People just aren't considering the arguments in favor of accepting it, such as how cool it would be to receive what might be the biggest bribe in the history of bribery.
There's sadly been much bigger bribes.
Even within his family.
It's certainly the biggest one a president has openly accepted. By, like, 400 million dollars.
It likely also has the best always-on one-way communication link to Qatar that money can buy.
So....is anyone not thinking that the plane is absolutely chock full of spying devices? I mean sure Trump is too stupid to think of it as anything other than a tribute to his greatness but is there a single sane person there?
No need for spying devices, he's for sale they can just buy the info they need.
I can't remember did I actually read it or hallucinated it, but I remember something about trump "selling" (auctioned?) "dinner with Trump" events and most of the tickets are bought out by "foreign influence". He is clearly selling "chance to influence trump over dinner" tickets knowingly.
Yea the auction ended yesterday.
Oh, this jet is going to have more bugs than a rainforest. It will be hilarious and compromising.
And just wait until he starts keeping classified documents in the airplane lavatory next to the photocopier.
i dont think you need to bug trumps planes, he has a big mouth and will say anything for money.
There probably is, hence "bipartisan critics"
The ol' Trojan plane trick...gets em' everytime.
Trump is a disgrace
Trump is a insider threat.

Alternative headline: "Spoiled child throws tantrum when told No."
Corrupt piece of shit.
First of all, he is not "losing his mind". You cannot lose what you already lost decades ago.
I mean, dementia, Alzheimer's, syphilis syndrome, 70 years of big macs, all impacting a brain that was so fuckin' dumb he lost money running casinos.
hard to say...
I'd go even further. You can't lose what you've never had.
One man's beautiful gift is almost everyone else's blatant corruption.
But I waaaant it!
Don't...care...how...
I want it NOW!
He ain't got no mind to lose.
Traitors to the Constitution & rule of law applied universally should get only gifts of a short rope and a long drop
Wait.... The plane is transparent? Wow! We should accept that sucker like now and figure out how they did it! LOL.
Hope he paid the 10% tarrif on that $400 mil plane being shipped here from another country lol
Tariffs for thee, not for me.
Maybe we will get lucky and he’ll invite musk and other billionaire backers into the plane for its first official flight, at which point Boeing plane does what it does best coupled with a crippled FAA… one can dream.
Hear me out… what if this is them doing the us a “favor”
Ah. What a guy. Calling his constituents, who he pledged to protect, "losers"
He's the best. Everyone's saying it. Some say he's the best ever.. And, listen, some of the world's best people have said so. He's awesome.
/S
Was that a decent imitation of that orange moron?
Let him have the plane. Its probably sabotaged anyway.
Even better, it's a Boeing.
I’d guess it would be less dramatic than that. Probably mics and bugs throughout it so they can get some good data on him.
Toddler throws a tantrum.
What the fuck? Trump ordered new AF1 and 2 from Boeing not long ago.
1 is used for secret communications with RUSSIA, msb, and qatari.
Of course he cannot accept it. It is not American made. We know American first. And then think of all the tariffs he would need to pay for it!
Why is thedailybeast of all outlets posting a headline that assumes trump is in any way not demented?
Have they ever heard him speak?
Didn't Boeing stop making these a few years ago? Like, are Qatar gifting trump a used plane?
Airplanes usually operate on the order of decades. The 747-8 was made between 2012 and 2023, so it’s still a relatively new plane depending on when it was delivered initially.
Is surely old but I guess is the setup that makes it worth.
It's probably a plane with a yacht-level expensive interiors
Yes, but also they still maintain them. Even the new Air Force One 747-800s that are being fitted right now are from a canceled order.
Now, just imagine how Putin put him in his pocket.
Wait, donvict has a mind?
