Qatar and the flying palace

I personally believe that the plane offer was negotiated by Trump's family during the golf course discussion.

But that would be impeachable, so probably not ..right?
You're a dumb ass. I told you that negotiations for this aircraft began under the Biden administration.

Middle East

Republican says Biden started controversial negotiations for backup Air Force One​

'This conversation started with Qatar with Biden a year ago' – Sen. Markwayne Mullin​

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., recently claimed that widely-criticized negotiations with Qatar over a $400 million Air Force One temporary replacement gift began under the Biden administration – not after President Donald Trump took office.

"What no one is talking about is [that] this same 747 has been in negotiations for a year," Mullin said on CNN Wednesday.

"The Biden administration is the one that started these conversations. It didn't start underneath the Trump administration – why? Because we need a back-up for Air Force One."


Mullin said there is no current backup plane for Air Force One, which is about 40 years old. A recent backup was retired from service due to "structural issues," the senator said.

If this is true...

Why is the fact that the Biden admin was smart enough not to take the bribe lost on you?

WE KNOW WHY!

Yes, you copy pasted shit as if it were your opinion...as you have here.

I have my opinion.

Fuck off.

One Congressman has stated this. No congressman has corroborated the statement because it's a lie.

You're full of shit.
 
If we start now, we could blow a few hundred million to make the Orangeman's plane worthy of being Air Force one so that it would be ready to NOT be Air Force one in his retirement. What a waste of money!
Now.... why can't Boeing finish the god damned work on what were BRAND NEW planes.... without a bunch of built in bugs. That is a different question. Here's an American company in AMERICA that is not what it used to be!! WHY! Regulations or some bullshit business leaders???

But... Trump gets a promise to buy more Boeings than Qatar's entire national budget? Is that all for their royalty??
I'm not looking up these "facts" The fact that media repeated the Administrations bullshit without checking says everything about news in Amerikkka.

During a press conference held today, HE Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, Minister of Finance, presented details of the budget, which projects total revenues worth QAR 197 billion.
BUT........... they promised Trump 1.2 Trillion????????//
The Boeing contract is 96 billion??????????????? Something stinks.
In 2025, Qatar's national debt is estimated to be around $90.22 billion. This represents a significant increase from the earliest data point in 1990, but the increase hasn't been continuous, according to Statista. The debt-to-GDP ratio in Qatar is estimated to be about 40.5% in 2025.
 
Trump’s administration loves Qatar and Qatar loves them back with the only love language they know money.

The airplane deal was signed off by Attorney General Pam Bondi. She used to work at a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm that received $115,000 a month from Qatar to fight human trafficking, according to a 2019 contract reviewed by The Free Press.
President Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, led lobbying firm Mercury Public Affairs when it represented Qatar’s embassy in Washington. FBI Director Kash Patel worked as a consultant for Qatar, though he didn’t register as a foreign agent.

And then there is Steve Witkoff, president Trump’s longtime friend and senior adviser, who is accompanying him on his trip this week. For months now, Witkoff has served as Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East—and his name has been floated as a future national security adviser. Witkoff also happens to be a beneficiary of Qatar’s largesse: In 2023, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund bought out his faltering investment in New York’s Park Lane Hotel for $623 million.

Poor, fake lace…
If you were just a casual reader of these facts—an ordinary American who doesn’t think much about the Middle East after America’s traumatic wars of the 2000s—you would think Qatar is a top American ally, a trustworthy partner, and a key hub of international commerce—a country in good enough standing that the president of the United States would use its plane as Air Force One.

But Qatar is also a seat of the Muslim Brotherhood, a crucial source of financing to Hamas, a diplomatic and energy partner of Iran, a refuge for the Taliban’s exiled political leadership, financier and cheerleader of Palestinian terrorism, and the chief propagandist of Islamism through its media powerhouse, Al Jazeera, which reaches 430 million people in more than 150 countries.

The Trump administration first approached Qatar to inquire about acquiring a Boeing 747 that could be used as Air Force Oneby President Donald Trump, four sources familiar with the discussions told CNN. That’s contrary to the narrative from the president that Qatar reached out and offered the jet as a “gift” to him. After Trump took office in January, the Pentagon contacted Boeing and was told the company would not be able to deliver the new jets it was building to replace the aging presidential planes for another two years, the sources said.


The Trump administration, however, wanted a replacement plane much faster, and the Air Force was exploring different options for doing so. At the same time, Trump tasked his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff with finding a list of viable planes, a senior White House official told CNN.
