tRump's Trojan Plane

After doing a bit more research, I've come to the conclusion that if Trump accepts this "gift," it will indeed be in violation of the constitution, since it would be considered a bribe from another country. Trump has improved America in a lot of ways already, but he's also made some pretty dumb mistakes, and I really hope that he doesn't accept Qatar's offer. If he does, then...I sure hope he knows what he's doing, because I don't.

I'm glad Trump won in 2024, but I'm also glad that he's not going to stick around forever, because he's nowhere near the perfect president.

Thank you for your thoughtful response, logray, and I agree with your interpretation of the Constitution. This seems like a clear example of a bribe, or an activity by the Qatari government, meant to curry favor inappropriately. Combine that "charitable" offer with his recent announcement that he's building his newest resort in Qatar. Wise politicians will avoid even the appearance of evil.

Go ahead Dems...defend this shit

The U.S. government has commissioned L3Harris to overhaul a Boeing 747 formerly used by the Qatari government. The Melbourne, Fla.-based company is tasked with retrofitting the plane with certain specialized systems to transform the luxury aircraft into a presidential jet.

It WAS not 'gifted' to Trump by the Qartari government. It was already here and on hand. Leftist political propagandists really should bother getting the entire story before slinging around their 'fake news'.

If not for double-standards, the Left would have no . . . well . . . everyone knows the rest.

If he accepts this "deal" it will have to be approved by congress. Right-Wing Propagandists need to read objective sources rather than going first to their spin doctors. Their policy is "Trump is always right & all he does is acceptable"-- then they work backwards from that premise. Try the wire services for awhile. But nice try-- I know it was your best effort. https://apnews.com/article/trump-qatar-deal-conflicts-saudi-arabia-emoluments-7379bee2e307d39bd43b534a05ae3207

Wait, it has to be approved by Congress? Oh good so there's hope.

Just because it was "already here and on hand" doesn't make it any less of a gift.

Yeah, it does.

A gift in return for the Trump Organization building a huge expensive golf complex in Qatar.
