NextImg:Donald Trump Makes Outrageous 'World Class' Claim Over Qatar Jet 'Gift'
LOADINGERROR LOADING

President Donald Trump defended his reported plans to accept a $400 million jet from Qatar to serve as Air Force One by taking off on a rant.

Trump wondered aloud why he would turn down a freebie and called Democrats “World Class Losers” for criticizing the deal, even though some Republicans gave it a thumbs-down as well.

ABC News reported that Trump planned to retrofit the 747 as his presidential plane until near the end of his term and then the title would be turned over to Trump’s future presidential library.

“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 wrote on Truth Social. “Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA.”

Democrats called the deal unconstitutional, “wildly illegal,” bribe-taking and promoting a “kleptocracy.” Even far-right GOP influencer and reporter Laura Loomer criticized it. She said the acquisition is “really going to be such a stain on the admin if this is true.” Fox NewsMark Levin agreed.

Hours after the news broke, a Qatari military attache said in a statement: “Reports that a jet is being gifted by Qatar to the United States government during the upcoming visit of President Trump are inaccurate. The possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently under consideration between Qatar’s Ministry of Defense and the US Department of Defense. But the matter remains under review by the respective legal departments, and no decision has been made.”
