Today's the day: Your taxpayer dollars are now being used to fix up a “free” plane Qatar “gifted” to Donald Trump. Up to $1 BILLION going to a plane that Trump's planning on keeping after he leaves office. So much for getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.
If he keeps it after leaving office, every dollar he spends improving it was STOLEN. Don't mince words. It'd be the same as if he had the interior of Mar-A-Lago encrusted with rubies and emeralds at the taxpayer's expense.
After we impeach him, can we take everything he owns before we send him to prison? Maybe Besos or Musk could buy it?🤗
Why would his cellmates buy it?
Whenever money disappears into a hole that size- I figure there’s a washing machine in there somewhere where
Orang cheato is the best ever at wasting money...our money.
Trump “all for me and NONE for thee”
Where is the money coming from to retrofit the plane? Was it reallocated from another area? I thought the legislative branch held the purse strings? Who is investigating to get the answers or will politicians just put posts out telling us what we already know?
I’m numb to it now. The first term I was irked by every golf trip, every visit to Maralago. It’s simply not sustainable to be outraged all the time.
So...FRIGGIN’ DO SOMETHING!!!!
In spite of the fact that trump’s ally, Netanyahu, just bombed Qatar 🥶
He is a waste, he committed fraud and he abused 13 year old children. Therefore trump is waste, fraud, and abuse so let's get rid of him
Nobody gets to keep their Air Force One. What is this nonsense? Why the passive response or lack of response to his out-of-bounds conduct?
Scumbags sucking the life out of the working class citizens…. “ We Pay, They Play”. So much for the quality of life and our social safety nets…..
And then they wonder why these young kids are being radicalized. Because this whole thing is leading to a feeling of hopelessness. The worst part is that career dems are just going along with it and everyone else in congress reports and complains and nothing changes.
Ms. Warren, what's the story on our 'chips', hundres of thousands of them, going to UAE? TFG got $2B in crypto. WTH?? Now they can share w/China?? He's selling us out. Taking all he can & his family & probably republicans. WTF, Liz?!?
He just got $3B from crypto. Make him pay for his own plane!! OR we get to keep it when he leaves. Surely they will 'gut' it before it leaves the WH. Insane. I do not want my tax dollars going to this stupid-ass OLD plane!!! They didn't even want it. Too expensive!! So he took it. 🤷🏼♀️🙄
Why not make the return of the plane to Qatar THE condition for the government funding vote? Republicans have to chose between keeping the government running or keeping the plane. We have to stop waste and corruption, and if we can do it while hitting trump where it hurts him it's even better.
A plane which later will have to be decommissioned at a similarly high cost so trump can donate it to himself before leaving office. This is the definition of corruption, from beginning to end. We're becoming a third-world dictatorship.
I’m so sick of him and his bullshit
With all the immigrant workers who paid taxes having been removed from this country, where the hell are they getting the money to do this?
How is this even legal?
It isn't. But he "owns" the justice department, the congress, the Supreme court and the media. So what can you do?
I really do not want my tax dollars going to something so appalling like that And Trump should hand over the plane when he leaves office
I think it’s just more proof he doesn’t intend on leaving office.
Unfortunately I agree
He's NOT keeping the plane after he leaves office. Just stop lying all the time. I doubt you'd know the truth at all after lying a lifetime appropriating American Indian heritage to your benefit knowing all along that you never had and American Indian heritage.

What are you DOING to stop it?
but will he live long enough to fly it from golf course to golf course?
Seriously what are we supposed to do? Like. I’m just lost and tired, exactly where they want me. Complacent. It really feels like the only way out of this is through revolution. What are your ideas, Senator? I’m fresh out.
he violates the constitution. Trump should be impeached
We need to be more outraged that he is wasting so much money. He is the costliest president, likely in history - and gives zero return on investment. Instead, he imposes high risk to the country, to citizens inside of it, and to other countries. We need BIG BOLD DISAPPROVAL. Tell him he's a FAILURE.
$400,000,000 didn’t buy Israel.
If RFK is going to ruin health care for the country can we build our own alliance & offer coverage that ACTUALLY covers people? I have shoulder issues & instead of help im told to "not lift anything" for the next 30 years. Im a fucking athlete and I cant get proper coverage to see a sports doctor.
