This should be why your kids have no faith in Trump. Someone recently posted a copy of a 2008 letter from Obama’s office returning a gift (a book) a constituent had sent. His office thanked the sender kindly but said Senator Obama had a no gift policy and wanted to adhere to it strictly given the recent scandals with congressional gifts. All politicians do not behave the way Trump is behaving. He’s accepted 300mn$ in crypto from a Chinese firm, a 400$mn Qatar plane and announced Saudi hotel deals just in a single week. |
How does this affect you? Seriously, what impact does this have on your life? |
It’s no better than what he has, and less better than what is already in process of being built for presidential use. I think the only thing he likes is use after presidency - but may take years to remove all added security features.
It seems he is accepting his term will end and he wants a plane - I think this all started because he was able to refuse Biden a ride on AF1 for pope funeral and it got him thinking… |
Well, we live in a country run by a bunch of traitorous maga whores who are stealing our money and data to enrich themselves and their handlers. Now their “leader” is on a global dictator fellatio tour, openly accepting bribes. You don’t think that this affects us all? Fine, though, if we are going to play that that stupid game can the maga chuds agree to back off of things that don’t affect them? There is a whole list of things that they can STFU about, starting with reproductive rights. |
It’s petty, but petty is the language that Donald speaks.

DP but...this plane is not truly free. The government is going to have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to completely take apart and rebuild the plane in order to secure it for service as AF1. So as a taxpayer, this is the kind of expense I'd like DOGE to take a look at. |
So the new plane is 13 years old? Sounds like a bad deal.
What a moron. |
What's more, unlike the two new Boeing planes which are long-term investments to support the office of the president, this investment is for the benefit of one person: Trump. They're saying the quiet part out loud here. |
Sure. let's live in a dog eat dog world with no moral code or rule of law. What could possibly go wrong? how could this possibly cause me problems? You must be a troll, because all humans (except maybe trump) instinctively know that they don't want to live in anarchy. |
NP. The clutching of pearls over this is so funny. The US is very transactional. The fact that Trump is doing this openly is the difference. You are the troll. |
Trump is not the US fool. The US belongs to you and me not trump. We have a plane for the president. We are capable of making our own Plane to replace it. If Qatar wants to give Trump this plane, give it to him after he is no longer the president of the United States. Then can give him they want. |
Be honest: how would you have reacted if Obama had accepted a plane from Qatar? |
If my tax dollars are going to pay for this plane, I want to be able to use it. It’s mine, right? It was a gift to the US right? |
Ok, you are definitely a troll. |
Which is more likely? Someone (millions of someones, really) with a sense of civilization is pretending to not have one, and voting for Donald Trump and supporting him as a joke, or that a solid fraction of Americans actually believe that ethics are for losers? |
