He should have to reimburse us for the upgrades.
He should have to reimburse us for the upgrades.
📌
Hopefully, he leaves office early in a coffin and the government keeps the jet that the taxpayers bought. The Republicans are the most corrupt people on Earth.
The reason the Qataris gave it away is because it costs a ridiculous amount of money to fly. Whoever the next president is will likely go to the new pair of jets we're already paying for. I'd still rather see it rust on the tarmac than him get it.
I don't think it matters. If Trump is out of office he won't be able to own the type of tech that exists in an Air Force One vehicle. This is basically a military plane.
More importantly the equipment should be removed so it doesn't fall into the hands of 1 of dt's BFF. Of course if the Republicans are still in power they will permanently give him a full air force component & pay for them to live at a 4 star hotel in WPB.
I'm sure the US will be "allowed" to pay our own costs of removing that gear. This was announced long ago and we knew it was a bribe, especially since he ordered two brand new, state of the art, and incredibly expensive AF1s during his first term. This custom luxury jet won't be done for years.
Take it with him sounds hopeful. Where's he going to be able to land that beast?
wtf - what happens if he dies when in office
Cult gonna cult. And people vote these clowns in, boggles the mind.
I hope it crashes the first flight he takes in it. Good riddance.
Of course… usa is the laughing stock of the world
I give up. We've been taken over by a criminal mob.
Since the corruption is this bad, they'll have no problem helping themselves to OUR Social security trust fund that WE pay into with every check
The Republican Party is the new Mafia
When can hope that the plane is faulty then it will be money well spent and and I’m not threatening FYI
What do you think those fucking pedophiles would do if Obama or Biden got the same deal? They’d send their proud boys after us with guns
OMFG TIME to end the GOP IN ANYWAY POSSIBLE
I believe the fact that corruption is now the rule at all levels of government is why republicans won’t break with Trump. It’s not because they’re afraid for their families. It’s so they can cash in themselves. Which is why they will work to undermine elections now that their voters are on to them.
He isn’t planning to leave office and Congressional Republicans are ok with that.
Isn't this a direct violation of the emoluments clause? I know it allegedly goes to his library, but c'mon, he can barely read. I'm betting he gets the government to foot the bill for fuel and maintenance.
Vote blue.
He violated that so many times during his 1st term that it would be silly to be angry about it now. We knew this was a bribe when it was 1st announced. It's only a bribe if he was going to get to keep it which Repubs just did, and Trump ordered two new AF1s during his 1st term so we didn't need it.
So disgusting!
This is SICKENING! THE REPUBLICANS are responsible for this violation of our Constitution, and I, for one, am livid! We are on full authoritarian mode!
If he’s leaving tomorrow, I’d be for it also. 🤓🥸
Along with a billion dollars of upgrades paid for with our tax dollars. 🤯
Could this POS take the jet and leave now forever?
Only if he takes every fucking one of the people he put in his administration AND the corrupt Supreme Court judges!!!!
We'll make sure every appointee and hire since Jan 20, 2025 is purged from the gov't. Then they will be placed in the concentration camps they're building until we can try them all at "Nuremberg" type tribunals. They should remember that precedent is set that "following orders" isn't a defense.
When I read this my mind went to the ending of The Handmaid's Tale where the airplane blows up with all of the P.O.S in it.
Unreal. I'd stop paying my taxes
How is this legal???!!!
It's not but as long as the Republicans control everything in Congress we have to sit and watch this craziness!
A certain Sith Lord once said “I will MAKE it legal!”
He‘s not leaving office.
Republicans are such a disgrace. Never thought an entire group could lose their ethics and integrity all because of one narcissistic moron. All of you will be in the history books/ unfortunately you will not be praised. Your relatives will be embarrassed
To be fair, every single Republican with a bit of integrity has been primaried and thrown out of the party. It's now a Mafia ring.
Grift & greed. Millions of people lose healthcare coverage, are randomly fired from jobs by Elon Musk, scatter-gun tariffs driving up costs, but he gets a jumbo jet. Any Republicans with even a shred of responsibility left? Is there anybody in the GOP with a spine?
Proof America is going to hell. We need drastic measures and now if we have any hope to stop our country from falling off a cliff.
look up the price of a NEW 747. Same model. $418 million. NEW!!!!!
I am so sick of this shit.
You’re saying the GOP is complicit in allowing Waste and Abuse, and possibly Fraud for this single aircraft. We the American Taxpayers will be fronting up to $100,000,000,000.00 to make it an Equivalent to the other Air Force Ones. No fiscal responsibility they have.
