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.

I thought it was a gift to the defense department a gift to the U.S. Air force to be used by the presidents until Boeing gets their act together and gets the Air Force One built. Once it is decommissioned to goes to the Trump Library. Does not really matter it is an awesome gift. Dems are not used to gifts they are only used to bribes and hush money so the thought of a gift scares them.

@houseonfire Gifts *are* bribes!

@houseonfire
It cannot be used by the Defense Dept because it lacks the necessary components of a Presidential airborne Oval Office... which is what Air Force 1 is, is an airborne Oval Office, not a luxury jet for fun times!

@zonavar68 lol I have gotten many gifts and have never excepted a bribe a gift is a bribe if your a democratic crook. When Biden got a gift it was a bribe because he did so many behind the scene deals to enrich the Biden crime family. Ukraine got gifts that were bribes because they had so much on the Biden family they said give us a gift or we spill the Burisma beans

@houseonfire Sorry Qatar giving Trump a plane is an out-and-out *bribe* for favourable business, tariff, military, etc. treatment. Jihadists in Suits .com

@zonavar68 Come on that plane is like you giving me a 20, money means nothing to them. They are laughing that the left is making such a big deal about a plane.

A gift is open bribery. It's like an open relationship. There is no guilt.

Prove it.

And by saying that you’ve also admitted that this plane, if given to Biden or Harris under exactly the same circumstances, would be a bribe in your opinion.

You’re just a MAGA apologist.

@houseonfire how much do you get paid to spew these nonsense?

Nailed it. Which is why Trump and the rest of MAGA feel no guilt or shame in accepting the gift.
