The President of the United States is going to be flying around in a plane made by and gifted to him by a foreign government. I’m sure that’s no security risk at all.
Why not just invite Qatar to the Signal chat?
The list for impeachment charges for 2027 just keep getting longer.
It will undoubtedly be packed with surveillance equipment from Qatar, UAE, Russia & North Korea.
Trump has to keep his owners in the loop.
We should gift Trump to Qatar to match the Gift 😏
i’m confused why something like this plane, basically infrastructure, is not staying with the government. Why on earth would this instead go to Trump personally?
There is no way this is legal or what our founders intended.
Sure it's not....sarcasm dripping from my voice.
Remember when the WH press corp were in a tizzy over the fact that Kamala Harris bought good quality cookware in Paris.
Meanwile--they will shrug their shoulders at this brazen and wildly illegal act of corruption--btw...palace in the sky, comes with state-of-the-art "listening" system.
LIBRARY? You’ve got to be kidding!! He doesn’t read.
Not a bribe? Then what is it?? Biden & the other presidents didn’t get one.
Every single time somebody's given me a $400 million airplane, later it turned out they wanted something in return
So many things this administration is doing are things that I never thought about happening but make sense through the lens of …
“Make America Super Corrupt”
(notice I did NOT put “Again” at the end of this slogan because AMERICA HAS NEVER BEEN THIS CORRUPT! 😠)
And yet federal employees have to report gifts over $20 and have them scanned for collection devices before they’re taken into a secure facility. 🙄
This is absolutely a bribe.

5 CFR § 2635.204 - Exceptions to the prohibition for acceptance of certain gifts.
So this plane won't be protected like all other Air Force One's have been, is that what I'm understanding here?
"Library"! Ha.
EVERYTHING HE DOES IS TO MAKE RICH FOLKS RICHER.
everyone else pays the price
Jfc
I don't care anymore. I don't care if Reps win a super majority in both chambers. I don't care if Trump's son runs in 2028 and wins. I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
I don't even care if Dems win in 2026 both chambers. They can't be trusted anymore.
No one cares. All we do is cry on social media. Russia wins
Emolument clause?
What emolument clause?
We don't need no stinkin' emolument clauses!
I demand all of it! NOW!
If the plane is not a bribe, is it the golf course he is building in Qatar?
Arab money smells good. Even Netanyahu would accept it. Those two bastards!
This has to be the stupidest thing he's done. who does this and why is this even remotely legal WTF
The DOJ says it is not a bribe because the White House told them to say that.
Bribe or not, it cannot be accepted by Trump without paying compensatory value to the Treasury, if he wants it transferred to his library.
Or “Trump administration poised to accept $400 M bribe from Qatar”
Bullshit it is definitely a bribe!
In my Rod Serling voice: imagine if you will a president so openly corrupt that he makes Nixon look like a choir boy.
It’s going to be really funny if when it’s gifted to the library they are somehow forced to keep it grounded there.
Not going to get away with this one.
lol he’s gonna fly around in a used plane ✈️ only previously used by a little old lady from Qatar. Very low miles.
The amount of bribes he has accepted would cover our much needed programs funding. Unethical Pig steals from Americans.
Booby trapped.
How much will the admission be to the Trump Presidential
Library?
The U.S. badly needs a Nuremberg 2.0 process but it has no politicians bold enough to implement it.
Yet an IRS employee will be fired for accepting a “gift” over $25. More rules for the peasant class that royalty ignores.
How is this ok??
Needs a self destruct switch
Start the clock on the bribe plane sliding into the sea
Yet.
With the plane there, at least there'll be *something* in his library.
