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.

People just aren’t considering the arguments in favor of accepting it, such as how cool it would be to receive what might be the biggest bribe in the history of bribery.
the biggest bribe in the history of bribery.
Didn’t somewhere get a large wooden horse once?
Same thing; this one also carries enemies hell-bent on sacking and conqueroring. This is just an homage.
Pretty horse, though.
…honestly, I kinda want one.
Fuck AI slop
It likely also has the best always-on one-way communication link to Qatar that money can buy.
Is 400 million more than Kushner got from the Saudis for his apartment buildings?
There’s sadly been much bigger bribes.
Even within his family.
It’s certainly the biggest one a president has openly accepted. By, like, 400 million dollars.
I was thinking the biggest single item.
Depends. Is the 2 billion deal for classified information one item, or divided by bits of intel?
Hear me out… what if this is them doing the us a “favor”
Why is thedailybeast of all outlets posting a headline that assumes trump is in any way not demented?
Have they ever heard him speak?
Wait, donvict has a mind?
First of all, he is not “losing his mind”. You cannot lose what you already lost decades ago.
I mean, dementia, Alzheimer’s, syphilis syndrome, 70 years of big macs, all impacting a brain that was so fuckin’ dumb he lost money running casinos.
hard to say…
I’d go even further. You can’t lose what you’ve never had.
One man’s beautiful gift is almost everyone else’s blatant corruption.
But think of the money to be made, after his term is up, being able to tune in on this country’s secret communications. I’m sure Trump’s thinking, why not?
Maybe we will get lucky and he’ll invite musk and other billionaire backers into the plane for its first official flight, at which point Boeing plane does what it does best coupled with a crippled FAA… one can dream.
I would like that. Reminds me of that time when 16 Russian admirals bit the dust due to their grift…
Hope he paid the 10% tarrif on that $400 mil plane being shipped here from another country lol
I saw it in some xitter screenshot. The tariff was the 5.5 billion golf course on his name.
Tariffs for thee, not for me.
That constitution is becoming a real barrier for Trump.
Is it though?
He ain’t got no mind to lose.
He’s losing a lot of support…
One of the joys of living in a red state, is plenty of uninformed people voted for him. A shit ton of them are saying they’re not voting again.
But with an actual impartial DNC chair, once we get a candidate (especially if it’s a charismatic one who’s economically progressive) it’s gonna be easy to get them to vote D like with Obama.
But with the dnc’s track record, them not voting is the best we can have right now.
it’s gonna be easy to get them to vote D
I’m not saying to give up on trying to reach them, but there’re people that have never put a ‘D’ on a ballot in their lives. A more “moderate” Republican candidate will just be an excuse to feel justified in their hatred and bigotry again.
Don’t be fooled. They will fall in line again. They will vote for Trump again if they have to. They’ll have to stop [insert boogeyman here].
We’re also on track for voting to barely matter by that point, unless something massive changes first.
I mean, in some cases these are people I’ve known for 20 years…
But I’m sure you know them better than I do
Sounds like you’re talking about a very specific anecdotal group of people, and they’re talking about the general trend.
As someone also in a red state, I believe they’re right in general.
Nah you just underestimate the power of propaganda and cognitive dissonance.
Trump is a disgrace
Trump is a insider threat.

Ah. What a guy. Calling his constituents, who he pledged to protect, “losers”
He’s the best. Everyone’s saying it. Some say he’s the best ever… And, listen, some of the world’s best people have said so. He’s awesome.
/S
Was that a decent imitation of that orange moron?
Toddlers don’t like hearing the word “no”
/end post
This can be applied to everything he does, it’s the begin end the end of all the issues with that man. His ego. And it’s just going worse every day.
But millions of stupid people in America think it’s him showing strength…
This is why the rest of the world holds America in contempt.
Because it deserves it.
Yep.
To me sounds like the reason why people always fall for egomaniacs. They think they’re strong and straightforward, while that’s exactly their main issue, they’re all except steady and strong.
An egomaniac will always answer fast, no esitation, no matter if the answer is stupid or not. People loves that kind of shit.
Good politicians are often the opposite. Boring and slow. Takes time to think about all consenuences, all the parts amd make a deal worth for the most.
74-77mil to be exact.
