Trump Loses His Cool Over Pushback to Qatar Jet Deal

President Donald Trump told people criticizing his decision to accept a luxury jet from Qatar to pipe down Sunday in a late-night post on Truth Social.

The issue united both Democrats and Republicans in outrage after ABC News broke the story that Trump planned to take the $400 million Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to use as his new Air Force One.

But the president called those who questioned the ethical implications of such a massive gift “world class losers” in a scathing statement.

“So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane,” Trump penned on Truth Social. “Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA.”

No dipshit it's the fact that you want to keep the damn thing after you leave office.

Hey! He’s being open about it!
So what. It’s ending up at his POTUS library so he is getting something out of it if this actually happens

Imagine the GOP's reaction if Harris, Biden, Obama, or Clinton had answered a question like this?

The mantra of the Democratic Party should be:

"The Republican Party endorses ALL of Trump's criminal activities, yet the public continues to relect them.
