“In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.”
Is this true? I know the president has been jonesing for a new plane. I guess he figured out how to get one.
“The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans.”
“Trump toured the plane, which is so opulently configured it is known as "a flying palace," while it was parked at the West Palm Beach International Airport in February.”
A flying palace. He must be in heaven.
“The highly unusual -- unprecedented -- arrangement is sure to raise questions about whether it is legal for the Trump administration, and ultimately, the Trump presidential library foundation, to accept such a valuable gift from a foreign power.”
You think? But luckily the DOJ came up with a tidy, and legal?, justification of why this apparent bribe isn’t a bribe at all. It just looks like one.
It’s really just a temporary ride for the prez, provided for the good of America I guess, because in reality it’s just going to become an exhibit for the future Trump library for visitors to enjoy.
Where to start? Our art-of-the-deal president just elevated payola to the highest level yet. A foreign government is giving him a multi-million dollar gift. Why?
But no worries. It’s all legal. And that’s what matters, in this instance anyway.
When he wants a new plane, the justice system is useful to get him one. When he wants to snatch people off the street, the justice system is the enemy.
This may be the most blatant corruption yet. And that’s saying something.
I bet Biden is wishing he had your kind of Congress when he was president. He could have had the earth, moon and stars just for the taking. No asking required.
He sure has a different concept of austerity for the good of the country than the rest of us.
Your president is being bought with shiny things.
