A puppy takes down Nixon A plane ____________ Trump
Literally both the stupidest *and* most corrupt president in US history.
Will THIS be the corrupt action that finally breaks the MAGA cult following? He says kids can't have as many dolls and pencils this year but he's getting a new plane from a foreign government? How is this even legal?
This is disgusting
I’m old enough to remember Republicans flipping tf out claiming Obama and his “entourage” were staying at the Taj Mahal
IMPEACH REMOVE ARREST
fucking looser China better invade Taiwan now Trump will hide as a coward
taiwan doesn’t deserve to be invaded, but china could just roll in their territory literally right now and dump wouldn’t do sht about it 😭 that’s how fucked the situation is
I know (neither do I ) but it only shows how afraid Trump is
I'm curious what this is going to cost us.
Accepting a foreign Emolument is unconstitutional. This would violate a DIRECT prohibition in the language of the Constitution.
@democrats.org and everyone who cares about eliminating corruption: Make sure that the entire world associates the word "Trump" with this ostentatious, rich man's griftboat for the sky.
I remember the stories about when we let the Russians build our Russian embassy. It was SO full of listening devices. No offense but US Air Force One should be built on US soil by US companies for, you know, reasons.
I’m sure this was purely out of the kindness of their hearts.
YOU MISSPELLED BRIBE.
Crook
His diaper is slipping.
Where's the cuts to spending?
You fucking COWARDS - this is 100% illegal And here you title it as "Trump to accept luxury jet from Qatar to use as Air Force One" vs "Trump to accept illegal gift from Qatar" MY GOD - YOU FOR PROFIT MEDIA FOLKS TRULY ARE PATHETIC
Bribe Force One
Y'all bastards normalized him.
My late Mom & I, both Dems, were excited 10 years ago that Hillary announced she was running. We had high hopes we'd have our first woman POTUS. She was then livid every time CNN cut away from one of Hillary's speeches to an empty podium awaiting Trump. CNN helped Trump win and normalized him since.
This is why they should get no views.
Most corrupt and criminal president in American history.
When you let a career con man run the US government, every aspect of the government is for sale for his benefit.
Because he can.
What could possibly go wrong?
“Retrofitted” 🤣😂🤣 Not in Qatar it won’t. The US taxpayers will be paying to do that. Unless he’s going to turn it into his own Epstein plane, to entertain all his criminal buddies. You know the ones…
You mean accept a BRIBE from Qatar?
Bingo
Asked someone who voted for the guy if it's okay for Donald to do that: "I don't know." Walks away. Denial. Denial. Denial. Donald was still the better choice according to them.
Your post should say that this is illegal.
we have non-serious "leaders" in roles they are not interested in actually filling-they are all non-compliant, not following protocol-texts unsecure & not being archived-defunding & killing biden's good work-infrastructure? chip's/drug prices/keeping us safe?
he treats this honorable role as president as a job to entertain him-he is not a serious leader of a world power-he exploits and denigrates all we stand for-has not done anything to improve our lives-he killed Biden's drug lowering cost &wants to take credit for it-signing something else similar?
why? This is insane-How is this cost effective? How is this not corruption 101? a waste of our tax payer money, we still have to pay to keep any plane he uses ready to take off, etc. fuel, he flaunts wealth while telling families strollers are going to cost more-suck it up buttercup-
What a grifting pos 💩
The Qatari Royal Family has the chance to do the funniest thing.
And the Qatari government knows that with the level of incompetence displayed by this administration, they’ll miss half of the bugs they planted.
Is this a joke? “Raises” legal and ethical questions? No it fucking doesn’t. It’s grossly illegal. Period. Your phrasing is a great example of one of the major reasons we live in the most corrupt of times.
This seems like a good idea. Lol. What a fucking idiot.
The immaculate leader of the free world humbly serving his country and mankind insisting on shitting on a toilet of solid gold while flying. Right
Soooo the US president will fly on a plane given by a nation allied with China and Russia ? Oh boy that's going to be a fun year.
Only in the era of Trump could such a story emerge. Just another example of the grifter-in-chief who has total command of congress. Thus, no outcry of foul from his enablers - yet.
