@RpsAgainstTrump Aimlessly? An heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, an accomplished Yale & Stanford educated attorney, a caring congressman — I highly doubt he is wandering aimlessly.
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.

@OwenShroyer1776@ImBreckWorsham Unless I got it all wrong over these last 10 long years, Trump doesn’t “address” things. He a) lies, b) denies, c) deflects or d) insults — friends & foes alike.
The guy has no ideology except what serves him in the moment.
@ClaraJeffery@atrupar I didn’t even know who that was. At first I thought it was Trump‘s cousin or doppelgänger falling asleep. Oh well. He’s not the Knicks dude we were rooting for. That’s for certain. And what an awesome speech! 🧡💙🏀
@Timcast we are a country where our president tries to clean and repair a national monument and fucks it up bigly
what the ever living fuck is wrong with this regime