Ufb. Everything's getting "normalized" because he's criming right in front of god and everyone. He doesn't gaf and nobody has the stones to do anything. A "strongly worded letter" is not what's called for here.
Every day another betrayal.
List of Republicans who voted to let Trump take the jet ? Anyone have it ?
The list of ones that didn't is much, much shorter.
Outrageous!!
@SenatorHagerty why aren’t you focused on the real issues??? Sucking up to Trump is NOT a real issue. Show us the Epstein Files!! Justice for the victims.
@SenatorHagerty, this is a total misappropriation of tax payer dollars. You suck!
Disgusting boot licking cowards. Vote everyone of them out.
Fucking crook! That was the plan from the beginning. It was a god damn bribe for something!
Would rather watch it burn in a fireball …
Again it's all about him and sucking up as much wealth for himself. He doesn't give a shit about anybody else. He can take that plane and shove it! It's truly illegal and unconstitutional to give it to him! He won't live long enough to enjoy it anyway!
As if that was not the plan all along.
If Trump ordered the dissolution of congress and the judiciary except the 6 conservative justices, but before going vote to change the name of the country to Trumpcovia and empty the treasury and all further revenue into trump’s personal account they’d say sure and then say they didn’t do it.
Grift and more grift. I don't want to hear from a single Republican/Trump supporter ever again that we can't afford to do something for the people of this country (or any other) after this. What thievery.
Corruption 101 at Trump University.
I can only imagine if President Obama or Biden did this along with the other corruption 😡
We going to give all of our out going presidents an out going gift worth about a billion. If that's what we are doing now, put it out there.
The story - the GOP just voted to hand $1B of taxpayer funds directly to a billionaire. Omit the name, and even MAGA will see how insane this is. Need to hang this around their necks.
I really, really hate this corrupt GOP.
When you know that no one will do anything to stop the behavior, why would they want to change!
He doesn’t plan to leave office. His offspring will be his planned successors. He envisions a Trump Dynasty! Keep resisting everyone!
www.youtube.com/live/uAcsY8M.... Republicans are stupid to hitch their star to him. They have trashed the US Economy and our reputation.
How fucking corrupt does this GOP have to be for Congress To do their job for the good of America?
Republican in Congress are just evil fucking people.
The GOP is so power mad that they cannot see this for the grift it is.
I think they see this grift but they are totally irrelevant now and bow to diaper don
Take it out of their salaries. Our tax dollars shouldn’t be going to Trump. One Billion dollars! The grifting continues.
USA is a corrupt state and should be sanctioned as such by the UN. If that’s even a thing JFC
So Hunter was battered for selling a painting and this.
Voters need to be reminded of this…and quit worrying about who is playing on your kids little league team!!!!
They want him to love them. Problem is, narcissists are unable to love. Ego “charm” is not love, and is extremely temporary.
This lot would vote a carrot to the supreme court, if he told them to.
Tell him he can take it with him as long as he reimburses tax payer cost to update it and any other expenses incurred- as well as taxes /tariffs
Lmao! Good! He'll be lumbered with the price of upkeep for it. The Fumb Duck has bought himself(with US taxpayers "treasure"[<-for the Qnuts]) a massive "white elephant"! Now THAT'S hubris...and.. karma in action. What a fool.
Are there no sane republicans in office? Not ONE? Is anyone trying to talk them out of this crap?
Separation of powers is gone. Anyone paying attention knows that democracy is gone.
😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 They should have stipulated we get it back when the a-hole 🍊💩🤡 dies.
At least there will be a record of what they did. After Trump is gone, the record will remain.
It was clear there was no bottom when the country voted in a sex offender the first time, but when they voted in a sex offender and mass murderer the second time, we should not be surprised at anything that happens from now on.
So true. Every time you think the Trump regime has reach the bottom depths of depravity they furiously dig even deeper
Well, hopefully President Whitmer won’t let him take it if he leaves
After all of his promises that the Qatari jet would not remain in his personal use, of course they've approved it for his personal use. I want my fucking billion dollars in taxes to be used for something that doesn't go to this big fat orange fuck.
Remember this when America is attacked: We let our missile silos go to ruin to fund the restoration of Trump’s big beautiful fool’s gold plane. Who is he working for? It’s not America.
Trump is never leaving office.
www.youtube.com/live/uAcsY8M.... Trump is trading our economy.....he is leaving, and so are his Republican co-conspirators.
monsters.
