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

Illegal and unconstitutional.
But in your mind Trump is God and it's all ok.
No he isn't God, more like Mike Tyson. Because he has been bitch slapping you bitches around for the last 4 years. I mean you somehow took outdated misnomers and turned them into felonies and still couldn't put him away. In fact you got him reelected, thank you!
 
It’s a gift to the Trump Presidential Library after his term. the question being “Why does a library need a jet?”
the question being “Why does a library need a jet?”
who says it's going to get one?

"A Qatari official said the plane is technically being gifted from the Qatari Ministry of Defense to the Pentagon, describing it more as a government-to-government transaction instead of a personal one. "

That’s the plan. Did you only read the first part?
 
does that 'link' claim Trump will keep the plane?
In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

unknown sources?

then why is it being gifted from the Qatari Ministry of Defense to the Pentagon?

Why is Your source more in the know than mine?

Does ABC know more about it than CNN?

CNN is reporting the exact same information.
 
Why is this a problem? He's the president and gives it back when he leaves office. Do you leftists always need to bitch and moan?
Gifts like this aren't given back. They are for the use of the president, no matter who it is.

However, since it starts out "reportedly" it's not likely to be true at all.
 
It's illegal.
Of course not. Foreign governments give gifts to the United States. That's who we got the Resolute Desk and the Statue of Liberty. The plane isn't being given to Trump personally, but to the country to use as Air Force One. Air Force One, is an Air Force Aircraft.
 
Let's see if Trump really turns this over to his presidential library when he is out. I doubt it. But he'll play the system, lie, and his worshippers will excuse the probable violation of the Emoluments Clause.

Trump to accept $400 million 'flying palace' jet as gift from Qatar: report​

President Donald Trump is expected to accept the most valuable gift ever given to a U.S. president.

ABC News reported that the royal family of Qatar is prepared to gift a 747-8 jumbo jet for Trump's use as Air Force One until the end of his term, when the aircraft will be transferred to his presidential library.

Trump was said to have toured the "flying palace" when it visited Palm Beach in February.

"Sources told ABC News that Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump's top White House lawyer David Warrington concluded it would be 'legally permissible' for the donation of the aircraft to be conditioned on transferring its ownership to Trump's presidential library before the end of his term, according to sources familiar with their determination," ABC reported.


As if Biondi would tell Trump he can't do it.
 
From Norm Eisen, somebody that knows about "gifts"

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional The AG & the WH Counsel ought to be ashamed of themselves for allowing it.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden. Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered. He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office. And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal.
 
What a great way to kick off the grift.

Trump constantly boasts about how great things are, if he boasted how successful his grifting campaign is going to be, he would actually be right for once.
 
The plane would actually be property of the United States Airforce. So turning it over to a presidential library is just more democrat "reportedly".
 
Of course not. Foreign governments give gifts to the United States. That's who we got the Resolute Desk and the Statue of Liberty. The plane isn't being given to Trump personally, but to the country to use as Air Force One. Air Force One, is an Air Force Aircraft.
Don't we already have an Air Force One?

That must really be embarrassing for the Qataris. Giving us an Air Force One not realizing we already had one. Of course we will be gracious and appreciative, but what are we going to do with it? We could maybe re-gift it to say the president of Mexico, but if word of that gets back to Qatar, well we've all seen the Seinfeld episode about that.

I suppose we'll just have to keep it somewhere, probably at the back of the hanger where we keep the real Air Force One. We'll bring it out when Qatar comes to visit. "Oh yeah, it's great! We use it all the time! It's a great plane. Really."

Of course now we'll have to get them something in return. Maybe some oil. They don't have that, do they?

On the seriously off chance that President Trump were to accept such a gift, it wouldn’t be a gift to him. It would be a gift to the United States.

I also suspect that raw story has it wrong, anyway.
