Bad idea!

Would only work if it was a gift to "The Presidency" and DJT's successors had access to it.

Qatar isn’t exactly our friend. Can the plane be trusted to not be sabotaged or have a kill switch?

Leaves me a little unnerved regarding security of the plane/POTUS being that it is from a Muslim nation that harbors Hamas leadership.

Yeah, but would you want Jazzmine Crockett in possession of that plane?

It would be a ghetto party house.

“because the gift is not conditioned on any official act, it does not constitute bribery, the sources said.”

How does this compare with, oh, I don’t know, making a $1 billion payment to Ukraine contingent on the firing of a certain prosecutor? Asking for a friend.

Procedures for dealing with gifts to the presidency are well established.

The msm is trying to create a non-issue issue here.

The article says that it would be a gift to the Trump presidency and then a gift to the Trump library.

Beyond that, the sources in this article are unnamed and from BS ABC.

Trump will find a way to have his cake and eat it too without having to go out on a limb. Why settle for two White Houses in the sky when you can have three?

If somehow it is legal, then Sell it to a Muslim nation and buy a new one with the $$. IF all the muslim nations back away from buying it, then it will be known that yeah, it weren’t too safe.
