Why dont you go read up on the personal use by ex-Presidents of items in the respective libraries.
Why don't you read the articles posted here that clearly state the jet is a gift to the USAF, not to Trump.
"The aircraft, during its operational life, will be used exclusively for official government purposes. Afterward, it becomes part of a presidential library, an educational institution run in conjunction with NARA. The chain of custody is public from start to finish".
Followed by a change of ownership to an entity that only Trump will enjoy its use.
That second domino again....
It would be given to Trump as a gift from the U.S. government by then.
Don't get me wrong. Regifting is tacky, but it's still legal because by then, it'll have been owned by the U.S. government, who in this scenario would be the regifters.
Why exactly should the US Govt gift *any* private person the exclusive use of a 900 million dollar 747?
This goes *way* beyond mere 'tacky'. It looks like not 'tacky' and more into the US Govt being a willing strawman to complete a bribe or influence payoff.
Good grief. I've known more than a few folk who ran into legal troubles doing exactly that sort of strawman deal.
No Gemini, this goes beyond 'tacky'.

RE: ABC: Trump to accept personal luxury jet from Qatar
I suggest a debate on the topic between Trump and Tanq.
They both seem pretty stirred up about the subject. I would pay to see it.

Then why did the Trump confirm the “gift”? Is he taking it back like tariffs?
