Summary
Trump lashed out at bipartisan critics after reports revealed he plans to accept a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet from Qatar for use as Air Force One.
In a Truth Social post, Trump dismissed concerns as “world class losers” complaining about a transparent gift. Qatar stated the plane is under legal review between its Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon.
Critics, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Chris Murphy, and Rep. Jamie Raskin, accused Trump of corruption and violating the Constitution.
Even allies like Laura Loomer led the MAGA pushback to the jet deal.
People just aren’t considering the arguments in favor of accepting it, such as how cool it would be to receive what might be the biggest bribe in the history of bribery.
Didn’t somewhere get a large wooden horse once?
Same thing; this one also carries enemies hell-bent on sacking and conqueroring. This is just an homage.
Pretty horse, though.
There’s sadly been much bigger bribes.
Even within his family.
It’s certainly the biggest one a president has openly accepted. By, like, 400 million dollars.
I was thinking the biggest single item.
Depends. Is the 2 billion deal for classified information one item, or divided by bits of intel?
It likely also has the best always-on one-way communication link to Qatar that money can buy.
