I can't buy a federal employee lunch for >$25, but this corrupt MF'er can accept a jet from a foreign government. I can't wait for the midterms to get here so we can have some real oversight on this criminal.

Because they are giving it to him now as he serves as POTUS and he plans to use it until he leaves office when they will "transfer the gift" to his library. Laughable attempted end run around the Emoluments Clause which clearly states that POTUS cannot accept gifts from foreign governments.

This corruption must stop! And ONLY the people can stop it. Speak up and out. What are our representatives doing besides talking? Take action! Vote these criminals and anyone supporting them out.

Air FARCE One… How to Launder Foreign Gifts — Trump Style... bsky.app/profile/that...

That's the Fact, Jack!@thatsthefactjack.bsky.social

How to Launder a Foreign Gift—Trump Style (aka How to Bribe a President in Broad Daylight) Working in corporate, I wasn’t allowed to accept a knick-knack worth more than $20. Trump? He’s pocketing a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar. Because apparently bribery’s fine—if you’re king 👑✈️ 🧵 (1/7)👇

This is just simply demeaning. Why would any US President need to be gifted an Airforce One? Something wrong with building one in the US?

The President accepting a jet from a foreign country to use as his principle aircraft. Aside from the mind-boggling corruption, there are security issues. Could the plane be bugged, or sabotaged? And how does that reflect on US companies? Is Qatar the only place that can provide the gawdy decor?

Exactly, all the Boeing folks had to go through background checks and security clearances.. unlike all the hosts from the Fox News that are cabinet members and attorneys for the District of Columbia now

Can someone ask his administration talking heads how this isn't in violation of the rules against gifts to government officials and then, I don't, follow up when they lie about it instead of thanking them for coming on their show?

Substantial ethical issues my ass! It’s a huge fucking bribe out in plain sight for everyone to see and it’s illegal as all hell. He’s saying fuck you to our entire legal and judicial system, and no one should be above the law!! His whole admin of goons and drunks is nothing but a huge crime wave.

American readers are funny … they scream loudly about freedom of expression yet they expect their journalists to think for them! The NYT is giving you facts … you are free to make your own judgement. If you want someone to think for you, stick to MSNBC, Meidas, Foxnews or Rogan …

We yell at NYT because they are failing at their duty to democracy. They have reporters with knowledge to spell out exactly how this violates the law and threatens national security. Will they allow those reporters to do that?

Ok the thin veneer they are putting on this is that it'll be gifted to the US Air Force. After it will be transferred to Trump's Presidential Library. Not to him personally. Can someone explain what possible legal reason a Library would need a 747? #Trump #AirForceOne #emoluments

The AirForce will have to invest a lot to be able to use the "gift" as an AF1 plane. That includes a lot of classified equipment. Why would they pay again to remove it (and it MUST be removed before it could be transferred.) Why not keep it and use it? This makes no sense logically.

Finally as noted by AF personnel, it would take years to convert. Boeing is already doing that with the ones it's already working on. Who else but Boeing could do the conversion of the "Gift".

Every fucking thing he does is immoral 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Why is it impossible to get rid of the worst president ever in the White House??? TWICE??? Our entire government must be THAT corrupt 🤬🤬🤬

Well, I hope all the GOP politicians step up their bribery game. They should have great gifts from foreign governments and businesses. Private jets at the least

It’s been in their pockets for years remember a while back when the WAPO reporter Khashoggi was brutally slain in Turkey by MBS‘a goons? We have the evidence they came over to the White House paid him. I don’t know how many billions of dollars and the story went away.

Not only illegal and unethical it almost certainly is a massive security risk as well. Pun intended. Just think how much surveillance equipment could be hidden on that plane.

Please rephrase this. The biggest foreign gift ever received by THE US PRESIDENT. The gift is loaned to the Air Force for his use, then is given to his Presidential Library for his use. This isn't a gift to the government. It's a gift to Trump personally. AKA a bribe, and not a small one.

Exactly. If he’s going to keep it, it’s not a gift to the US government. When is the media going to start calling things what they actually are? Never mind, we all know the answer.

Trump plans to accept a bribe from Qatar that he will use as Air Force One and will keep using after he leaves office. The plan — involving possibly the biggest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government — raises substantial ethical issues and security breaches. There, fixed it for ya!

If Qatar is so concerned about the Palestinians in Gaza, why don't they spend the ~$500 million helping them? What is Qatar getting back in return for this massive bribe? Ref: "Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar that he will use as Air Force One and keep after he leaves office."

“raises substantial ethical issues” is doing a LOT of work here bsky.app/profile/nyti...
