Donald Trump who promised to drain the swamp and put America first, is now gleefully accepting a $400 million flying palace from Qatar. Naturally, the MAGA faithful are feeling a little betrayed, and honestly, who can blame them?
Trump confirmed the reports on his social media platform, Truth Social, calling it a “great gesture” that would save American taxpayers a significant expense. “So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40-year-old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that!” Trump wrote. He further defended the decision in remarks to reporters, stating, “I think it’s a great gesture from Qatar. I appreciate it very much. I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer.”