Next dem/independent president…..Get faa to ground it.
That jet seems very droneable
Can it be taken back once he files for bankruptcy again?
Horrendous grift. What has happened???
The Trump estate will be nationalized anyway and liquidated to repay the victims.
SHOCKING 😳 lol. So scared of the 🍊 pedophile no spine or balls
What are gift taxes on a billion dollar gift
Then let his ass pay for the renovation
This is a brand new plane, one of the most luxurious ever made. It is being made to order and will not be finished until the end of Trump's presidency so we always knew he would take it home or it wouldn't have been an effective bribe.
The cost they are talking about is the installation of all of the security gear like anti-missile technology and so forth. It's not paying for brand new plane itself. Qatar gave it as a fully paid for gift.
Here's hoping every Republican Senator should get shown the Emergency exit
Cannot believe how corruption /blatant monetizing of the presidency in the white house has been allowed to explode under Trump. I wouldn’t have believed it until now seeing it. (Even considering it is Trump)
Who’s still out there voting for Republicans?
Idiots. Complete idiots.
Elon too. He’s now going to fund GOP PACs. He’s smart enough to see his party will hurt republicans.
Racists And Rapists
fake christians and billionaires
So why don't we just let it rot somewhere and he can pay to retrofit his own damn bribery trash? Why the fuck are we even doing that? Give it to him now and charge him rent until he moves it to private storage.
GOP = AFP AFP = American Fascist Party
Might be time to CrowdSource a Ukrainian drone.
Perhaps the republicans have more secrets than we realize. I mean how many of them are in the Epstein files? The more corrupt they act the more I am left to believe trump has dirt on them.
Stop paying taxes. Problem solved.
All Republicans are traitors
If a democrat wins the presidency in 2028, then he/or she can just refuse to give it to him via executive order and then they can fight for it through the courts with less power
So they are going to spend all of money to make it AF1 (refueling, secure comms, nuclear protection) over the next 3 years, then he leaves office and flies around in with all of this equipment for no reason?
This sickens the American people.
After the tax payers rebuild it, of course.
I’ll volunteer to do a Handmaids Tale if he’s on it upon departure
Next president must impound the jet.
So it’s another gift they are giving him
Duhh…
No surprise there. 😡
What a f*cking disgrace.45 doges everything. 45 Cuts millions of federal jobs,(makes peoples lives miserable), passes BBB, kicks people off Medicaid, sues Harvard, sues Murdock, plays golf in Scotland, has a fortified golf cart- all on taxpayer money. Building 90,000 sq ft Ballroom. MUST HAVE JET!!
A very expensive grift at the taxpayers' expense. But let's strip children of their food, education and healthcare.
Waste? Fraud? Abuse? All 3?
Every slimy, scaly, tongue wagging GOP snake should rot for rejecting the duties of their office. Go to work and tell your boss you refuse to perform the work you were hired to do. Yeah, try Bye Felicia, hello unemployment. *Also see my comments, below.
Followers: I recently proposed allowing negligence claims against elected officials, e.g., - They have a duty - They breached that duty - ThePeople are injured (and proximate cause exists) Voilà What do you think about that idea? Please feel free to disagree with me. I'm hunting for ideas! Thx
The old orange coot will be dead before the refurbishing is complete. Don’t spend any taxpayer money on it. Make his millionaires/billionaire friends donate to make it happen.
It's a robbery. He's a criminal pedophile, antisocial narcissistic psychopath robbing us blind. Why is this allowed? Trump has the list. That's what the Republicans are afraid of. Trump has the blackmail list. Epstien and Maxwell and TRUMP were all traffcking kids together.
The fat bastard will be dead before it’s finished.
He's leaving?
The CIA will slip some listening devices in it. He doesn't have many friends there.
One condition - he leaves NOW!
-I am so sick- from the -Republican corruption that is numbing -it is - beyond all the damage a single-corrupt -A$$hole can do to destroy a Nation because a bunch of idiots elected -one-just like them-
Certified Airline / Jet mechanic here. Where can I apply for a job?
So its a bribe
Does he have to pay a tarrif on that jet or...?
He never should have been allowed to accept it in the first place. If anyone had doubts before, this particular corruption should solidify the fact that democracy is gone. Trump is rewarded with an airplane for destroying our country.
Here’s hoping he takes it with him to Hell.
I really canNOT believe how much he gets away with.
INSANE
Come on cholesterol, now is your time!
They make me absolutely sick!!!
