Democrats are losing their minds over Qatar potentially gifting the U.S. a private jet to replace Air Force One temporarily. GAI Director of Research Seamus Bruner blasted critics of the move, saying that Democrats happily looked the other way for far worse situations when it was the Clintons and Joe Biden.
“It’s par for the course,” Bruner said. “This is why nobody trusts them more; I guess the political left does. It’s laughable. I mean, Hunter Biden was taking tens of millions of dollars from America’s number one enemy. So don’t talk to me about a deal that hasn’t happened with Qatar.”
“[Qatar] hasn’t even settled on giving it. And if they did, it would be a gift to the American taxpayers to save us money. Right. Not to Donald Trump,” Bruner added.
Bruner continued: “I remember back to the Clinton cash investigation. Saudi Arabia gave $35 million to the Clinton Foundation. And then basically the next day, [Hillary Clinton] approved $100 million in weapons deals. It was the most corrupt relationship with some of these Middle Eastern countries. To the Clinton Foundation, I believe it. Qatar gave money to the Clinton Foundation, which they used as their personal piggy bank for travel.”

This week, during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity aboard Air Force One, President Trump defended accepting the private jet from Qatar.
“The plane that you are on right now is almost 40 years old,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity, in an interview Monday as the president traveled to Saudi Arabia aboard Air Force One.
“And when you land and you see Saudi Arabia and you see [the United Arab Emirates] and you can see Qatar and you see all these – and they have these brand new Boeing 747s, mostly, and you see ours next to it – this is like a totally different plane,” the president continued.
“It’s much smaller. It’s much less impressive, as impressive as it is,” Trump said of Air Force One, a modified Boeing 747-200B aircraft that was introduced into service in 1990. “And you know, we’re the United States of America – I believe that we should have the most impressive plane.”
