Apparently, the claim by President Psychopath that a jet is being gifted by Qatar to the United States government, is inaccurate. At least, that's what the rep from Qatar is now saying.

No pay wall link.

1. Caught red-handed in "criminal" violation of ...

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution for accepting the illegal "bribe" of the airplane, the criminal Turd has decided to forego the "facilitation payment/grease payment" of the subject plane provided that the $400 million dollars is deposited forthwith in his very secret and personally "numbered" account in a private Geneva bank.

2. Maybe they're considering a $400M Trump meme coin purchase instead.

But they have probably bought Trump meme coins already...

3. This is a hustle on his part

They aren’t giving him diddly because they see him losing power. Bad buy.

4. If there was any doubt that we are in a class war, this should be the final clue.

A 40 fucking million dollar plane!!!
And that's the ONLY reason some gop asshats are against it: because this makes it so obvious who is on whose side.
trump has ALWAYS been terrible at hiding his cards.

5. You left off a zero. 400 million.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Correct. But it's a white elephant w costs

Command center and secure communications would have to be installed. Whole plane might be riddled with Qatari bugs that Russia would hoover up from them on the ground.

Medical room would have to be installed. Doing all of that would take a lot of time. By which time the new AF1 could be ready from Boeing.

Then when it is "given" to tRump comic book library the command center and secure comms would have to be ripped out. All the gilded surfaces mean it is for one man only: the nouveau riche gold sucker tRump.

An emolument that would cost taxpayers.

8. It is impotant that everything involved in this bribe. . .errr, "grift", errrr, "gift"

is included in whatever discussions are occurring (not nearly enough of them, in my estimation), so I thank you. I had been wondering how much all that was going to cost anyway.

10. Whoops! :O

[Walleye]

6. Literally getting President Toddler's attention by dangling shiny objects in front of him

[niyad]

9. It struck me that one of the concerns about this bribe and its "bugs" was a bit

beside the point. Why would putler or anybody need bugs, since they already get all the intel straight from TRAITOR** and company directly? It isn't even as if they need blackmail material, since the scum currently in charge openly boast about their behaviour, and the cult simply does not care.
