The WSJ Editorial Board calls out the hypocrisy of attacking Hunter Biden for his questionable money-making schemes but giving Trump a pass, not only for accepting the plane as a gift but also for the Trump family’s making “much money in opaque sales of crypto-coins.”

«Mr. Trump’s plan to take the Qatari jet is a political gift to Democrats. The GOP objected, rightly and loudly, to Hunter Biden’s influence peddling abroad while his father was in high office, followed by his selling art at inflated prices while President Biden sat in the White House. Now the Trump family is making much money in opaque sales of crypto-coins, while Mr. Trump says it’s simply good sense to accept a free jumbo jet from Qataris bearing gifts.»

It will be 1 billion dollars and 2+ years to retrofit this thing so it can be used as Air Force 1. At that point the new ones will be up for delivery.

Where's DOGE?

Exactly. The US tax payers are paying for Trump's private plane reno because if he's done before he leaves office, it'll maybe, maybe, be done in time for him to use it for maybe 6 months. And then he's taking it with him.

And then there will many millions more as they will have to UNDO everything the do to make AF1 worthy. All of the advanced and hardened avionics and communications. Stealth measures. Defensive (and offensive) systems. Everything that goes on AF1 that cannot be used for civilian aircraft.

Waste, waste, waste.

The Qatari plane bribe gets more ridiculous. It’s a *used* plane (13 years old) that the USAF has to modify (a couple of billion). It’s a massive NatSec risk. And the person signing off on legality is AG Pam Bondi who, until recently, was being paid $115k/month as a Qatari lobbyist

And yet Trump said he'd have to be a "stupid" person to turn down a "free" gift. Lol.

Laws don't seem to apply to him. Has he not realized that there's a cap of 25$ on gifts for federal employees and strict conflict of interest rules? If not you have to disclose it and pay money to buy it back if you want to receive it personally.

HUNTER’S LAPTOP!!?1!!!

One wonders why trumpet said this, to distract from something else or to manipulate someone?

What could possibly be so bad that he's using this to distract people from it? If Trump and Qatar go forward with this plan he's getting impeached over it.

lol, no he won’t.

At what point do MAGAs wake up to what is happening....if Obama or Biden did this they'd be blowing a gasket and so would your MAGAs in congress....but now nothing?

I think when they start to suffer for real, that's when they wake up. Or else I guess that's when they say that the suffering makes them love Trump more.

Yes, because using MAGA math, Hunter Biden’s paintings (< $900,000 after gallery takes 40% cut and after taxes) > $400 million gift of a plane to Trump.

Don't forget about James Comer's big discovery that Hunter repaid Joe Biden for three car payments. He was all over the news with that. But a $400 million dollar plane that Trump gets to keep in a country he's doing business...nah, nothing to see here.

This is just a silly idea, beyond the ethical concerns.

I mean long enough to see it in his personal possessions.

At Trump's big age, it 50:50 whether he even lives long enough to see that plane.

But Con Air when Trump is onboard.

One of my favorite quotes from any movie: "On any other day, that might seem strange."
Well...in any other administration, this might seem strange.
