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.

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