Another cash giveaway to Trump benefactors. These non-taxpayers love taxpayers money.
To be fair, he's not planning to leave office.
I can’t bring myself to like this comment… but well put
Thanks for the impotent update.
Not good news!
It’s going to take a long time to refurbish it. Longer than some older people have left so some of us will probably not have the opportunity to see it completed. That would be sad.
Taxpayers' money on ballrooms, private planes, traveling and golfing, golden fixtures, etc!?!
Yes, and it comes with a ballroom
I believe that #DonaldTrump is ineligible to accept this plane since he is our current president, therefore it becomes the property of the US, who gets to keep using it long after he is gone. Disagree DJT? Sue US!
He can have the plane. He just needs to pay us back for the modifications. He's got the money. And who in their right mind would trust that plane?
Well, on the plus side, he's never leaving office.
Just think of how many rural hospitals would be saved by using those funds for the country instead of 47 Felon.
Hey at least you helped Obama and co. bring down Bernie. Better the oligarchy than the guy who wanted to fight it, right Liz? We remember.
He’ll be to stroke ridden to even be able to fly in it, or know where he’s at.
Considering Qatar got bombed after gifting the plane, and taxpayers get to pay for the upgrade, it's pretty on brand.
If it can be painted with a Jeffrey Epstein mural on the outside, it might be worth it.
The interesting thing about the free plane from Qatar is that Trump is in the Epstein files and he’s willing to sacrifice the civilian population of two countries, militarize American cities, incite political extremists, and pardon a woman convicted of trafficking children for sex to cover it up.
Schumer and the rest of us are using and going by a RULE BoOK that no longer exists. If we stay the course we will see the consequences.
Once we get this regime out of office, I want to claw back every single dollar stolen or wasted by those crooks. Every single dollar. We could probably get it all from Musk & he'd still be rich.
He should be forced to reimburse the American taxpayers when he leaves office & we should hold on to the plan until he does.
Billionaires unite
Biggest grift yet! When are people going to wake up and call their Republican reps and demand I oversight
I'm sure Collins will be bringing her best frown for this occasion, yes? Maybe Murkowski loses a night of sleep over her pained decisions?
The grift never ends
Trump plans to keep the plane when he leaves office.
The entire right IS the waste, fraud, and abuse.
The problem with that thinking is, I don't think Trump is planning on leaving office
Prediction: he’s dead next year. We sell it, keep the money.
In addition to that stupid ballroom!!
Elizabeth, thank you so much for staying focused on the real issues and not being distracted by Trump’s drama of the day Good work!
Who will pay for operational costs after he leaves office? Who gets the plane when he dies?
It’s really, really easy to hide where money comes and goes in construction projects.
And so much for congress holding a president accountable. Richard Nixon wasn’t even close to this corrupt
WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE. With our tax dollars. 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Billion $ for plane. 200 Million $ for Ballroom ...he's planning to stay.
If it IS fraud or an emoluments violation - then bring charges. Congress and the Democratic party continue to rant from the sidelines without progress to hold ANY SINGLE appointee by FELON POTUS accountable. Even when the AG claims a blatant crime to NOT be a crime (emoluments). It's still a crime!
The GOP controls the house and the senate. Only if the democrats can get the control and impeach the felon it's going to get worse. The GOP only cares about money for themselves. They don't give a fiddle for true law and order nor the constitution (if they've ever even read it).
How buggy is that plane gonna be? I bet it's wired for sound.
The Ballroom’s still a "go" though, right?
Ha ha ha ha. He’s never going to leave office, silly billy.
I’m so sick of this pos..
Does Schumer have any plan as minority leader to highlight or stop this abomination? What are democrats actually doing to stop anything? Action please.
Liz I’m surprised Qatar didn’t come and collect it after Israel attacked Qatar
How dare Trump give money to foreign countries! He needs to be impeached!
And, of course, we'll have to destroy it once we claw it back from Trump after his indictment and conviction.
It's nice to know we've already fixed everything else in the country and have nothing better to spend my tax dollars on than more gold paint for Trump's plane bribe.
