why didn't Trump just agree to $4.75 billion for the new Air Force One planes Boeing wouldn't have gotten a fair profit out of the deal and been incentivized to fill the order quickly and Trump would probably have new Air Force One planes right now he could fly around in instead of twelve to forty year old Boeings that are not near the same quality of plane!

oh boy
"The primary reason has to with the character and values that a U.S. President should always exhibit"

Felon, grifter, (etc.)

At the end of his term, the jet is "Trumps".

Spend all that money retrofitting a jet, and then "Yeah I did that" and "Yeah that jet is mine"
