Nothing screams “we love bribes” quite like a $400 million plane. Donald Trump is set to receive a super luxurious Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar, also known as a “flying palace.” Because, you know, who doesn’t need a flying palace?
White House counsel David Warrington has advised the Trump administration that it would be “legally permissible” for the donation of the aircraft to be conditioned on transferring its ownership to Trump’s presidential library at the end of his term. So, basically, Trump gets to keep a $400 million plane? How convenient.
This whole arrangement is being described as “unprecedented,” with questions being raised about the legality of the Trump administration, and ultimately the Trump presidential library foundation, accepting such a valuable gift from a foreign power. A foreign regime giving a jet to a former president, all in the name of it being used for the Trump library? Sounds like bribery happening right in front of our eyes.
So, while we’re all dealing with increased tariff taxes, rising egg prices, and having to cut back on our Christmas shopping, Trump gets a $400 million plane to add to his lifestyle once he leaves office. Because, you know, who doesn’t need a fancy new toy to fly around in?
