President Donald Trump has responded to the backlash to reports that the ruling family of Qatar is gifting him a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet during his trip to the Middle East this coming week.
“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 transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday night.
“Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA.”
The reported gift sparked immediate anger from Democrats, who accused Trump of corruption.
Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar’s Media Attaché to the U.S., told Newsweek on Sunday that the gift reports are “inaccurate” and that “the matter remains under review by the respective legal departments and no decision has been made.”
