The typically Donald Trump-promoting New York Post joined the chorus of criticism over the president’s Qatari jet controversy as it urged him to “think twice” before accepting a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 from the emirate’s ruling family.

Trump, who is in the Middle East this week, has defended the reported imminent gift, which sources told ABC News would be used as Air Force One and then transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation when he leaves office.

But the New York Post’s conservative editorial board warned of potential conflicts of interest, stated that Qatar is “famous for seeking to buy influence,” cautioned how the “gift” will be “far from free,” and said “the optics are beyond awful, especially as Congress mulls hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.”

1. Team Trump is a euphemism

I take Team Trump to mean Krasnovites.

9. The title had me a bit flummoxed

I was thinking which one? The Astros? The Mets?

2. How can Trump think "twice" when he has never thought "once"?

[mdbl]

3. Think twice?

He never even thinks once!

[not fooled]

4. OK, this is important, but...

I don't know whether red don has influence over Quatar's timing of the offer, but lots of media attention is going to this instead of the GQPee's attempts to throw millions of Americans off Medicaid, and the catastrophic consequences thereof. red don is all about classic misdirection.

5. This whole sordid misadventure makes me feel ill.

6. Does anyone here really believe . . .

. . . that the fact of accepting this airplane from Qatar is illegal will stop Trump? Or even slow him down?

Anyone here believe he will turn it down?

Show of hands.

Anyone?

Anyone?

On the back row?

Bueller?

7. It should be called a 747 EB

for Egomaniacal Bribe..........

He thinks since it is a gift to HIM, he should retain ownership after he leaves office.
Of course, the Taxpayers would have to bear the full burden of fitting it out like the current 747's.....Which could cost in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Remaking that plane into a true AFOne would take years to refit it electronically, communication necessities, Defense systems, etc etc etc.........
His ego is just being fed, and he is upset that the two new AFOnes, being built by Boeing, won't be ready for years and years........
Also, Putin is pissed, because if the new AFOnes aren't finished by the time Trump leaves office, it won't bear the exterior color scheme that Putin wants Trump to use......horizontal bands of Blue White and Red........which are close to the Russian Flag.....

It is more than obvious at this point, 100 days into office, that Trump plans on using this term to grift even more than in his first term by far.

Trump is serving two masters: The 2025 7 Heritage groups, and Putin most of all..........
AND he is planning to corruptly grift, un-fathomably more money, in this term, making him the richest man in the world......
He deeply resents that his spawn and Jared, were covertly able to grift more money from the PPE, and Selling Intel to the Saudis, than he could during the first term. Jared was able to get TWO BILLION plus from the Saudi's for the intel, that his father in law got nothing for by just being forced to give it to Putin for free..........

8. What you say is absolutely true...

I say let him fly it, as is, back to the U.S. And maybe a wayward EMP may hit it? Don't solar flares put out EMP? (evyl gryn) Everyone tried telling him it wasn't fit to be AF1, but the real gold leaf sealed the deal for him. Nothing more important than that!

10. And another world leader

puts on his knee pads and kisses Trump's ring (or whatever)......and that intensely pleasures Trump to no end............
