Summary

Trump lashed out at bipartisan critics after reports revealed he plans to accept a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet from Qatar for use as Air Force One.

In a Truth Social post, Trump dismissed concerns as “world class losers” complaining about a transparent gift. Qatar stated the plane is under legal review between its Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon.

Critics, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Chris Murphy, and Rep. Jamie Raskin, accused Trump of corruption and violating the Constitution.

Even allies like Laura Loomer led the MAGA pushback to the jet deal.

    So…is anyone not thinking that the plane is absolutely chock full of spying devices? I mean sure Trump is too stupid to think of it as anything other than a tribute to his greatness but is there a single sane person there?

      Oh, this jet is going to have more bugs than a rainforest. It will be hilarious and compromising.

        And just wait until he starts keeping classified documents in the airplane lavatory next to the photocopier.

        I can’t remember did I actually read it or hallucinated it, but I remember something about trump “selling” (auctioned?) “dinner with Trump” events and most of the tickets are bought out by “foreign influence”. He is clearly selling “chance to influence trump over dinner” tickets knowingly.
