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.
I’m going to try one last time.
The Qatar B-747 was built in the US by Boeing. They are offering a newer 747 to replace one of the two current AF-1s that have been flying for 40 years. Which are tired and need to be replaced. The wing based at Andrews has also purchased…

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:
GROK: This is embarrassing. @Grok is falsely claiming that Trump will benefit privately from Qatar’s gift of a 747. The fact is that the The DOD is accepting the plane and it will be given to his presidential library as an exhibit which will be owned by NARA. There is no… pic.twitter.com/dDLys5YcWN

Oh please! If I see another moronic post about Trump accepting a jet from Qatar as a bribe I’ll spit. DEI Boeing has been working on Air Force 1 for six years costing billions. Trump is turning the gift into the Presidential plane. Good. Safer than the junk Boeing produces. pic.twitter.com/iqkHqWmTm6

President Trump just DOUBLED DOWN on accepting the free $400 million jet from Qatar.
“Now I could be a stupid person and say, ‘OH NO, we don’t want a free plane.’ We give free things out, we’ll take one too, and it helps us out…” pic.twitter.com/yHSKv0dY7Y

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… Read more »
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.
Nobody asked me.
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… Read more »
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.… Read more »
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.
Ever hear of the TROJAN HORSE ???
— BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT TRUMP WILL HAVE EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY OF THAT PLANE THOROUGHLY, MICROSCOPICALLY EXAMINED BEFORE ANY AMERICAN USES IT !
