I am really shocked that Trump *****allegedly***** LIED about the airborne Qatari Cat House being a "gift." SHOCKED.

Sources contradict Trump narrative about Qatar offering plane as ‘gift’

After the Pentagon’s initial engagement with the company, Boeing provided US defense officials with a list of other Boeing clients around the world with planes that could work in the meantime, three of the sources said.

“And Qatar was one of the clients,” the second source familiar with the discussions said, adding the Pentagon “offered to buy the plane” and Qatar indicated it was willing to sell it.

The Pentagon had launched the discussions with Qatar after learning that the White House supported the idea, the third source familiar said, and Witkoff helped facilitated the initial conversations, the White House official said.

The third source recalled that the initial discussions were about leasing the plane, rather than buying it outright.

1. Are we sure that THIS is the truth?

It sounds like a great way to squirm out from under an avalanche of criticism about accepting the plane as a gift.

4. I put *****ALLEGEDLY***** in the subject line for a reason

WHATEVER HAPPENED, I do not believe Qatar approached him and said "PLEASE accept this GIFT from us."

It doesn't MATTER if Air Force One will make it until Boeing delivers. It's not "opulent" enough for him. He bitched about it in his FIRST term.

Look at Trump's list of demands...the fucking SEAT BELT BUCKLES have to be plated in gold, gold and marble everywhere, a big screen TV with theater sound so he can "enjoy movies," an "OREO STATION" so he can stuff his fat face with Oreos...what the HELL is an OREO STATION? The "Trump Family Crest" which isn't actually HIS family's crest at all, STITCHED INTO ALL OF THE SEAT CUSHIONS?

It's not a matter of reading the lines, it's reading what's BETWEEN the lines.

Whatever the 100% stone cold ACTUAL truth is, I do not believe he was APPROACHED out of the blue with a "free gift."

2. Trump lied?

What a surprise.

3. So a group of fools is responsible instead of just Trump?

He whines. They shower him with gifts to shut him up. We the People pay for it all.

[Miles Archer]

5. Oh, I think the group of fools acted on Trump's demands

As I said above, he's complained about AF1 before...not "opulent" enough for him.

6. Qatar has been trying to unload that plane for years

And they needed a sucker to take that
White Elephant off their hands. And they
found a sucker in Krasnov. "An important man
like you needs an important plane."

7. To Trump, a "gift" is when he "buys" something, takes delivery, and then refuses to pay for it.