When Republican assholes tell you to your face they cannot afford to contribute to your life saving services - but Donald Trump can rack up debt by 5 trillion dollars - a lot for himself and the 1% rich in this country - Do not vote them back into office not one of them - They will not choose you
Disgusting 🤮
Let Trump’s “library” reimburse the retrofit. It’s not going to benefit the American people.
I am so shocked at this development - said no one with a brain that is marginally functional.
AMERICA HE IS SPENDING OVER A BILLION $$$ TO RETROFIT IT TO MAKE IT AF1 IN 3 YRS IT WILL BE MOST ADVANCED PLANE NEXT TO THE 2 NEW BOEINGS AF1 WW CURRENTLY R BUILDING ..THINK ABOUT THAT HE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL GOVT FUNCTIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AS A PVT CITIZEN ..WTFU AMERICA WTFU AMERICA WTFU
Fantastic- can he leave now, like yesterday, like last Saturday?
Yet no money for school lunches, medicaid, FEMA, etc etc etc. Fuck them all.
🤦🏻♀️
Wait, he doesn’t plan on leaving though? What’s the catch here
Why don’t we just not retrofit it and let him have it now.
So almost $1 billion to retrofit this jet using taxpayer money. And these corrupt fuckers allow him to take full ownership of it. It’s sickening what is happening. Even the stupidest people have to see the corruption..
They see this grift but choose to enable him as they are drunk with power and greed
Republicans are all about waste fraud and abuse. Little did we know they were pro ware fraud and abuse as long as they are getting the money and they are big fans of corruption too.
As luck no as he leaves and never returns- ok
Thanks, American taxpayers! Oh, and screw you, too!
Everything the Republicans do is a grift
Why are even the little things happening so horribly wrong? It is 💔
www.appropriations.senate.gov/about/members
Did anybody vote to appropriate the money for the retrofit? Cuz it would be hard to argue it’s worth that price for one year (tops) of official use. I mean, in the usual order of defense appropriations. Maybe T pays for the percentage of the cost that won’t be official use? Like 29/30ths of it?
Just ridiculous! tRump did jot even win the 2024 election, he is illegitimate. Why reward him?
Planes don’t fly to hell; so it won’t matter.
Of course those spineless sycophants blocked Democrats' efforts! The "Orange Man" always gets what he wants from Repubs! They care more about pleasing Trump and keeping their jobs than DOING WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO - REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENTS!!! AMERICA, VOTE THEM OUT!!!!!
Won’t the jet have to have all the secret equipment and weapons that keep the POTUS safe removed so that it is not readily available for anyone who can pay to see it? How much will that cost?
There will be a price to pay!
The entire country should bring suit against this Congress who refuses to use critical thinking and goose steps in time with the Pedophiles amongst them
Of course, the plan is he never leaves office.
The government is corrupt
What happens if Trump does not leave the office on two feet, is there a last will and testament
Literally no bottom.
I use to marvel at the way McConnell could throw a monkey wrench into the works as a Minority Senate Leader. You don't see that with Schumer or Jeffries. I'm tired of being on the losing but moral team. Democrats have no fire in the gut. Sometimes you have to get down in the dirt to slug it out.
WTF?!?!? If the government has the money just to give away a refurbished plane the Saudi’s didn’t want……then start putting back the money for all the programs to help Veterans, elderly and the homeless!!! #StrongerTogether #BlueCrew Just here to spread the good word!!!
This why Democrats win 23 years old vote. It's a demographic that is not represented by most YouTube Channels. youtu.be/9hcleyNa6iU?...
I’d be all for it if he took it and went to live in Qatar.
The necessity of defeating ALL GOP members is obvious. This is thievery from the pockets of Americans! And then Trump wants a huge ballroom to impress his friends! A room bigger than the actual White House!!!
They do it because we let them.
Yup. The only way these fuckers leave office is at the end of a barrel.
Time to occupy our fn building.
Exactly.
Set it in fire
Burn it down....Marcel
Unreal
🍊🤮💩💩🤬🤬...
But aren't big useless expensive jets noisier than wind turbines, and you can't bury them without making the dirt bad, and they kill birds and whales and people, and make chemtrails, and prove that the president and his overlords and thugs are utterly corrupt sobs?
Of course they did. This is all about paying (literally) a bribe to Trump personally. There is no way the plane will be finished by the time Trump leaves office so essentially it is nothing but a bribe to him.
Imagine being such a cowardly pussy, to Dump.
