@RichardCisneroe@AndyB213@krassenstein Don’t you understand it? He thinks if he states it, that’s all the proof you need! I wonder where he gets his narcissism from?
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.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
@PrayVoteEngage@PatriotMobile As a Christian and a human being, I wholeheartedly agree. And spend my money with companies that don’t support a horrific man who is cruel, abusive, greedy, and a terrible “leader” for our country. Open your eyes fellow Christians.
@ReiszSandra@Kelli_J_Kelly@krassenstein What’s really funny is you didn’t deny the rest of it. Just the “pedo” part. You claim to be a Christian and yet you support him. Embarrassing. Disgusting. I am a Christian and I have voted Republican in the past. This man is a monster. Do better.
@Moms4Liberty And did you award the student that pointed out that several Founding Fathers were Unitarian, which was one of the denominations now not “recognized” by the Trump administration?
@fl__patriot@toddstarnes Maybe she doesn’t want to play for “leader” who doesn’t understand that this birthday should celebrate the melting pot of races, religions, & freedoms that America was created to be. I’m guessing she would have played for a Republican, just not a hateful King wanna-be like Trump.
I didn’t vote for Donald Trump because I thought he was flawless.
I voted because I thought he was the last off-ramp.
The lesser of two evils… with a promise that actually meant something.
No new wars.
End the old ones.
Put America First.
That message hit hard. It felt like a reset.
But look around now.
Conflicts aren’t ending — they’re multiplying.
Billions are still pouring overseas.
Military support keeps expanding into places most Americans can’t even point to on a map.
And back home?
People are drowning quietly.
Groceries cost more every week.
Families are hanging on by a thread.
Veterans — the ones who already gave everything — are still sleeping on the streets.
Debt is crushing. Stress is everywhere.
So I keep coming back to one question:
What happened to America First?
Because this doesn’t feel like it.
This feels like the same machine… just repainted.
I didn’t vote for global escalation.
I didn’t vote to fund the world while Americans fall behind.
I voted for peace abroad and stability at home.
And right now?
That promise feels further away than ever.
This isn’t just disappointment anymore.
People are starting to wake up.
They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.
They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.
They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.
They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.
They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.
They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.
They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.
They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.
To be a MAGA is to be a slave.
Not physically, but mentally.
They stand for nothing.
We're up against people who stand for nothing.
And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.
We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.
The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.
I don't even want to argue with them anymore.
