Trump accepting largest gift in history to a US president, a luxury jet from Qatar

I’ll trust the technology we have over anyone’s.  Especially a country like Qatar 

Based on your extensive knowledge of compartmentalized information, I’m sure.

Our advantage in AI alone should tell you enough.

I suppose I should keep my mind open that there might be a HUUUGE Trump library someday, big enough to park the old restored Boeing that saved taxpayers billions. But I still believe he’s just trying to put more pressure on Boeing to deliver the promised AF1 before his term is up. I’ll bet they stalled work on AF1 last fall when he won.

Lol we went from $400 million to multiple billions.

Try to keep up. Nobody has suggested a new AF1 being slow-built by Boeing is going into the future Trump library. That might go in the 2090 Presidential library.

Ok I misread.  I thought you were comparing to the Qatar one and implying that would save us billions. Apologies

There is a giant statue.   It’s called the Statue of Liberty.   If Trump got one today.  Like a new version of it.  Would you be cool with that or should it be sent back ?

You mean the statue that some on here have insisted is a founding document and the "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" quote is basically as sacred as the constitution?

I mean it was a gift wasn’t it?

It was indeed.  You could get hundreds of thousands of dollars for all that copper today!

Trump announced $600B investment from mid east.  Must be the $400B 747 and prob a $200B yacht both will be Trump personal property after his term don't ya think?

I think they should give Trump the cash and let him make his own deal.

Schumer's tactic is good.    Will he release it when he gets the info he is seeking?   That will be the test of character for him.   My inclination is to say he will not release it.

Schumer should really have his own podcast. The Schumer Daily Outrage.

Have to admit, it has to raise some eyebrows when even the Senate Majority leader, and some of Trumps biggest supporters in DC, are like “hold on….what the crap!”

Or….are they just instantly ‘RINOs’ with ‘TDS’, and other cute catchy nicknames?

I think people, on either side, have a right to question the potential gift in order to make sure it is a legal thing that can be done, as well as work out all the details around future use and purpose.
