Liberals aren’t accepting a Trojan horse from Qatar which will need more than its value in retrofitting to be usable by the President.

It should be easy to be specific about a critique of logic. But youre not.

An opinion based on hatred of Trump. Actually he is working strongly for the American people and to suggest he is not is pure liberal bias.
A non logical opinion. Trump is President and owes us his faithful execution of his oath of office. Which he has done more positive for this nation in the short time he has been in office that any previous president.

That is a completely delusional take on the current administration.
The president is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. A criminal in every sense of the word. NOTHING he is doing is "for the American people." It's all for the grift and power and to keep himself and his sycophants out of jail.
Unfortunately, forum rules prevent me from describing the adulation bestowed on him by his followers, but it's the most apt description possible to explain opinions such as yours and others on this forum and in the country. It doesn't make sense otherwise.

That article was written years ago, but "updated". The Politifact article is also from years ago. It's still not clear if he is presently donating it. He hasn't said, that I've heard.

I certainly do not like Trump. But I want something that indicates he owes me (and all other citizens) his service.
His word has been demonstrated to mean nothing over and over again. So the oath is empty. Thats why I want the symbolic quid pro quo in the language he understands best: money.

“Yes, as of May 2025, President Donald Trump has announced that he will donate his $400,000 annual presidential salary during his second term, continuing the practice from his first term. In a recent interview, Trump reaffirmed this commitment, stating he would forgo the salary and also decline the lifetime pension available to former presidents. “ And even his future pension such a money hungry politician . All of this liberal nonsense about him using the presidency to enrich himself is foolish talk. Trump has lost much wealth serving this nation .

That people seem to be ignoring this is beyond me. We've all seen pictures of the inside of the 747. Opulent doesn't begin to describe it. But AirForce 1 isn't a flying hotel room. It's a mobile office and command post. The entirety of that plane will need to be gutted. Literally everything will have to be ripped out. The Qataris would have saved the US government a fortune if they'd just suggested that they gift a standard passenger 747 so at least it would have been quicker to remove the seats, toilets and galleys. And it still wouldn't be ready before the one Boeing is currently working on.
Trump has seen the interior of the plane and thought 'Wow, fit for a king'. It's the only reason he wants it. I mean the guy is so transparent it's embarrassing.

Many of us haven't been ignoring that (including in the media and this board). The Qatari 747 is sitting unwanted on the tarmac in San Antonio. [As] the structure of that name may reveal, it is not in an Arab land, but in old "New Spain" province of Tejas.

This donation belongs to the country, the opposite of Qatar's gift to the Clintons:
Trump reportedly prepared to accept ‘palace in the sky’ as gift from Qatar
News of present from royal family ignited accusations of bribery and corruption, as well as criticism against presidentwww.theguardian.com
So the new air force one will belong to not to the office of president but to Donald Trump. A bribe pure and simple.
Clinton's charity confirms Qatar's $1 million gift while she was at State Department
The Clinton Foundation has confirmed it accepted a $1 million gift from Qatar while Hillary Clinton was U.S. secretary of state without informing the State Department, even though she had promised to let the agency review new or significantly increased support from foreign governments.

To be used solely by Donald trump as it will be donated to his library after his term. No other president will have access to it.
So yes it is a gift to him, not the office if president.