Isn’t it illegal to accept gifts like this from foreign powers?
It is but CNN doesn’t care.
Umm…doesn’t the US already have two functional 747s that are designated as AF1 when POTUS is aboard? Aside from the massive ethical and legal issues of accepting this plane, the cost to retrofit it to military standards is literally a waste of money. Where’s DOGE?
Yeah, and in exchange for this airplane he is going to sell our energy plants in America to Saudi Arabia. Sit back and watch
USA is so poor, the Qatar is paying for the White House a plane.
It sounds like the plane is actually a gift to Trump personally, which he’ll use as AF1 during his tenure and then keep after it’s over. Shady as hell.

There could be some some safety concerns here. On the bright side, there could be some safety concerns here.
*laughs in emoji at the irony*
👏👏👏👏👏
Make America great again, by accepting a second hand jet from Qatar for the US President 😂
You get only 2 dolls! I get my 400M airplane! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State" - Article I, Section 9, U.S. Constitution
Seems like this should be mentioned in any and all headlines, but alas.
Seems like one more Constitutional break wouldn’t matter to this administration.
Covering up the reality, the Qatari govt says this is a govt-to-govt arrangement, not a personal one. Anybody think he won’t treat that plane like secret govt documents and take it with him when he leaves office?
He and his junk drawer cabinet have shredded the emoluments clause from the beginning of their term .
So, what this tells me is that he shouldn't be in office.
So? It’s just words. Prove me wrong!
The spineless dems are chewing their nails to the core and wringing their hands. They don't know what to do but we can tell them with our index fingers! HASTA LA VISTA BABIES!!
bsky.app/profile/call...
Yes, this is illegal AF. Yet he's gotten vastly more than an aircraft. Through his hotels & other private holdings, he's been quietly taking bribes since the beginning of his 1st term. Yet not one charge for his oathbreaking ass.
Trumpy thinks he’s above the law and constitution
Congress??? Whats that?? Everything by executive order only
Air Force One. AHAHAhahaha!!!! Air Force One is highly modified with all kinds of defense mechanisms, communications, and on and on and on. They would need to strip the new plane to install the devices and equipment. NOT going to happen!
CORRUPT AS FUCK
This is so humiliating, so embarrassing… Gulf Arabs tossing their scraps to the dog. How was it…only in America, right?
Brown skin okay when hands him valuable gift(s), at least for a while.
he's such a whore
Y’all better start screaming about how this is a bribe and illegal.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: .. And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
He makes Clarence Thomas look like a rank amateur. Never again can a Republican with a straight face make ethics arguments about anyone. They have sold their souls to a grifting devil.
Another graft/bribe. What a surprise.
Only an idiot...
Corrected story, "...involving possibly the biggest foreign GRIFT ever received by the U.S. government..."
I literally can’t take anymore today…✌️ *Unless the thing that we all wish for every second happens I’m out until tomorrow…gotta protect my sanity.
Cheap date
Right after the blonde bimbo said he wasn’t doing it for his own personal gain. I wish nothing but bad things on these people
aka Bribery
"two people familiar with the agreement" amounts to journalism in the country these days
THE TRAITOR AND HOS CABINET OF TRAITORS BELONG IN PRISON. IMPEACHMENT ISN'T ENOUGH. RESIST, DEPOSE.
Remember when MAGA cried "Biden crime family" on the daily? Yeah!
#QatarForceOne
Not happening. A lot of electronics, missile countermeasures, communication equipment, and security facilities are required. Would take years. Special 747s are currently being built for delivery in 2027/2028 by Boeing.
CNN, could you possibly normalize this open bribery any more? There is nothing normal or ethical about this. It is a plane for his personal use and one that he and/or his family can use after he's out of office. This is bribery and you are treating it like it is something that happens every day.
What are you doing CNN??? You need to re-write that headline to call out exactly what this is. Spitting in the face of the constitution and democracy. Do better, CNN!!!!!!
F’n 🍕💩
100% CORRUPTION. Trump sold America.
Qatar is gifting it to the Pentagon. In turn the Pentagon will grift, I mean gift, it to Trump.
Is it a Trojan horse???
