'Very bad idea': Republicans revolt over Trump scheme to get $400 million plane from Qatar

ABC News on Sunday reported President Donald Trump is poised to accept “what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government” — “a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar” to be used “as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation.”

According to ABC News, “the gift is expected to be announced next week” after “lawyers for the White House counsel's office and the Department of Justice drafted an analysis for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth concluding that is legal for the Department of Defense to accept the aircraft as a gift and later turn it over to the Trump library.”

As AlterNet reported Sunday, the proposed gift — which aviation industry experts told ABC is estimated to value "about $400 million” — stunned Democrats and journalists alike. But, as news of the plane plan proliferated on social media Sunday, even some Republicans were concerned about conflicts of interest arising from the proposal.

“I’m sure the podcasters who are deeply alarmed by foreign influence will be all over this,” National Review editor Philip Klein wrote Sunday on X.

Call me a crazy RINO neocon, but I think it’s bad for the President of the United States to accept a $400 million ‘gift’ from an Islamist regime that funds terrorist organizations that murder Americans,” conservative writer and podcast host Ian Haworth argued.

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson agreed.

“The Qatari government is not our friend, cooperates with Iran and its proxies, and funds terrorism and pro-terror propaganda around the world,” Erickson wrote in a tweet Sunday.

The Bulwark podcast host Tim Miller suggested Trump’s interest in receiving a gift from Qatar undermines the president’s “anti-semitism initiative.” The Trump administration has threatened funding for private universities over what it claims is a failure of universities to address rampant antisemitism on campus.

“Hamas’ sugar daddies are giving Trump a fancy plane? I guess the admin’s anti-semitism initiative has some carve outs,” Miller wrote Sunday.

National Review commentator Stephen L. Miller offered a succinct analysis on reports of Trump’s gift from Qatar.

That sounds like a very bad idea,” Miller wrote.

GOP lawmakers 'shocked' that Hegseth failed to make good on promises: report

Senior Republicans, some of whom were given personal assurances from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the Pentagon budget would be bolstered, were shocked and dismayed when he failed to come through.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, fingers are being pointed at Russ Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, who pulled the rug out from his fellow Donald Trump appointee and who is also facing a growing rebellion among Republican Party lawmakers.

As the Journal's Ken Thomas, Scott Patterson and Lindsay Wise are reporting, national security-oriented Republicans are not happy with Vought after believing Hegseth's assurances that the budget would fall in line with what they wanted to see.

The report notes Republicans are not happy that Vought is insisting "that military spending receive increases only through a procedure known as budget reconciliation, as opposed to the annual budget ... even as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and senior Republicans pushed for more funding.

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, singled out Vought, stating, "Russ has a lot of sway as the OMB director. He’s got a very sharp pencil.”

According to the Journal, Vought's belief that the president can "impound" funds he doesn't want to spend could lead to increased public battles with lawmakers, with the report noting, it "could set off a fight between lawmakers and the White House on who controls the nation’s purse strings. A senior OMB official said during a recent call with reporters that impoundment hasn’t been taken 'off the table.'"

Trump buried by Rick Wilson over his 'flying brothel' gift from Qatar

Former GOP campaign consultant and current full-time Donald Trump critic Rick Wilson appeared on MSNBC on Sunday morning and pounced all over a report that the government of Qatar is gifting the president with a $400 million jet that he will be allowed to keep when he leaves office.

Late Saturday ABC reported, "The royal family of Qatar is prepared to gift a 747-8 jumbo jet for Trump's use as Air Force One until the end of his term, when the aircraft will be transferred to his presidential library."

With the jet being dubbed a "flying palace," Wilson had another suggestion when speaking with host Ali Velshi.

"First off, this is what we call a bribe," Wilson began. "It's not a gift, it's a bribe, this is a bribe. This is a very, very expensive 740 7-8, it's a very fancy plane."

"In fact, the reason, I think that Qatar has been so smart about this is the interior decorating style.," he continued. "It looks like Saddam and Liberace's decorators got together and said, let's make a flying brothel that will appeal to Donald Trump."

"It is the most vulgar thing you've ever seen in your life, he added, "But that is his –– this is a bribe. This is not a gift, it's not a, it's not a loan, it's not a deal –– it's a bribe. And you need to, I mean, we need to just recognize how transactional and corrupt this is."

Trump facing 'broad-based and deep' collapse among voters who sealed his 2024 win

After over 100 days in office, support for Donald Trump among voters who normally are not found in the GOP camp but voted for him has already cratered.


According to a report from CNN, Trump got a boost in 2024 from " Latinos, younger men, non-White voters without a college degree, and, to some extent, Black men," but that support has withered away primarily due to a depressed economy.

According to longtime GOP analyst-turned-Trump critic Mike Madrid, "The collapse that he’s experiencing — I think that’s the right word to phrase it — is broad-based and it’s deep."
