Anything to attempt a justification so that the orange guy can not be held to the same standards as the rest of us.

It was a gift to the country not a single person who will take it with them at the end of the term.

We Germans´d say "Es hat ein Geschmäckle", it´s hard to translae, but it has something of corruption, whether the congress should vote for the #PlaneGate or not.

And nobody’s “presidential library” took it home later

Most importantly, President Cleveland did not get to keep it and take it home after his presidency ended.

Someone grab his and toss that orange a$$ in the pen🍑

💯

Bingo!!

So you can't appreciate anything unless you've seen it in person? She's a symbol of our country—the "Mother of Exiles." Here's a video copy of the poem because you're obviously too fucking stupid to read. youtu.be/N0B9CitsfU0?...

Holy fuck you people are stupid. It's truly unbelievable.

I would even share with other citizens. How many seats are there?

Actually, apples and apples if you are drawing a comparison. The plane was gifted to Trump as POTUS, ergo it belongs to the country & all its citizens just like the Statue of Liberty. Constitutionally; legally. Trump's corrupt DOJ may say otherwise, but the truth is the truth.

Well, apparently the grift is the only thing Congress approves now.

This! This all day long. Do we all get to fly in the quatar 1 trumplane?

*Apple* is a symbol for America, as in "as American as apple pie 🥧 ." *Orange* used to be the symbol for Florida, but since 2016, it has taken on another meaning. So yeah, it is the difference between 🍎 and 🍊 both metaphorically and symbolically

Came here to say this

Well….if you stick a bunch of cloves in an orange, it kinda resembles a porcupine….🤷🏻‍♀️

Vastly different

Apples and rotten, toxic oranges..

Oooh then we all get a free ride?!?

Yep. If you read the emoluments clause it does state Congress should vote on it.

Not to mention that more than one person benefits from the Statute of Liberty.

And it wasn't a gift to THE PRESIDENT!!! It was a gift to the American people!

Yes! And like Seth Myers pointed out, President Grover Cleveland didn’t TAKE IT WITH HIM after his term!!!!

Honestly, the desire to appease Trump still baffles me. So many people willing to bend the knee for him and debase themselves.

Facts matter

They’re comparing apples and oranges. The jet is a luxury item, PERIOD. It will transport Trump everywhere and makes only him feel like an emperor. The Statue of Liberty commemorates the alliance between France and the U.S. during the American Revolution. They are not equivalent gifts.

Also, America KEPT the Statue of Liberty!

And the president never took the Statue of Liberty with him when he left Office!

Egregious

And the Statue of Liberty is, and will always be property of the people of the United States. Same for the plane. The law is clear.

No president got to take the Statue of Liberty home after he was out of office. The are so full of 💩

The statue of liberty was in honor of an entire country while the jet is just another shiny toy for Trump's use alone.

And it should not go to the President's Office but to ALL Americans.

And the POTUS didn't take it with him after his term

Chester A Arthur was president when USA received the Statue of Liberty and Grover Cleveland was president when it was assembled. The difference is that neither of whom took it with them when they left office.

Are you telling me he can’t add the Statue of Liberty to his presidential library? You guys are always spoiling his fun. Just like those other kids in the military school his parents shipped him to, hoping to civilize him.

Yes.

The anti-slavery activist Edouard de Laboulaye proposed that the statue be built to celebrate the centennial of US independence. It was not a bribe to the President.

So if it's like the Statue of Liberty, we all have the right to visit and use the jet too? Cool!

Not to mention the Statue of Liberty was a gift to the ENTIRE nation. It's for all citizens to enjoy. It's also a meaningful and loving symbol of liberty.

Nobody took the Statue of Liberty home after they left office... lol...

"But, but, but.........we're victims!"

Maybe Trump can drop the airplane in the Hudson River ? We know from history that it can be done...

Somehow, I feel we would be disappointed on any Congressional vote on the plane.

The emoluments law says Congress HAS to vote on it. Also - and a pretty big difference here - one is a gift to America from an allied nation for all citizens to enjoy (a national landmark), and the other is a bribe for a corrupt president from oil sheiks (a personal luxury jet).

Lady Liberty was also a thank you gift to the country, the plane is a gift to the orange turd..another big difference..

Ummmmmm. And getting a personal plane for POTUS seems just a little different than a cultural beacon for the people somehow.

Also the Statute of Liberty didn't trot off her pedestal and into the hands of Grover Cleveland when he left office.

They are not the same, they will do anything to twist the truth to support their agenda. They don’t even know what’s up anymore.

Can we use the jet too or just the mobster family? The jet isn't in the public domain like Libby is it?

Well, maybe they can put that plane in the water right next to the Statue of Liberty. With Trump in it.

and the statue is a momument for all americans, not a take home billionaires toy for POTUS.

NO, it's that everyone should have access to the plane and get to share in it. Or is the Statue the president's personal art piece in his house?...Is there no bottom to MAGA's moral corruption?

Schoolchildren donated those pennies

The difference between accepting a work of art for public display & a work of art for your own house - no?

And France gave the statue to the people of America. Since T is planning on taking the the jet with him when he leaves the job, it’s a gift to him, not the people.