🎵🎵 Fly him to the moon And let him rot among the stars... 🎵
A key indicator to the forthcoming GOP resistance to the insider trading bill. Everyone of those slimy bastards is on the take. GOP = Grifters Only Party
YOU GOT TO BE SH*TTING ME
Why, why, why GOP?
How does America stop the madness. I cannot believe the GOP is a mindless cult
The people need to take them out!!Drag them kicking and screaming to the gallows and no that isn’t a euphemism. That’s literally what needs to be done. Until real justice is implemented they’ll keep terrorizing you and taking advantage of their situation. The only way to beat them is to scare them
What gives them the right to decide that? Technically it was given to the country not to the orange grifter.
It figures. Did Marsha Marsh vote to have the mango Mussolini gift himself with the gigantic plane too? Or was she just not available 🤷♀️
"when he leaves office.." Deal! no takebacksies!!
Fucking Republican Bootlickers
How do those Senators look themselves in the mirror? Shame.
Mirrors no longer reflect their image.
These people should be fkn ashamed of themselves. They have sold their souls and we all know it.
But doesn’t want Pelosi to get rich off the office
He needs to make more noise than a tweet
It does seem weird that we need to pass new laws to stop people from breaking valid and existing laws already on the books.
I say if he takes the jet, we get to keep all the extra parts they put on it
Collins (yes, her again), McConnell (no surprise), Murkowski (and her), Graham, Kennedy, Moran, Heaven, Boozman, Moore Capito, Hyde-Smith, Hagerty, Britt, Mullin, Fischer, Rounds If any of the people on this list are your Senator, call them and let them know how you feel about this! (202) 224-3121
done
Letting Trump take the jet with him when he goes is absurdly corrupt! How is the money for the retrofit being appropriated? I certainly don’t want $1B of my tax money going towards this!
OK, in all deadly seriousness, why? What has he offered them all - or - threatened them with? They are completely disconnected from their constituents or basic morality at this point. They seem to have lost all self-respect as well. There must be a very strong reason.
Behind everything else, the GOP is simply stripping whatever they can from America for spare parts to enrich themselves to absurd levels. That much, must be front and center. A true anti-rich movement must be borne of this moment of staggering corruption. They didn't work for it. They stole it.
If we ever get out from under this we must enact more stringent laws. First, no more free healthcare for Congress. Second, a Constitutional amendment that specifies a maximum yearly income.
Congress actually uses the ACA they get premium plans and all but still pay into it… just saying. Ironic considering GOP wants to shred ACA
I didn't know that. Thanks.
I did not read it in entirety just give you an idea though www.factcheck.org/2009/08/heal...
Or, free healthcare for everybody
Right, B Sanders has been saying this forever. Free healthcare
The Democrat’s messaging for the next election is being handed to them on a silver platter
Keep fighting the good fight, Senator Murphy!
So we pay 1 Billion with a B to retrofit it and he gets to keep it? So,basically a 1,000,000,000 dollar gift from the US taxpayers on top of the 440,000,000 dollar gift from Qatar, aka, the funders of Hamas. Wow! He is definitely winning.
The corruption never ends with Trump or the GOP that supports all of this. Unbelievable!🤬
But if it encourages him to leave office, it’s a bargain.
So, when he takes possession of that jet, he is going to pay taxes on at least $1.4 billion, correct? Because I know if any of us received such a gift, we’d have to pay taxes on it.
Very good point. I would imagine that Shitler will get out of it somehow. Nobody ever holds him accountable. Makes me angry and sad.
He’s never paid taxes before. Why start now?
Exactly.
We little people would have to pay tax - just not them - nobody has had the balls to go after them -
No, he doesnt pay tax and neither does Musk - none of them do to my knowledge - They don't even know how much money they have - It is that pathetic -
🤣🤣🤣 Nah, the Republicans will pass a big beautiful amendment to exonerate him from having to pay taxes. We all know it.
He won’t be around for any of this. Trust me.
I thought they already have something that allows them to write off private jets.
Of course! Why didn’t I think of that?
I guess the presidential library will take possession of it.
The democrats I’m sure will write a strongly worded letter.
Take it JUST LEAVE
😂
What's in the blackmailing files he has on all these guys who keep ignoring laws, the constitution, supreme court rulings and basic morality to allow TACO to get away with whatever he wants????
🤮🤮🤮
Corrupt MAGAt GOP. Despicable.
Then the jet should be given to him now, as is.
put a denver boot on each tire.
I wish he’d take it NOW and leave the country PERMANENTLY.
