THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[UnionStrong]

Appreciate you finally admitting he benefits from the gift.

Thanks.

How, You Sonofabitch?

Nahhhhhh. It would've been sent straight to the DOD under Biden too and the right apparently would've been fine with it.

its a straw man regardless of which side would chase it. The left in this case is trying to make the misrepresented argument that this is a gift to trump and that trump would somehow benifit and somehow be beholden to Qatar. even though the gift would never go to Trump and would only be used for official business until retired .

if that argument is a legitimate one then the real concern should be the 1. 2 trillion Qatar has committed to the US in new investments. that is also basically a gift to our country .

You gonna tell me with a straight face that President Trump's library getting a 747 doesn't benefit him at all?

it would belong to the national archives . i guess trump could brag that his library has a nicer plane than reagans but thats about it.

Leftists and gen z can’t figure that out

 

[newfie]

If there was no benefit, they wouldn't have given it to him.

good relations with the worlds super power? every agreement we make with foriegn countries hopefully benefits us somehow.

 

[UnionStrong]

It absolutely was personal.

The plane is going to end up in his library. Not being used by the DoD.

That's a benefit.

This claim seems to be rated “Trust me bro” so far.

A million for Michelle​

Saudi Arabia’s late King Abdullah sent First Lady Michelle Obama a “diamond and emerald jewelry set including necklace, earrings, ring, and bracelet” and later in the year gifted her a similar “diamond and pearl jewelry set including necklace, earrings, ring, and bracelet.” The two collections were valued at a combined $1.1 million.

Can’t Believe the Obamas took a gift from Qatar

The emir of Qatar gave the Obamas two gold-plated bird clock mechanisms worth $110,000 (£90,000) each

...and she didn't keep those gifts. They were given to the US National Archives.

Think Trump might send the 747 from Qatar to the US National Archives?

Will Trump own the plane?

“Ronald Reagan did not own the Boeing VC-137C aircraft in his library. The aircraft, known as SAM 27000, was a presidential transport plane used by the United States Air Force and was not owned by Ronald Reagan personally. It was presented to the Reagan Foundation in 2001 after being retired from service., Boeing, the plane's manufacturer, disassembled the plane and transported it to the library in pieces for display. “

Like it or not, we can all pretend these politicians don’t get preferential treatment and “gifts”.

No one knows what's going to happen with it. To do so is just guessing. My guess is that he is not going to keep it for his own. Where it ends up? Good question. Presidential library? AF1 for the next president?


Immigration enforcement plane? lol

What’s humorous is reading so many stories about how ethics experts are concerned, didn’t seem very concerned the last four years.

Honestly, I feel like it’s much a do about nothing.

Or very concerned any other years where a Trump wasn't president

Boeing is years behind and billions over budget building the replacement planes. In the mean time there is only 1 airworthy AF1. The backup plane developed structural problems.
