How is this legal? Qatar “donates” a $400 million luxury Boeing to Trump. It will be used as Air Force One for now and later for Trump’s Presidential Library.

  1. Lol If he cares so much why wouldn’t he purchase another one from Boeing?
    Taking a fricken handout from Qatar is such a joke. I can’t even get football tickets from my customers with our breaking a rule lol.

    What a world we’re living in.

  2. I don’t think it’s going to be used as AF1. Maybe that’s the story but there are security issues.

  4. Have you not been paying attention? It’s only legal when Republicans do it.

  5. Wow… he gets angry when Democrats are in power and saying they are abusing power and now when he does it, he says it’s not illegal…

  7. This is only legal if it remains the property of the United States when Trump leaves office. It is absolutely illegal for it to go to his library foundation.

  8. It’s not, but he was not brought up on charges for violating the emoluments clause of the US Constitution the first time he was president. It is up to congress to indict him and I don’t see the corrupt Republicans ever doing that. So, WTF does he care if it is illegal.\?

  10. As an ordinary American citizen, I wish I could buy $400M of influence.

  11. Oh, I suppose he’ll be impeached over this too…or maybe not.

    Maybe not is probably the answer. 

    So back to watching sports.

  12. > “Nothing says ‘America First’ like Air Force One, brought to you by Qatar,”

    And note that after Trump’s presidency the jet will go to the Trump library where he can use it privately for himself. This is a $400m bribe!

  13. The headline on the link is “Qatar says no final decision made on gifting Trump a jet to use as Air Force One”. Obviously it would be bad if it happens but we also don’t need posts saying it’s happening when the damn headline is that no decision has been made. Just make a post saying it’s being discussed! The facts are bad enough to stand on their own without embellishment.

  14. Apart from being a straight up bribe, this plane will be absolutely filled with listening devices.

  15. It’s not legal.

    If Congress had a spine they could take the plane away from Trump.

  16. It’s likely not legal but who in their government is going to do anything?

  17. As long as it involves Trump, nothing is illegal.

  18. It’s not legal. We have no laws for our President now. We are living in a dictatorship and nobody is doing anything to stop it. It’s like a really bad nightmare.
