Apparently the plane has been on sale for a long time & hasn’t sold. It’s like donating a used vehicle to a charity. But 47 is so focused on luxury it’s enticing to him. He doesn’t get the risk of Qatar spying on him & our country.

If Biden got a free plane, MAGA would be screaming for impeachment.

Terms matter:

Bribe: to persuade someone to act in ones favor, typically illegally/dishonestly, by a gift of money/other inducement.

Corruption: dishonest/fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

Both definitions fit Trump taking that Quatari jet.

Now, the Congress has 3 choices:

1 - They can vote to accept the convicted felon's plane.

2 - They can begin impeachment proceedings for the bribe.

3 - They can crawl back under their rocks and ignore the bribe.

The last will be easy for Republicans because they lost their spines years ago!

I will be wearing this 8647 shirt in front of MAGAs 👇

Trump offered many US defense contracts to the Qatari government during his first term because he was making millions from real estate sales with the Royal Al-Thani family. His second term is a huge expansion of the ongoing grift.

Massive numbers of rural hospitals have already shut down. More rural hospitals are at risk of closure and many skilled nursing facilities are vulnerable due to decreased funding of Medicaid.

This gorgeous Boeing 747 is worthless. The $400M "price tag" refers to how much money has been spent on it. A flying money pit. But - as we all know, an item is "worth" what anyone is willing to pay for it. So far, no one has made an offer. The Qatari could donate it to the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum. But it still would require fine-tooth combing for booby traps (what an appropriate term). Even Good Will would turn it down.

The entire point of refusing the plane is the massive upkeep. It will probably cost a billion dollars, even without making it secure. That’s why he’s giving it to his “library” so he can avoid the maintenance and operating costs

Trump won't go inside a library much less build one. That will take money out of his hands.

I presume he's never been inside a public library. (Harlan Crow's library springs to mind). But can you hear him say, "Libary. That's an old fashioned word, right? Does anyone remember libraries? What even IS a library? Everything I need is on my phone and in my gut."

It’s not a gift to the American taxpayers - it will cost a fortune to refurbish and maintain-Qatar couldn’t find a buyer for the opulent ugly Aircraft and it was costing them a lot of money to store and maintain so they dumped on America- tRump duped again 😂

Trump simply doesn't care about the security risks. He cares about money, luxury and power. He would gladly sell out the US and destabilize the world for vastly less than an old pimped out hand me down airplane.

The entire Trump family is nothing more than grifters, frauds and charlatans.

Sen. Schiff - It is great to see you on all these different venues! Keep it up! Have you considered going on with Brian Cohen? That is where my college student son says he is getting his news :)

When I worked at Rockwell International as a subcontract administrator building the B-1B bomber under government Air Force contract, we weren’t allowed to accept a gift over $25 from our suppliers. This was so an employee could accept a gift like a pen or a notepad. If we went to lunch with a supplier we were to pay for our own lunch out of our pocket. A meal couldn’t be expensed to the contract.

Ha! Just like shallow Trump that he wants a gas-guzzling plane that has been for sale for four years and No One Wants! Like most shallow people, he likes anything that glitters and shines. Hey, Trump, I have some iron pyrite I will sell you so you can add it to your gold toilet for decoration!
