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.

    I mean, in some cases these are people I’ve known for 20 years…

    But I’m sure you know them better than I do

      Sounds like you’re talking about a very specific anecdotal group of people, and they’re talking about the general trend.

      As someone also in a red state, I believe they’re right in general.
