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.

@AP A federal judge just ordered that Trump’s name be removed from the Kennedy Center within the next 14 days. Trump’s Birthday is in about 14 days.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It’s a perfect gift! Take that you mofo.
@POTUS
🤡 Talk about Trump success stories —
He said “ I’m the best businessman in the World because I know how to negotiate “
1. Bought Trump Plaza Hotel for $ 400 Million - repossessed by the Bank
2. Bought his yacht for $ 29 Million - repossessed by the bank
3. Built 4 casinos at the cost of $ 3 Billion - filled for bankruptcy and went out of business.
4. Started Trump Airlines - Planes and helicopters repossessed by CitiBank
5. Trump Mortgage, Trump Vodka, Trump steaks 🥩 - all went out of business
Overheard- The tragedy is not that Trump is insane, liar, bully . The tragedy is that everyone around him is too FCUKING cowardly to stop him
This is a fair question to all evangelical Christians, including myself:
“Dear conservative evangelicals;
You gave him a pass on “grab them by the pussy.”
You don’t mind that he’s an Olympics-class liar.
A thirty-four count fraud conviction didn’t faze you.
Not even an adjudication of rape bothered you.
He’s mentioned in the Epstein documents literally 38,000 times. You don’t find it odd that he’s personally blocking the release of three million of those files.
He’s the most corrupt politician in American history.
He’s broken all ten of the Ten Commandments. Including taking the lives of 153 little girls whose only crime was being in school. And then he lied about it.
He doesn’t go to your church. He doesn’t go to ANY church.
He cheats at golf.
He cheats at business.
He cheats contractors.
He cheats on his wives.
He cheats in elections.
He’s profane.
Crooked.
Disrespectful.
Selfish.
Driven by greed.
By ego.
By revenge.
Yet here you are worshipping a golden idol in his likeness.
So what is it about YOU that makes you a Christian?

@russellquirk@reformexposed No you haven't, you've lied repeatedly.
Honesty and integrity are part of the Nolan Principles every cllr is held to and you've failed in the first week multiple times.
@MarcoFoster_@LsfarmLw Wild what an ignorant dumfuk you have to be to support tearing up the Iran deal and then going to war — wrecking the economy & killing American troops hoping to get the original deal you tore up 😭 😭 😭
President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”
@SirWinston85@krassenstein And remember when Trumps kids stole from a children’s cancer charity, & Ivana got a deal for caskets from China right before her Mom was pushed, I mean fell down those stairs, or saying they never got money from Russia, or the money they made at the WH in the first term or…

This is beyond outrageous.
Openly, shamelessly, without fear of anyone, he is robbing America right in front of the entire country — robbing all of us.
Kaitlan Collins, host of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, described the situation this way:
“Imagine suing the government for $10 billion while also being the person who controls that very government. That’s exactly what is happening right now. Donald Trump, sitting in the White House, has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the Treasury Department and the IRS — the very Treasury he controls, the very IRS he oversees, the very government he leads.
He is effectively both the plaintiff and the defendant, and he wants taxpayers — you, me, every working family in America — to hand him $10 billion. Just think about that.”
Trump even appeared on television boasting that he had already “won,” essentially bragging that he was negotiating a settlement with himself.
Then his lawyers walked into federal court asking for a 90-day delay — not to fight the lawsuit, but to “reach an agreement.” An agreement between Donald Trump and Donald Trump, paid for with your money.
But then something unexpected happened.
Judge Kathleen Williams looked at this circus and basically said: “Wait a second. You are telling me you are suing yourself and expect me to approve a $10 billion payment from the U.S. Treasury directly into your personal pocket? Absolutely not.”
She rejected the 90-day delay. She demanded separate reports from both sides — despite both sides effectively being controlled by the same person. Then she took the extraordinary step of appointing three of the nation’s most respected law firms as independent advisers to the court.
Why?
Because $10 billion of taxpayer money is at stake.
What is really happening here is terrifying: a sitting president allegedly using the power of his office, and a Justice Department under his influence, to settle a personal lawsuit with himself and funnel public money into his own bank account.
Constitutional law already has a name for this: a collusive lawsuit.
The Supreme Court ruled on this principle more than 200 years ago. If both sides are effectively the same party, the courts have no authority to proceed. The Constitution requires a real conflict, real opposing sides — not a friendly deal between a man and his reflection in the mirror.
And this is not some isolated stunt. Critics argue it is part of a broader strategy: stage a fake legal battle, force a surrender, cash the check, and walk away.
But this time the number is staggering: $10 billion.
Money that could repair roads, fund schools, support veterans, or feed hungry children.
Instead, critics say it is being redirected through one of the most transparent legal scams America has ever witnessed.
And the people supposed to defend the public interest? The Justice Department. Government officials whose job is to protect taxpayers.
They are not fighting. They are not even pretending to fight.
The judge sees it. Top legal scholars see it. The Constitution itself sees it.
The only remaining question is whether the system still has enough courage to say “No.”
Because if a president can sue himself and pay himself with public money, then the word “government” no longer means anything.
It simply means: the person holding the pen writes the check — and everyone else pays the bill.
Beautiful weekend for a LIV golf tournament at Trump National in VA. Sure would be a shame if it were ruined by this ad running on heavy rotation on the Golf Channel in the club house and targeting every phone in the vicinity. Oh. Wait. 😈🏴☠️
