To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding. A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September. When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it. You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade. In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency. With Trump, it’s Wednesday. https://t.co/qAfVUp8KBd
