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

[schmidlap]

What is the next Prince or King going to gift Trump that can outdo Qatar?


Sheesh!

Some potentate could buy off the self-indulgent old geezer with a subscription to tariff-free colonic irrigation.

Sheesh!

Qatar also agreed to a $5.5Bn gold resort with Trumpco recently. You have to top both.

Specifically how?

The Foreign Emoluments Clause, found in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution, prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts, emoluments, offices, or titles from foreign governments without congressional consent. Its primary purpose is to prevent foreign influence and corruption of American officers.

Key aspects of the Foreign Emoluments Clause:

• Scope:
  It applies to all persons holding any office of profit or trust under the United States, meaning it extends to appointed positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
  
  
• Purpose:
  The clause aims to ensure that federal officials remain loyal to the United States and are not swayed by foreign interests or inducements.
  
  
• "Emolument":
  This term generally refers to any compensation, profit, or advantage derived from holding an office.
  
  Congress's Role:
  The clause requires congressional consent for any foreign emolument, gift, or title accepted by a federal official.
  
  
  
• emoluments clause
  

What about the statue of Liberty?

Not the same.
Grover Cleveland didn't get to put The Statue of Liberty in his presidential library once he left office.

The pearl clutchers and make it up media are fast to the fainting couch once again. Oh my God Trump is acting like he’s POTUS , powerful and influential. All things the lib loon cripples hate. the uber well off do this from time to time but OMG it’s a BRIBE . You menstruating maniacs need to get a grip

 

[Delldude]

It'll take years to retrofit!

I doubt that seriously.

An unnamed Defense Department official told The New York Times on Sunday it would take a while to secure a contract to make the upgrades, and then actually modify the plane, saying: “We’re talking years, not months.”

It's Trump's plane...why would it be decommissioned and sent to his library?

No it wouldn't be..............donated through DOD to the Air Force means it's government property......period.
Try rational thinking here.
The Boeing delivery was scheduled for 2024.............Boeing has been in dire straits for some time. I'd bet Biden told them not to worry about it, so they sat for his failed presidency.

If it were a GIFT to the AF it would stay with the Air Force....and not be decommissioned when Trump leaves and go with him.

Decommissioned means as Air Force One, retired from active duty, still owned by the US Government. Trump would have to buy it from the government and it makes little sense as He already uses a 757 which is more fuel efficient and cheaper to operate, as a former prez.

What purpose was in it for Qatar to give the USA $400,000,000 dollars? Why would they want to do such a thing?

Good point. A federal official won't be getting this gift.

Thank you the Trump Organization being involved in their $5,500,000,000 development project that was announced just before the JET-PRO-QUO story came out?

When I loan my neighbor my lawn mower, it’s not a gift. He does not keep it. There is no owing me as a requirement. It does foster better relationships but see you TDS cases want Turmoil and Not good relationships because You exist in and for turmoil.

 

[Delldude]

Really so funny in a TDS kinda way. This is only being talked about.

 

[jknowgood]

Trump getting the jet really burns your ass, that amuses me.

 

[jknowgood]

I knew you would be unable to document your lie regarding dementia, but felt it only right that I should ask.

If you couldn't see it, you're to ignorant to vote.

 

[jknowgood]

Nope! I would see a huge problem, and so would YOU. BE HONEST!

Bull crap, you wouldn't of had a problem with Biden doing it. You didn't care what Biden did, even when it came out he took inappropriate showers with his daughter.

You don't even seem to be aware that the convict has already stated the plane will go to HIS presidential library once he is out of office, meaning HE will still own it.
Question; how have you missed that part?
Is it possible that your blind, unquestioning devotion to him gets in the way of you using reason and common sense?

The operative word is “library”

Presidential libraries, including their buildings and collections, are owned by the United States government and managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). While these libraries are often built with private funds and then transferred to the federal government, their ownership and management ultimately rest with the U.S. government. The Presidential Libraries Act of 1955 and subsequent amendments established this system of privately built, federally maintained libraries
