Waste, Fraud, and Abuse: The Pentagon just accepted Trump's grift from Qatar. Trump initiated asking for the plane. It'll cost taxpayers $1 BILLION, NEVER be used by any U.S. president, and VIOLATES the Emoluments Clause as Trump says he's keeping the plane. bsky.app/profile/that...

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

Emoluments Clause No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State

So you going to apologize to all of us for lying repeatedly to our faces when we told you that this is all corrupt BS??? It's under the table shady deals. By a mob boss. In plain sight.

So you finally figured out it was a grifting con fraud all along? Hope you dig into every deal signed and talk to Qataris about any illegal payments to the crime family in chief

Of course, they do not know how to give him tribute appropriately, so he can snub the constitution and do something illegal. Criminals love to do crime. Call your Reps people, no president can accept a bribe/gift without Congress's approval. Lady Liberty was a gift to America & approved by congress

So, sitting on his golden toilet, Trump came across and ad for a pimped up 747 cheap. He asked about buying it and Qatar said, "Just get the damned thing off our hands. We'll give it to you for nothing. Take it. PLEASE!"

sadly, seems to me, "Contrary to the narrative from the president..." pretty much sums up what to expect during the next 4 years so BUCKLE UP, world... gonna get crazy.

Remember during his first term when #trump put sanctions on #Qatar and only lifted them after they bailed out #JaredKushner failed property deal? This reeks of #trump abuse of office to get a "free" plane What did he tell them he'd do if they didn't give it to them?

I'd recommend the Air Force fly the white elephant 747 to Davis Monthan AFB and park it there to be salvaged for parts. NASA and the Air Force have 747 variants that could use the engines, the landing gear and many other parts.

Contrary to the narrative. Listen to yourself. "Trump lied that Qatar came to him. The truth is he approached them." See how much simpler it is to tell it straight, in plain English? Trump knows how humiliating and degrading this whole shabby business is. He knows. That's why he lied.

You can tell nobody in TrumpWorld bothered to talk to anyone from Air Force One or they would have known about the security nightmare the plane presented.🧵

If you don’t know the chain of custody of that plane, it is very easy for an intelligence agency to hide bugs since a 747 is a giant forest of wires and electronics. That plane has been living at an unsecured public airport in San Antonio. They’ll basically have to take it apart. Hugely expensive!

So, not so much a gift as an intentional grift by Trump and Bondi to acquire something Trump has always admired AS a gift, so he can force the US taxpayers to pay for the necessary retrofit and upgrades, which costs millions or $1 billion. The scam is blatant and Congress is inept.

Of course he did. There was no way Qatar was going to just give it to him, so they did some shady deal on the side and agreed they would claim it was a gift. That's why he is insistent on getting it. I am willing to bet that he has already spent taxpayers' money on it. That will be the next story.
