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.

    Yeah, we’re all aware of the wonders of Qatari technology, such as their mad-rape-scheduling iPhone app.

      I get that it’s an easy dunk, but the iterations and options for effective spycraft using freely available technology and knowledge are effectively limitless, when you have weeks of exclusive, unsupervised access to something as big and complex as a plane.

        Makes me think of the cocaine they plasticize and make into the suitcase it’s self, so it’s a perfectly normal suitcase in every way except the plastic is impregnated with coke… same type of thing is completely possible here
