Thumbs Down On Trump Taking the Qatar 747!

[Lesh]

-Nothing- in the constitution required Congress to pass legislation to accept it.

Ya mean besides the Emoluments Act

By the way… it’ll cost 2 billion to outfit it properly for the President

 

[Rawley]

COngress was required under the Constitution to pass legislation to accept it. I know in Putinland where you are from, getting bribes is not a problem, its a feature.

Just curious, what are the Qatari's getting in return for this "bribe?"

Ask the Israelis. They'll probably tell you if you close the door.

ITS ABOUT OIL!

So they haven't told you. Don't you question, even a little bit, when they order you to spread propaganda that makes absolutely no sense?

There you go, talking out your ass again.
The Statue of Liberty, was a gift to the United States, not the President, or any individual within the government.
Thus:
-Nothing- in the constitution required Congress to pass legislation to accept it.

No one tells me anything. The wife just tells me not to hurt my little brain and let her do the thinking.

OK Second time you're admitting your masters have not told you what the Qatari's getting in return for this "bribe"

What do you get in return for looking like a fool for spreading their senseless propaganda? A better seat at the next cult meeting?

Why do you think a regime that supports Hamas would give Trump a $5.5Bn resort deal and then a $400mm plane?

OK. Strike 3. I won't bother your beleaguered little brain anymore.

Article one Section 9 clause 8

Read it

Humor me. Even Trump said you should take gifts, before he received one of course.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Article one Section 9 clause 8

Read it.

...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.

The gift is to the United States, not to any person holding any office under them.

Thus:
-Nothing- in the constitution required Congress to pass legislation to accept the Statue of Liberty.

Please: Talk out your ass some more.

I have humored you. For 5 posts now, You called it a "bribe," but can even attempt to explain what the Qatari's get in return for this "bribe."

We're done.

Very verbose OP. And wrong.

There is objectively nothing wrong with the President accepting a gift from a nation for our nation.

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

Added to which, retrofitting and upgrading this personal bribe, will cost American taxpayers $1 billion and take 3 years, to complete, so it wouldn't even be ready for use until Trump leaves office, so it's hardly "free" for the American people.

Trump has been taking billions out of dollars out of the Middle East, in the form of "investments" in Trump's media company, his bitcoins and meme coins, and his hotel properties around the room. The Saudis have booked and paid for millions of dollars in unoccupied rooms.

The Saudi's even amalgamated LIV Golf with the PGA after the PGA banned Trump and his properties from the tour, forcing the PGA to give Trump lots of events.

That's in addition to their $2 billion investment in Jared's "hedge fund".

WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF CONGRESS

You are one stupid *****.

The gift is to the United States, not to any person holding any office under them.
The Emoluments clause only applies when a gift is given to a person holding office under the United States.
Thus:
-Nothing- in the constitution required Congress to pass legislation to accept the Statue of Liberty.

I am sure you have not hit bottom yet - please show us how stupid you can be.

You are lying.
All you ever do is lie.
The aircraft goes to his Presidential Library.

It’s meant for Trump’s personal use and will be given to his library when he leaves office
