A growing number of prominent Republicans are publicly criticizing President Donald Trump following reports that he accepted a $400 million luxury jet from the government of Qatar.
It would NEVER be Biden. No other elected official I can think of would even consider accepting a gift like this from a foreign nation. It’s a flagrant violation of the Constitution and just an extraordinarily bad idea. But this guy is a bad idea incarnate.
As awful as it is to accept the jet, something just as awful is happening in Congress - the negotiations (including Medicaid cuts) surrounding the proposed budget. Be sure to keep an eye on those proceedings.
Yes! So much of this stuff seems almost deliberate, to blur our focus on all the other shit that this administration is doing. We can’t afford to even blink these days.
Oh they’re OUTRAGED about the plane, but gutting the entire federal government, taking healthcare and food and housing away from vulnerable people, disappearing people to foreign gulags, not giving anyone due process, ignoring court orders right and left, gutting the middle class to give all the oligarchs a tax break, making money hand over fist with his weird crypto BS, excoriating heroic military leaders like Zelenskyy while praising Russia - all this and Trump wiping his a** with the Constitution every day - is ok - but NO NOT THE FLYING PALACE IN THE SKY! That’s just going TOO FAR. 🙄 Unbelievable.
Exactly what I wanted to say. Those criticizing him are just jealous they aren’t getting fancy gifts. They have no regard for ethics or morals whatsoever. The faux outrage is nauseating.
How about this, it is straight up illegal to accept so the answer is NO HE CAN’T ACCEPT IT. So much for saving money. It will take many millions I am guessing to retrofit the stupid plane that he doesn’t need to begin with. But it is ok to cut healthcare out of the budget. Oh, and how about national security? Who knows what Qatar may have implanted, who knows where in the plane (palace in the sky). Not to mention, look at the country he is accepting it from. It might as well have been Russia. Disgusting that we even have to talk about it but we must. Another redline crossed if he gets away with this, ignoring the rules again and again and again. Check out: Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor and commentator and expert on fascism and authoritarian leaders. Our country is well onto checking all the boxes.
If there are no punishments for accepting a bribe then who cares? Until he is impeached and removed from office, Trump will continue to be dirty…
They'll complain but not actually do anything. I'm so tired of this song and dance
“If this were Biden…”

Blasting Trump sounds good but where is the accountability!
there is none. Except if you disagree with them, and then "free speech" and "ethics" are out the door for you
What bullshit

Yes, they want to distract us with stupid outrageous behaviors. So we have to watch the the other hand in this game of three-card monte.

So true!

Sounds like a Trojan horse to me
I'm not surprised...sadly. Thank you for reporting the truth.
He will accept the $400M jet because there are no real consequences.
Set aside the legality for a minute....ITS TEN YEARS OLD and has to be retrofitted for government travel 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Fifteen years old and was fitted up by the people who committed the crimes of 9/11 and the chopped-up journalist. Would YOU fly in it?
And guess who pays the 2B to bring it up to meet regulation?
Exactly!
All of these Republicans that are upset about him taking this plane, will fall on their knees for him. They always do.
Why? The orange dude is a fucking idiot. My kitten is way smarter than he is.
Is your kitten getting a $400 mil airplane? Lol
No. She doesn’t want one. 😂
Thank god some intelligent opinions are coming from the right. Let's see what happens now.
Aaron just looked at a clip from occupy democrats of Trump asleep then groggy in the middle east today. Please take a look.
THIS is the thing they are most "disappointed" in???!!

They are giving up their congress power to the executive. What they have been doing is against the law
Shouldn’t they be arrested, just saying.
