Is Trump going too far, or did Boeing drop the ball?
Glenn recently discussed President Donald Trump's consideration of accepting a $400 million Boeing 747-8 from Qatar’s royal family as a temporary Air Force One, which has sparked heated debate. Trump supporters argue that it is a prudent move, the current Air Force One is old, and Boeing is way behind on the replacement that was ordered in 2018 and promised to be delivered in 2024. Qatar is offering a free replacement plane while Boeing gets their act together, providing the POTUS with a new plane without charging the taxpayers. Trump also clarified that the plane would not be donated to him, but to the Pentagon, and that he would not use it after he leaves office.
Critics, including Democrats and some allies like Laura Loomer, slam the entire situation as a violation of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, citing potential foreign influence and security risks, especially given the Trump Organization’s $5.5 billion Qatar deal. With legal analyses from the DOJ claiming compliance and calls for ethics probes growing, will this deal uphold public interest or fuel corruption concerns?
Glenn wants to know what you think. Should Trump accept the plane? Does this deal count as a conflict of interest? Could the plane be hiding any malicious Qatari tech? Let us know in the poll below:
