It’s unclear what the actual gift is at this point. We were told yesterday that the plane would go to the “Trump Library” (probably conveniently located at one of his commercial properties) but apparently that may not be correct? So it would be used as Air Force One going forward, apparently. But who knows?
What we do know is that it will require the US Government to practically take it apart piece by piece to ensure that it’s secure from any kind of spying capabilities and will have to be completely retro-fitted to be used as the president’s plane probably costing hundreds of millions. I think at this point, we should just allow the Qatar government to give it to the Trump Organization so that Trump can have it when he leaves office. Why are we playing games here?
By the way, they checked and the Office of Legal Counsel said that Pam baoni didn’t have to recuse herself just because she was a paid lobbyist for the Qatar government just a few months ago. It’s no biggie.
And since we no longer care about conflicts of interest, much less the appearance of one, (until a Democrat holds the office) this is all just a-ok with the MAGA cult including those in the congress.
Never mind.
