Donald Trump is facing backlash from both conservatives and Democrats over his acceptance of a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 from Qatar’s ruling family. Critics have accused Trump of accepting a gift from a foreign state without Congressional consent, which they argue is unconstitutional. Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin and Sen. Chris Murphy have criticized Trump for what they see as a corrupt and illegal exchange. Sen. Bernie Sanders has called on Congress to prevent what he describes as an “over-the-top kleptocracy” from moving forward. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has also weighed in, mocking the irony of an “America First” message being associated with a gift from Qatar. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois who has been a vocal critic of former President Trump, recently inquired about Hunter Biden’s past involvement in selling a painting and facing a four-year investigation. The Democratic Party criticized this as “corruption in plain sight.” On the other side, conservative commentator Erick Erickson took to social media to highlight the Qatari government’s collaboration with Iran and its support for terrorism.
Laura Loomer, known for her far-right conspiracy theories and usually a staunch Trump supporter, condemned the move, expressing disappointment despite her loyalty to the former president. Jordan Libowitz from the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington raised concerns about Trump’s foreign policy decisions being influenced by gifts and business dealings.
In response, Trump defended the transaction on his Truth Social platform, emphasizing that the Defense Department received a free gift of a new aircraft to replace the aging Air Force One. He criticized Democrats for questioning the transaction and labeled them as “World Class Losers.”
