Trump to accept luxury jet from Qatar's royal family. Is this right or wrong?

President Donald Trump is poised to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the Qatari royal family that will be converted as the new Air Force One.

In essence, the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction. "It so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that!" Trump said. "The Dems are World Class Losers!!!"

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump's top White House lawyer, David Warrington, concluded it would be "legally permissible" for the jet to be donated as long as it is transferred to Trump’s presidential library before his term ends.

All gifts actually belong to the US, not the person. Even when given to a person. So no issue here, if any of it's TRUE.

@nudistsueaz The hoops you MAGATs jump through to deny the obvious: this is a Bribe. Change the word “Trump” to “Biden” and you’ll be changing your excuse soon enough 🤭

@iamthe99 No hoops at all, just the law. It seems some are really confused by the difference.

So why, then, was Hillary Clinton not allowed to keep a $425 necklace that was given to her by the Prime Minister of Bangladesh in 2012?

I don't expect an answer.

@iamthe99 Because it belongs to the federal government

@nudistsueaz So why is Trump allowed to keep a 400 million dollar plane which also belongs to the federal government? Can't have it both ways.

nudistsueaz · 61-69, F

@iamthe99 He won't. He has already said it will go to the Air Force. It won't be like Clinton's helicopter gift.

@nudistsueaz no it’s being used as air force one. And then it will be his. It’s a bribe. Deal with it.

nudistsueaz · 61-69, F

@iamthe99 No and he will never fly on it. Are you disappointed?

nudistsueaz · 61-69, F

@nudistsueaz What country do you live in?

iamthe99 · M

@nudistsueaz we’ll see about that. The very fact that he has accepted it means it is a bribe. He promised to build a billion dollar golf resort in Doha. Within hours he has a brand new plane

nudistsueaz · 61-69, F

@iamthe99 Not at all. Gifts are exchanged between countries all the time. This is nothing new at all. Besides Trump has his own personal jet. Easily spotted, it says TRUMP, in large letters along both sides. I noticed you don't list your country, odd.

@nudistsueaz deflection noted. This was not a gift to America, this was a gift to Trump. It is corruption in plain sight.
