Why Qatar is bribing Trump

https://open.substack.com/pub/popularinformation/p/why-qatar-is-bribing-trump

Qatar wants:
- U.S. weapons
- Military protection
- U.S. foreign policy influence in the Middle East
- Favorable trade terms and investment opportunities

Trump wants:
- bribes

So Qatar gave him a 0 million plane and a .5 billion golf course deal.

This isn’t complicated.

Qatar wants:
- U.S. weapons
- Military protection
- U.S. foreign policy influence in the Middle East
- Favorable trade terms and investment opportunities

Trump wants:
- bribes

So Qatar gave him a $400 million plane and a $5.5 billion golf course deal.

This isn’t complicated.

1. From Qatar's point of view, it's perfectly logical. They haven't forgotten 666 Park Avenue.

They bought off MF45 through Jared Kushner during the Arab League blockade. It's in Qatar's survival interest that MF47 stays bought.

8. I love the "666" part of that address.

VERY fitting!

9. They renumbered it later. . . . . nt

[calimary]

14. Yeah - somebody finally noticed.

22. It's an oldie, but a baddie!

[Lonestarblue]

2. Fortunately for Qatar, Trump is easily bought.

He has no integrity so all it takes is enough money and he will do whatever the Qatar rules want. Favorable US government policies are now for sale to the highest bidder.

3. Trump will go down in History

as being the best politician money can buy, bar none....

[rubbersole]

4. But, but the plane is "free"...

He should be allowed to keep it. After getting the Pope elected and bringing China to its knees (laughing) in the bestest trade deal ever - the Dear Leader deserves a little luxury. With the Qatar hotel and the Gaza strip mall, the entire region will love us!

5. I'm surprised the orange hitler hadn't used the excuse he's saying taxpayer money by accepting this bribe

From a funder of Hamas…….wait for it !

6. Qatar could be a front for another party/country ... nt

[Iamscrewed]

7. Repugnuts

Outright corruption, it's their brand.

[Bettie]

10. And he's pretty easy to bribe

all they have to do is flatter him and give him something....a plane they no longer use.

[Mr.Bee]

11. With Trump

the obvious is all you need to know is true.

[ananda]

12. Does that mean Trump has to stop bombiing Houthis?

???

[Quanto Magnus]

13. The other thing I've wondered

what happens when Trump's greed ultimately makes him take bribes from 2 opposing parties who then demand things against the other briber....?

[Bev54]

15. Qatar should be made to sign an extradition treaty with the US.

along with Saudi Arabia and UAE. Need a way to get all the Trump family and cohorts back to pay for their crimes, should they ever be charged.

[Uncle Joe]

16. and/or for something that he has already done

Thanks for thread IrishBubbaLiberal

17. I would never, ever accuse Sheikh al Thani of stupidity on any level

and I have to wonder just how calculated this is, giving a plane laden down with real gold leaf on every surface (and even gold leaf adds up, gold is heavy stuff) to the only world leader with enough cupidity to take it, the man who crashed the oil market with his stupid tariffs and cost Qatar a great deal of money, raising serious questions about bribery, naked corruption, emoluments, and a host of other nasty issues it will be hard for him to dodge, even with that marshmallow controlling the House for the next year and a half.

Oh, I think the Sheikh knew exactly what he was doing.

19. The SlobFather is transparent - he doesn't hide much.

20. That plane will never be AF 1

To make into a VC 25 the structure is stripped bare bones.
Then the armament and countermeasures mods to the airframe are unique to type. New wiring and avionics will set them back years.
By then the Boeing built VC 25s should be complete.
Subcontractors will need to build all the Com Sec as I doubt it's off the shelf.
Another distraction while stripping Habeus Corpus and draining the treasury. He is purposely clogging our legal system.

"... the current planes (2 AF1 planes) are not up to the standard of those used by other world leaders."

Who kidding who?
None of the other world leaders, have anything close to what the 40 year old AF1 provides.

Article states that the 2 new AF1 being built, will not be available until 2027.
These planes have to be able to withstand an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack.
This is a massive electronic pulse that can knock out all electrical equipment.
To make AF1 capable of withstanding an EMP attack would mean that all the wires have to be shielded.
A plane flying, hit by an EMP, would fall out of the sky, without this shielding.
You think the Q-AF1 would have this capability?
Not for $400M. The 2 AF1's on order, that won't be ready until 2027, will cost $1.95B (yes billion) each.

When we receive the Q-AF1, it would have to be retrofitted with all the counter measures that the 2 we ordered have.
Guess what? I'm betting that the Q-AF1, will not be able to fly during Mierda47's term in office.
The 2 that are on order, will be available before the Q-AF1 is ready to fly to our standards.

23. Could Qatar Be Fronting For Saudi Arabia?

They gave $2 billion to Kushner in 2020, so $400 million would be small potatoes to Saudi Arabia. What for is another question.

24. Trump is SALIVATING thinking of what he can get from other countries

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GRIFT, ALWAYS HAS BEEN
