Don't claim to be a Syria expert, but if the UN says the sky is blue, I'm going outside to double-check.

Jet is supposedly a gift to the Defense Dept, but conveniently, it will be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library after he is out of office so he can still use it.

Can you imagine the fucking heads exploding if Obama had accepted something like this from a country that supports Hamas?

Corruption in the open. Not even attempted to be hidden, but I'm sure it is Art of the Deal, or 4D Chess, or some shit.

The fact that it’s out in the open kinda betrays your point.

From Forbes:

While many have speculated that the Qataris have offered Trump the luxurious plane to curry favor with the famously transactional president, there may be a simpler rationale: they just don’t want it anymore.

The royals have failed to sell the plane, which was put on the market in 2020, according to an archived listing. Giving it away could save Qatar’s rulers a big chunk of change on maintenance and storage costs, aviation experts told Forbes. Making Trump happy would be an added bonus.

Qatar, which has given away another blinged-out 747 and may have mothballed two more, epitomizes the fading demand for these huge, fuel-guzzling, highly personalized airplanes. There aren’t many who want to buy them, and many of the governments and royal families who own them have been trying to ditch them over the past decade.

So now its not a bribe, its dumping a trash burden? I can't keep up.

He's gonna paint it to look like AF1 and put it on display at his library. Much ado about nothing.

Qatar just hosted the World Cup and we have troops in that country, but accepting a gift from them is a bridge too far.

To be fair its a really stupid take. You don't give away a 400 mil plane to save on maintenance. You sell the plane for a loss, sure. Should just stick with it being a bribe to get in the good graces of America. I wouldn't call it a bribe but reality is you give a gift to someone to try and get them to like you more. That's what they are doing.
