Qatar is going to give the new AF1 to Trump personally when he leaves office

Anonymous
The Trump library will consist of one Hustler magazine and a Chinese takeout menu.
Oh yeah and a big beautiful plane.

Corrupt as F—- but who’s going to stop him? Republicans in Congress have demonstrated very and over that they do not care, and most of their constituents don’t either.

Um, hello? Trump is the sitting US president . It's not a gift, it's a bribe.

How’s that going to work? He will die or become home bound, but his family will fly around in this fake AF1 for another decade? And who pays for fuel? Pilot salary?

Lara Loomer doesn’t like it, even though she’d take a bullet for the felon.

If it’s a gift to the US government, what’s the logic in transferring it to the Trump library afterward? That makes no sense. The required transfer date (1/1/2029) is an admission that they all know it’s as corrupt as hell. Make sure to get it done before they lose the Presidency.

There's an article in the Post about this...apparently there's a loophole where there are no restrictions on donations to presidential library funds. Presidents can even solicit gifts while they are still in office. Crazy.

The temporary "gift" to the government is just a way for Trump to travel in extra luxury on his taxpayer-funded hops back and forth between Washington and his golf resorts.

I don't get how this is even supposed to work or what the point is.

Corruption issues notwithstanding,

- what will be used for a backup plane?
- won't it still take years to modify an existing plane to meet Secret Service and DoD specifications for presidential transport?
- what is the point of adding a single plane of a new type that does not currently exist in USAF inventory? how will issues like pilot certification and spare parts be handled?

Even if the plane is "free," none of this makes any sense.

Last I checked Lara Loomer has no power to actually do anything about it.

It doesn’t have to take years, get rid of the red tape and it can be months.

No. The entire plane needs to be disassembled, all systems need to be EMP-hardened, the electrical system needs to be reworked to accommodate the needed communications equipment, manuals need to be written, test flights need to be made, etc. This is a military aircraft and not a commercial one; it would also be the first of its type to enter the fleet. None of this is simple.

As usual media and Democrats will pick on one stupid thing to outrage over for months until everyone gets exhausted of it instead of concentrating their mental energy on figuring out how to win over his low-IQ supporters. They have totally lost the plot.

I mean, at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump were massacring puppies and babies every day in the Oval Office. I can’t spare the outrage. I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GET MAGA TO STOP VOTING FOR HIM.


Dems will never win over maga. They need to focus on turning out their own base. Most of maga only votes for Trump anyway and will stay in their basements for future elections.


I’m good with that. I wish Dems would figure out how to make that happen.

It makes perfect sense. Calling it AF1 is just a mechanism to overtly launder a plane for Trump. The corruption is breathtaking, even for him.

Trump Organization is opening a new golf resort in Qatar!!

This is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL!!!!!

The grift could not be more open and brazen.

Where is the American Bar Association at this moment? It should be urging all the bar associations of each state where these lying lawyers are barred to disbar each and every one of them. Bondi says this is "legal"???? WTF????? Disbar her now!! Where is the DC bar? Drunk? in the sack with the maggots? or with Putin? Or both?


It’s starting to make more sense…