Not to mention Liberty can be accessed and enjoyed by everyone. How many Americans are going to fly trump Palace (now with WINGS)…

And as Seth Myers reminded us, President Grover Cleveland didn't take the statue home with him after he left office. This has to be the stupidest whataboutism they have come up with yet. Yet.

It is the little things that always get missed with MAGA, isn't it?

A statue for a country is entirely different than a plane for the President - and that shouldn’t even need to be said.

And it should stay as asset of the government not leave with him after his term

And let’s not forget that America got the Statue of Liberty, asshole in the White House gets the fucking plane.

And the statue wasn’t a gift to a president, it was a gift to a country. The plane is for him alone and Pam bondi worked for them for $100k a month.

Exactly! We are allowed to visit the Statue of Liberty It belongs to the people! Trump will keep the jet for himself.

God damn those losers try to justify anything with stupidity

Wasn't the SOL a gift to the people of the US ?

Which president decided to put the Statue of Liberty in his library and use it for his and his familiy’s personal use forever???

You’ll never get the truth from the White Nationalist channel or One America Ninny’s They are complicit in 4 more years of the King of the Gold Crapper This is a organized criminal cult and Gestapo

Also, a statute and an airplane are not the same. Ffs.

Plus, the sitting president at the time didn’t get to take the Statue of Liberty home when he left office as his new crazy golf obstacle!🤔😡🤬

And Cleveland didn’t put it in his presidential library to make it really spectacular. No one else would have had one in their library I’ll bet.

There’s that.

And it didn't get put in Grover Cleveland's backyard.

Real simple response to those idiots. The difference is one is a statue in a harbor, the other is a luxury airplane. If they think it’s ok to keep it, then put the fuckin plane on a barge next to the Statue of Liberty and sell tickets to visit it!! These Trump clients are just that! C L O W N S

Plus, the statue is not something a President or other government official gets *use* out of (like a plane). Apples and oranges, but most Fox viewers are lost when critical thinking is involved and just believe what is shoveled in front of them.

That is Congress duty approve such a huge gift

If I wrote this as a Hollywood script... it would be turned down as just too fantastical and unbelievable, and yet here we are. ---

Those people are weird. The Statue of Liberty was for the benefit of all Americans.

They're not very good at lies.

That wasn’t a gift to a President but to a country. Once again Republican comparing apples and oranges. Plus Trump wants taxpayers to pay for improvements and then in four years wants to use it as his personal plane. Don’t remember Grover Cleveland moving the Statue of Liberty into his backyard!

Question - Why the “I get to keep it clause”? Statue stayed put, so should the plane.

And Grover Cleveland didn’t take the Statue home and use it as yard art after his presidency was over. Apples and clowns.

Nice self own....but the Fox viewers will never figure it out.

Congress MUST vote on the jet. That is how the emoluments clause works.

Omg!

And it didn't revert to individual ownership

Trump has decided to make his bribes public so we can all rejoice he will fly in luxury.

France didn't give Statue of Liberty to a US President, gift to our nation. Statue began 1865, finished 1886=a tribute to US's welcome of refuges. Plane is a gift from a nation without ANY principle of Democracy/humanity to a President well known for his corruption/cruelty/criminality.

Yeah, but Grover Cleveland didn't take her home with him after his term.

Umm that’s a big fat hell to the NO NO

Great point.

Sadly, the gop majority congress will vote to give trump a $400 million gift

Plus it was a gift to the country, not to a corrupt felon.

Not at all the same

Well since the Statue of Liberty was a gift to the American people, I guess this means that I, along with every other American citizen can make use the “gift plane” when we need to fly. Sweet!!!

Congress would approve it, they’re in his pocket. I’m not really sure that makes it better. Grover Cleveland didn’t get to keep using the Statue of Liberty for personal benefit after leaving office.

Right but we all know what happens if it goes to vote in congress. Couple of spoilers ruin it and gift him the fucking plane w/ legitimacy

Yes. Otherwise it might be construed a bribe.

#fdt #felontrump #rapisttrump #traitortrump #fmaga #liartrump #smellytrump #comradetrump

And you think this Congress full of GOP cowards & sycophants wouldn’t approve it?

Leave it to John Kennedy to throw in an irrelevant whataboutism.

Because if there's nothing Republicans love more, it's tradition. (laughing my head off as I type that)

There’s nothing wrong about Tan Suits. Shortly after their concerted effort to shame him, someone made a picture compilation of at least 6 Presidents wearing Tan Suits. They even complained when he asked for Dijon Mustard on a Hot Dog. I guess in their little brains he was acting “uppity”.

Every now and again someone surprises us, as Rand Paul has been recently. Some of them to have lines they won't cross. but it's very few, and certainly no one on his so-called cabinet, nor the SOH who crawls further up his ass with every word or deed from his mouth or wherever.

You know Merrick Garland had his chance to investigate all of this Trump corruption and he chose not to.

Let's think of a recent example where we can draw a parallel... Statue of Liberty - that's the one The world looks on incredulously

And it was a gift to the NATION, NOT AN INDIVIDUAL