Of course not. Surely no one would be interested in bugging Air Force 1.
It seems that Trump loves the rich dictators. Where r u, honour?
#DestroyTheThing‼️
However one attempts to justify this - it is corruption pure and simple! And! But me no buts! The idea that the aircraft will be ‘donated’ to the Trump Foundation in 2029 cannot, given the short life span, disguise corruption!
“I think it’s frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit ... He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service not just once but twice.” Karoline "Baghdad Bob" Leavitt
Remember #CNN: Joe Biden having a son who wasn't working a minimum-wage job at Safeway was proof there was profound corruption throughout his administration. America does have standards! (At least two separate ones!)
Bribe
OMG!
You may want to do some actual journalism and state this is a direct violation of Article 1, Section 9 of the what was the Constitution. But as long as he’s good for ratings CNN will continue to boot lick Trump.
So much for “Made in America”.
That’s a pretty good bribe
Does your shit hole country have any foreign influence/bribery laws?
Does is have a laundered diaper department?
*it…..🙈
It says two bathrooms, nine toilets. Should be fine. 🏃💨
Perhaps it’s poop powered?
Turning poo into jet fuel is woke. 🤷
How about liquidised human blubber?
And CNN doesn't think it's important to point out to their audience in the caption that this will be illegal. There's no other media company whose brand has been more damaged by Trump than CNN but they still won't stop coddling him.
the US needs small change gifts. you are like dollar prostitutes
Do we have a count on the laws that have been violated? Asking for a friend…
It’s bribery. But MAGA will accept it. Soon a Trump will have a crown made and they’ll be glad we have a king again.
Really missed the Lede, Trump accepts massive foreign bribe.
So, there are no laws anymore
This post contains misinformation. Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar’s media attaché, in a statement said, "Reports that a jet is being gifted by Qatar to the United States government during the upcoming visit of President Trump are inaccurate."
Paging Mitch McConnell, your conscience called. It’s quitting.
constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic...
This is the same guy who just warned other countries that we might intentionally sabotage any planes we sold them, and now he is accepting a plane from another country? What could possibly go wrong?
Criminal behavior from a FELON
I mean the guy is just setting up one bribery scheme after the next and the people are so flooded with bullshit they don't even care anymore
It’s not just pathetic—it’s treason cruising at 30,000 feet. A foreign government gifting the current president a luxury jet isn’t diplomacy—it’s a payoff with wings. If a Democrat pulled this, Fox News would’ve declared martial law by now. But since it’s Trump? Silence. #BribeForceOne
He’s set to accept a bribe. Please report this correctly.
No mention that this is stunning corruption in the headline. No mention this is a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause. No mention that it’s a massive, idiotic security breach. Why should I even click on the article when it’s obvious you’re missing what is newsworthy about this?
Corruption at the heart of the US Government and CNN too shit scared to call it for what it is. Fucking cowards.
Accept, as a gift? Or pay millions for? Trump family business partners?
Sounds like charity. What's the matter can't afford your own.
But Hunter Biden....
You know, if you did your jobs worth a shit you’d have mentioned that this is highly illegal and in specific violation of a very explicit section of the Constitution.
Hey, if I murder someone, will that “raise legal and ethical concerns,” or does that phrasing not quite reflect my actions? CNN is a joke.
“Given the massive value of a Boeing 747-8, the move is unprecedented and raises substantive ethical and legal questions.” This is some weak ass bullshit. It doesn’t raise any questions. There is no question. The Constitution forbids it. Period.
CNN future headline: “Trump orders assassination of all Democrats in the House and Senate, raising ethical and legal concerns.”
CNN bent the knee a long time ago and it’s only gotten worse. Garbage network.
And it didn't even get them the respect of the people they bent the knee to. Imagine choosing to live on your knees for Trump only for him and all his cronies and fans to still insist you're the "lying liberal mainstream media"...
Looks like trump is good to go on accepting bribes from foreign leaders .. he has republican majorities both houses congress ..
It’s illegal!
Trump and China close in on trade deal after productive talks, Bessent says www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...
