Trump Reportedly Is Set To Accept A Jet From Qatar’s Ruling Family For Possible Use As Air Force One

[TimFitz]

Take the 747 gift. It doesn't have any of the required counter-measures that the current AF-1 has.

It could be retrofitted with those counter-measures and replace the 40-year old AF-1.

It's not like Trump is being gifted money in a secret quid-pro-quo bribe.

No, he is being gifted right out in the open.

It's hard to imagine a more flagrant in-you-face violation of the Emoluments Clause than this.

Since the terms are that the plane reverts back to the Donald Trump Presidential lIbrary foundation, and thus back to Trump, it is not a gift to the government at all.

Baksheesh paid to Trump by Arabs.

If the aircraft is property of the Fed and not Trump personally, how is it corrupt?

TDS is so real.

While President Barack Obama was in office, two Kings of Saudi Arabia - King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud and King Salman - gave the President and his family $1.3 million in jewelry.

In 2011, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud gave First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters $300,000 worth of jewelry.

In 2014, First Lady Michelle Obama received a jewelry set from the former King that was valued at $560,000.

Finally, in 2015, King Salman gave President Obama a gold-plated silver horse sculpture that was valued at over half a million dollars.



CORRUPTION! OBAMA SHOULD BE IN PRISON!!!

Different.

And to think, the right wing had an absolute cow when a foreign furniture gift went home with the Clintons.... Sheesh. $40k vs $400 fricking million.....

Y'all are the ones with a derangement syndrome.... You have just turned and twisted yourselves inside out and upside down, since you fell in love with Trump.

RANT... Calm down...

[SassyIrishLass]

A FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR airplane

Already out:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/12/united-states-china-trade-war-eases/

We all know that Trump was panicking... He backed himself into a corner and didn't know that China have way more staying power that he has...
Globally, US is a laughing stock... It got itself in a hole with an idiot like Peter Navarro leading Trump around like dancing monkey... Then discovered that picked on the wrong country while eroding all trust with every other country...

Trump internationally looks like a idiot bully that jus got punched in the face... US looks weak, very weak..

I'm curious as to what you're going to do when Trump's tariffs result in much better trade deals for the US, Ted? Come here and apologize? Or just pretend that you never said what you did?

Trump makes ChiCom Joe look like a saint

What does a library need with a jet? It’s an obvious bribe.

of course it is a bribe

 

[CowboyTed]

Mmm .. what happened to the Obama and Biden's libraries ... I've heard the penny pinching bastards stole the contributions but eh, nobody cares..

You heard from who...

How about you put down links to where you 'heard ' this....

Don't expect much back...

You have nothing because there is nothing... You got RW pundits who make money telling you fantasies you want to here...

You get a little high on hearing this...

 

[TimFitz]

DOTARD is sowing division again


So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA

The only reason the current AF! is so old is that Trump screwed up the process during his last reign, requirling the Air Force to start from scratch on a plan they had largely finished.

And this is a flagrant bribe.

Which was already pointed out to you, although you tried to dance around and justify it.

It is NOT a gift to the United States. It's a flagrant bribe of Trump.

Quite the opposite.

Yes, it is. Perhaps you should read more than the X post or the cryon.

The terms state that the plane reverts to the ownership of the Trump Presidential Library Foundation, A.K.A Donald Trump.

That has been widely reported.

Why do you pretend that this is not what it it?????? A bribe.

sure it is.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Personally I don't have an issue with the Air Force accepting the 747-8 jet as a gift.

However there needs to be conditions:

#1 Qatar must gift the aircraft with no strings attached. It becomes the property of the United States Government in perpetuity with no conditions. That at some point in the future, as determined by the US Government it can be scrapped to save on maintenance costs, donated as per direction of Congress, or sold to the highest bider. That since it was donated to the Air Force and not President Trump, that it would not be transferred to a private Presidential Libary organization.

#2 The aircraft will be used for at least 10 years by the Air Forces as an air show symbol at events around the world as a "Aircraft Good Will Platform" and will be open to the public to demonstrate the close friendship between the people of Qatar and the people of the United States.

#3 Due to security concerns and the costs of safety and national security deep inspections and the costs of retrofitting communication and anti missiles systems the aircraft will remain unmodified but will never fly with the President onboard or fly with the designation of "Air Force 1" nor will it be designated a VC-25(series) within the Air Forces inventory.

Under those conditions the US would be happy to accept.
