President Donald Trump celebrated the controversy. He also needs to judge the unnecessary fulfillment of issues with his political issues to take advantage of.
That appears to be the case with the newest White House Dust-Up, this one involving a “free” plane from Qatar. The Middle Eastern Country offers a 10-year-old Boeing 747-8 administration temporarily serve as an air force. Boeing is struggling to meet deadlines for delivering two new jets to fill in that paper.
It doesn’t turn into a deal, but Trump’s critics don’t wait for details.
“Nothing says ‘America first’ like Air Force A, brought to you by Qatar,” Read an attractive statement Chuck Schumer. “It’s not just a bribe, this premium foreign influence with extra lamps.”
As expected, the President continues with a less likely to hurt. “So the fact that the defense department is getting a gift, free of charge, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent, for the plane,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Anyone can do that! Dems are the world’s class losers !!!”
But it’s not about saving money. While bribe cases are enlarged, there are legitimate behavior issues with play. A “gift” of this size from a foreign government – the jet itself, with no repair, can run $ 20 million – a terrible look.
We will remember constitutional officers federal officials to receive “any current, urge, office or foreign situation” without “Congress allowed.”
In addition, Qatar is not some pristine with american. The US State Department recognizes “reliable reports” of arbitrary arrest and extreme restrictions on free expression, press and freedom of association.
The country also confirmed financial Hamas’s financial group, which carried Barbaric October 7 attacks against Israel, our regional allies.
Other critics raise security concerns about the plane itself.
A handful of Senate Republicans – Susan Collins, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz – encouraged back against the President. Them on firm soil. It is not a political capital issue, especially the White House must negotiate trade deals and guardian laws of Congress.
Trump touts his “art of agreement” skills. He needs to know that this is a bad.
