Maga Is Divided Over the Free Plane from Qatar? UPDATED

This article waa updated with Buzz Patterson’s information.

The editor of the Daily Caller said that MAGA is divided over Qatar’s latest actions. He said that some are very concerned about Donald Trump accepting the gift of a plane from Qatar that will become Air Force One.

Attorney General Pam Bondi cleared it as technically legal since the plane would be in temporary use and ultimately end up as property of the Trump library. Some believe that Trump traveling on a “foreign-made plane” looks very bad. Others say it might not be able to debug the aircraft entirely.

Daily Caller is wrong. The plane is not foreign-made, and it’s not given to President Trump. It’s a Boeing plane, and it was given to the military.

The Daily Caller editor, Mr. Ingersoll, also said the family business inked a deal on April 30 to build a $5.5 billion golf resort just north of Qatar’s capital city. That is stickier than the plane.

Apparently, accepting gifts from Qatar is common. For example, DC mayor Muriel Bowser just got busted for going on a Qatar-funded trip without disclosure.

Maga should never jump on a media bandwagon, ever.

I trust President Trump, so I think waiting for more information is best. I am not a fan of Qatar. They fund terrorism. Maybe everyone should turn off the Qatar spigot.

That being said, I am more in agreement with Amuse and Collette here:

So, what do you think?

As far as the jet; as one pollster has said, with all the good news that happened over the weekend this jet gift has overshadowed all that good news and what is now dominating the media. As he also said, it’s not likely a bribe, but it does look bad and many will see it as a bribe. I saw a comment on one blog that said Pam Bondi had been a foreign agent for Qatar. If so, that also looks bad since she signed off on it. He also questions whether anyone in Trump’s inner circle has the fortitude to tell the President when something looks bad, or are they too afraid of any repercussions. All of this could have been avoided by paying the 400 million and it wouldn’t be a debate.

I do not care what a pollster thinks. They have put out junk many years. Oh sure, the pollster uses the MSM to form opinions, that is also illogical.

What was “signed off”?

You folks are upset that Trump talks to everyone and is free to deal with nations that are at odds with Israel.

Once again you jump to conclusions without any knowledge. This particular pollster, Rich Baris, has been thee most accurate pollster in the industry. No other pollster has been as accurate in every battleground race. If the GOP would listen to him they wouldn’t be losing so many race, especially in California.

Rush Limbaugh even praised him.

People complaining probably never complained about how badly Boeing botched this situation. It can impact other Boeing government contracts too. I want to hear what Boeing’s corrective action will be.

Trump got fed up. He does not like it when deals are not met.

Its not like its a brand new ready to go plane. Its a plane that’s going to need a complete overhaul. And if you’re not aware of how stringent aircraft certification and updating is – its basically disassembling the entire plane and inspection and replacing parts that are EXPIRED. Yes all parts have an EXPIRATION DATE on planes. Because you can’t wait until they break to fix them like on a car. There are also many many tests the plane has to go through. It incredibly detailed and tedious.

That shows the level of desperation Trump has over Boeing. Trump may never fly in the plane, that must take 2+ years.

Donation to the American People, full disclosure, complete transparency, being granted to DoD ownership, and then to his library. Trump will never own the plane nor have non-governmental beneficial use.

Any criticism of that deal only comes from retarded people.

About as transparent as mud.
Maybe you remember, maybe you don’t, about the failing property formerly known as “666 5th Ave in New York”? You know the one — owed by none-other than Jared Kushner? Seems that Kushner had payments coming due and no one wanted to invest in his property. What to do? What to do? He was underwater.
Well, daddy went over to Qatar and started making noise, and military demonstrations, in Qatar. Well, pretty soon, a company minority-owned by Qatar, came and invested in Kushner’s building in a big way. Not only did they commit to a 20 year lease, they paid the entire lease up front. Do you know how often that happens?

Maybe the plane deal is legit, maybe it’s not. I kinda doubt it. But there is one fact for sure — Congress has to approve of gifts to the president and the orange emperor just bypassed them.

Where’s the Epstein files Bondi?

It’s not a gift to Trump, storyteller.

The Kushners have NOTHING to do with this story.

They will use anything Trump says or does to attack.
