A Donald Trump announcement has left much of his hardcore following mad, and they're lashing out.

His loyalist backers on Truth Social and X were furious after he took to his social media platform to confirm reports he planned to accept a $400 million gift of a luxury plane from Qatar.

“JUST IN: Trump administration prepares to accept one of the most valuable gifts ever received by the American government - a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar - ABC It's known as a "flying palace," posted one fan, identified as @BooMo who has 17.4 thousand followers.

"Qatar is a terrorist sponsoring State. Needs to be sanctioned like Iran. For sure a 'gift' such as this would have strings attached. Things would be expected in return…… Don't take it. Thank them, sell it, use the money other things. DONT TAKE IT DJT Check it for bombs & spying devices beforehand. I don’t trust these people."

“The USA should never accept « gifts » from foreign powers !!! We love you Mr President but with every gift there are strings attached … besides bugs all over that plane. NEVER TRUST QATAR TGAT FUNDS, PROTECTS, HIDES, SHELTER HAMAS*H**ES!!!!” #BRINGTHEMHOME .. NOW! @Trump45Won posted on Truth Social.

Other followers echoed @BooMo's sentiment, including Schlomo who told their 5,000 followers on Trump's platform, “DON'T EVER TRUST QATAR! BACK-STABBING B-----DS! ISLAMIC STRONGHOLD & AMERICAN HATING CON ARTISTS! THAT PLANE IS PROBABLY RIGGED WITH DEVICES TO KILL TRUMP AND/OR HIS ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF! DON'T TOUCH THAT PLANE!”

“100% AGREE. The Trojan horse. Lots of business happens on that jet so of course they will arm it with bombs or sound pieces or even the controls as we know aircraft’s are crashing for no reason,” Emily Lada added.

“As a Trump supporter: please President Trump, don’t take the plane from Qatar. It’s not illegal (the Statue of Liberty was a gift), but it’s bad optics, and Qatar has often acted against our interests. If we must take the plane for some foreign policy reason, please sell it.” Jess Fields said on X.

VividProwess, who has more than 50,000 followers and previously shown support for Trump’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war, asked, "I know many are doubting Trump right now, but I trust him and feel he knows what he's doing and won't let Israel down. Am I the only one?"

Jamie, who identifies as #MAGA Pro-America Pro-Israel,” replied, saying, "This 400 million plane from Qatar plus Hamas releasing the American hostage is setting things up for Trump to go extra soft on these barbarians….That, plus Witkoff, Boulos, and DiMino advising him, has me slightly worried."
