Typical leftist jealousy.

 

Welcome to another episode of
“If Obama Did It”

 

It’s 2025 and liberals just now discovering stunning blatant corruption.

no worries, Bondi told them it is all legal

Trump administration poised to accept 'palace in the sky' as a gift for Trump from Qatar: Sources - ABC News

In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans.

Trump toured the plane, which is so opulently configured it is known as "a flying palace," while it was parked at the West Palm Beach International Airport in February.


Trump to accept $400 million 'flying palace' jet as gift from Qatar: report - Raw Story

ABC News reported that the royal family of Qatar is prepared to gift a 747-8 jumbo jet for Trump's use as Air Force One until the end of his term, when the aircraft will be transferred to his presidential library.

Trump was said to have toured the "flying palace" when it visited Palm Beach in February.

 

I don’t know of a politician who hasn’t improved their wealth during their service time.

This one has to be the winner if there were a contest.

 

trump not happy that AF1 isn't fancy enough for him.

'Bribery in broad daylight': Experts stunned by Qatar plan to gift Trump $400 million 'flying palace' - Alternet.org

Attorney General Pam Bondi, along with White House counsel David Warrington, advised the Trump administration “it would be ‘legally permissible’ for the donation of the aircraft to be conditioned on transferring its ownership to Trump's presidential library before the end of his term, according to sources familiar with their determination,” ABC News reports.

The report describes the arrangement as “unprecedented,” noting it raises “questions about whether it is legal for the Trump administration, and ultimately, the Trump presidential library foundation, to accept such a valuable gift from a foreign power.”

CNN Medical Analyst Jonathan Reiner noted Air Force One is "a military aircraft" and is "not intended to be a palace because the U.S. doesn’t have a king.

 

The Trump coin wasn’t open enough bribery so they had to go for something even more egregious to stay on brand for flouting the law.

 

So is he going to fly around in a plane without all the passive and active counter measures AF One has to prevent downing it or are we taxpayers going to have to outfit a superfluous plane that Trump will keep for his personal use?

 

Typical of the right resorting to non-sequiturs, lies and insults when they have no defense.

 

That’s a good question.

A giant beeper from Qatar?
I wouldn’t trust them.

 

So you're suggesting that leftists are jealous of the most corrupt politician in US history who blatantly uses his office to enrich himself? Using a similar logic based on a long history of posts of the board apparently righties are jealous of Barack Obama and Joe Biden because they enriched themselves through royalties from books that they had written or Nancy Pelosi because her husband was a successful real estate investor and venture capitalist.

 

How is this even allowed? There has to be rules against it

 

Those don't matter any more.

 

It's actually a blatant violation of the Constitution:
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

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.

It's actually a blatant violation of the Constitution. When the Democrats regain their House majority they can allege that Trump's violation of the Emoluments clause of the Constitution is a sufficient basis for impeachment under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.
Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

 

One commentator describing the tricked out 747 as a "flying brothel".

 

Clearly the Biden crime family overlooked this detail.

 

As James Burnham pointed out in Suicide of the West (1964), liberals are known for their selective indignation:

pas d’ennemis à gauche
"No enemies to thei left."

 

Feel free to start a different thread with your evidence of Biden.
