This would be a scandal that would have ended any other presidency.
Qatar gave a $400 million Boeing 747 to the Pentagon. Trump calls it a “free” gift. It is not free. The Air Force just spent months retrofitting it with secure communications, missile defense, and electromagnetic shielding.
The cost of that work is classified.
Estimates say north of a billion.
The number is enormous, and you are paying it.
Now the part they bury.
Under the memorandum signed by the Pentagon and Qatar, ownership of the plane transfers to Trump’s presidential library foundation when he leaves office. His own son says it will sit in the lobby of a future Trump hotel.
So follow the chain.
A foreign government hands a luxury jet to a sitting president. American taxpayers rebuild it from the inside out. Then Trump takes it home.
A gift you use for four years and then keep is still a gift. The Constitution bars foreign gifts to a president without the consent of Congress. This one never got that consent.
We are paying a fortune to gift wrap a luxury jet that ends up in his private collection.
Grift in plain sight.

Imagine calling Biden sleepy Joe For 4 years.
And then you elect a guy who falls asleep at a Knicks game, during meetings, in court.
MAGAs are parodies of themselves
Trump on Joe Biden (2024): “He has an ability to fall asleep while on camera…in minutes, he’s stone-cold out…You’ll never see me sleeping in front of a camera.”
This is Officer
Caroline Edwards.
She was attacked by the insurrectionists on January 6th. They cracked her heac open, resulting in a permanent brain injury.
For all those who support Trump's pardons and say you
"back the blue". You don't. You support fascism.
Republican C-SPAN caller: “It’s hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public it might help others… I regret my support for Trump, and I should’ve known better. He’s a con man. A liar. The worst, most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”
