No they won't. Trump granted asylum to farmers in South Africa that were being murdered. Now I'll add the other caveat.. These are white Dutch farmers, been there for generations being killed by native South Africans... The media is screaming they should just go back to where they belong...
I feel like if I said that about someone of a different race I'd be labeled as something.

RE: ABC: Trump to accept personal luxury jet from Qatar
Is the title of this mis-leading?
It is not a "personal" Luxury Jet. It is a [temporary] replacement for AF1 which is the Presidential Jet.
In the long list of things to give any F's about, this is waaaaay down towards the bottom.

Doesnt apply here. But thanks for playing "I think I know the constitution" game today.

Actually, the Dutch were there before the Black Africans. The Zulus didn't move South until after the Dutch settled the area.

Exactly. This isn’t even a gift to Trump but to the USA. If Boeing still doesn’t have theirs ready by Jan 2029, JD Vance will use this one until they are once he is sworn in

RE: ABC: Trump to accept personal luxury jet from Qatar
Why does the USA, home to Boeing, even need to consider taking a 747 from another country to fly POTUS around?
Why doesn't the USA have its own suitable jet.

They gave Boeing a contract for a replacement in 2018 and Boeing doesn't think it will be ready until 2029 at the earliest. lol

Here is my question... can Trump and his family use the jet after it goes to his library? If so then this definitely reeks of grift, something that I think everyone had issues with in the last administration.

Why do I think that? They gifted the "United States" a plane, that is going to the Trump library the moment the new 747s are completed. It is likely a 2 year retrofit for the Qatar plane, with a current plan to have the new 747s from Boeing in 2027 (as stated by the USAF). So, at essentially the same time as the Boeing ones are completed, this one will be completed. With such a close timetable what is the reasoning for taking a "gift" of a 747 from Qatar that will get little to no use by the United States government?

I am willing to bet that most of Congress has violated this constitutional statute.

Maybe the Qataris did this on purpose knowing how the Demonics would react and perhaps impeach him. That would be a bargain to get rid of Trump, only 400 million and hey perhaps they thought they wouldn't even have to give the plane to him.

Boeing itself says at least 2029.
With how much that company can't get out of its own way right now, I'd bet the over.

The USAF said last week they have a proposal from Boeing to have them available in 2027.

I would still like to know the answer to my question... once the library takes ownership of the airplane does Trump and his family get to use the plane for personal travel?

The "Trump Family" won't own his library. NARA administers libraries. Qatar giving the US a plane for the POTUS to fly on should have never been a story, if the "media" would have explained how it ACTUALLY works instead of using it as a Get Trump story.

Well, they fooled Elvis, Mensa, and Tom.
which, as shown time and time again, isnt very hard to do.....
