President Trump has announced plans to accept a luxury $400 million jet from Qatar's royal family as a temporary replacement for Air Force One, amid criticism from both opposing Democrats and his own supporters. He celebrates the deal as a windfall while ridiculing Democrats for their objections. However, right-wing figures like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin also criticize the decision, citing the origin of the gift as problematic and questioning Trump's business ties in the Middle East. Despite defending the deal as legal and transparent, the optics raise concerns.
Trump insists the deal is above board and took to Truth Social on Sunday to celebrate the FREE OF CHARGE plane while attacking critical Democrats as World Class Losers!
We cannot accept a $400 million gift from jihadists in suits, she wrote on X. I love President Trump. I would take a bullet for him But I have to call a spade a spade.
Lawmakers like Senator Bernie Sanders and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted the deal as blatantly unconstitutional and premium foreign influence with extra legroom.
Trump's legal team claims the aircraft would first go to the U.S. military and later to his presidential library foundation, dodging constitutional limits on foreign gifts.