“The Felon Trump Administration is set to commit another impeachable offense. Speaker Johnson silent on another constitutional violation.” There. Fixed the headline for you.
The question isn’t is whether Felon Trump has committed an impeachable offense. He has committed numerous. Just choose one. Any.
So nice of them to donate! No strings attached either.
Bizarre and smells of Bribery !
How much money will be wasted painting and hardening this "gift/bribe" of our taxpayer money? It is ridicilous how far America has fallen. The largest bribe ever taken from a President...for shame.
Nothing is free, so what did Trump give them/sell out the American taxpayer for in exchange?
The Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8) of the Constitution requires that Congress approve/disapprove any president accepting such a gift from a foreign power. Congress, do your job! If Trump gets away with this obvious example of corruption, it's on you!
If it takes years to 'harden' the aircraft, install security, comms, electronics....etc and he rushes it. Maybe the half-assed plane would have an "unfortunate incident" while his ass is riding it? I wish I had 2 pencils. 😑
It's "unprecedented" because it's illegal
Uh…retrofitted to be Air Force One is not Air Force One. Give up the plane or the presidency you narcissistic sociopathic grifting loser…
Hey it seems you guys forgot to mention the part where it's illegal, unconstitutional, and blatantly corrupt. Honest mistake though I'm sure!
Trump thinks kids can only have two dolls but he can have a luxury plane.
What could go wrong?
The US president is for sale. What a vile C.U.N.T.
Report this as the bribe that it is.
Grifter in Chief
The fuck?!
Are they paying for the upkeep, too? What are they getting in return for this "gift". If it was any other president, the opposition would be up in arms. Why do people continue to suck up to him? How is this gov for the people?
BRAVO 👏
It’s a bride. They never would have given Biden or Harris such a plane but they will give Trump one because he is corrupt and he will provide what the Qatari want. #corruption
Here’s the truth. @cnn-news.bsky.social @60minutes.bsky.social Please forward to Anderson Cooper. He’ll know what to do with it. A great topic for him to cover on 60 minutes and or The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper. thehill.com/opinion/nati...
Andy is covering this tonight. His hour reports at 11pm EST.🙂 The banner under Jim said Gift or Grift?
American tax dollars are going to pay for the retrofitting right? This won’t cross his voters minds. They’ll say it’s because he’s so loved by other countries. I’m sure that’s what he’ll say. Some say they are allies, but think again. thehill.com/opinion/nati...
Maybe you worthless shits should mention that it’s an illegal gift according to the constitution. But no, our media is always running interference for Trump.
Air Farce One.
Bribe 🤫
What happened to the very expensive Air Force One planes that Trump ordered during his first term which he stated he negotiated a great price?
making America great again .. every day one inch at a time.
CNN, don't normalize this bribe with your lackluster headlining. Call it what it is.
“In a clear violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution… “ You fuckers are not doing your job when it comes to headlines
For his library....which is a joke ....this crook has trouble reading or writing...
The statement "we deserve a government without corruption" reflects a widespread sentiment about the importance of ethical and accountable governance. Corruption erodes public trust, hinders economic development, and undermines democratic processes. A government free from corruption is crucial.
We the people don’t want that plane.
This is ridiculous on SO many levels. Ethically, legally, functionally.
Trump crime family keeping the corruption party going
*accept a bribe from…” fixed that one for you
Constitutionally wrong, not to mention this will negate all his buddy's waste and fraud crusade because the cost for this will be immense, and parts may have to be imported (tariffs).Time and processes will be on our side,he's naturally short on that.
I would think that retrofitting would take 2 or 3 years. Hopefully Tim will like it.
He'll just wait for the 'official' AF1 to be completed. I don't think he would like all the gold trim and use the same golden toilet the orange guy dumped in.
Al Gore
Emoluments clause
What happened to "buy American"??
The Qatari royal family just bought the American government.
The president is flying around in a luxury plane telling people to buy only two dolls. What a pathetic moron.

Boeing needs more competition in order to do better, and the Trump Administration needs to buy American. Stop the hypocrisy!
@markwarner.bsky.social, @kaine.senate.gov, and @mcclellan.house.gov is Virginia going to stand for this clear and blatant bribery?
