I’m not seeing how this is a good idea

I thought he said the plane would be donated and put on display at his presidential library when his term was over which indicates to me that it's not DoDs.

Presidents can't accept personal gifts like that, especially from foreign countries. If Trump did accept a luxury plane from a foreign nation, I'm pretty sure articles of impeachment would already be drawn up.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's all a hoax and there's no plane, Trump just seeded that to the fake news media to give them something to snap at.

"Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?" he said
"Rosanna Arquette doesn't look like a thing like Madonna
And you'd have to be a moron
To desperately seek either one."

This tattoo won't come off
I thought it was the lick 'em/stick 'em kind
But I couldn't figure out what that machine was for
Or why I was in so much pain

That bottle of Aunt Jemima better stop talking to me
She's making too much goddamned sense
I'm really stoned and I think Mom
Put acid in my orange juice again



"You big huge phallic representation of mankind"
She says to my orange juice glass
And she turns on me and says something about
How she hates being a stupid ****ing racial stereotype

This is an interesting back story

I wouldn't trust anything Axios says, especially when their sources are NYT and ABC.

From the story:

Qatar's royal family plans to donate the luxury jumbo jet to the Defense Department, then it'll be transferred to President Trump's presidential library when he leaves office

I am pretty sure Trump can't take AF1 with him when he goes. Presidents can't even take furniture or tchotchkes from the White House, I doubt they can take a luxury military plane.

Trump himself actually said that he planned on donating it to his library when he left office although that may have been him just spitballin'.

The Axios story may be part fiction but there is some truth to that. Trump toured the plane when it was in Miami in February and here's the article I found on it from back in February.

in 2012, HillaryClinton, serving as Secretary of State, received a pearl necklace valued at $425 from Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Under the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act, U.S. officials are prohibited from retaining gifts from foreign governments exceeding minimal value unless approved by Congress. Consequently, the necklace was transferred to the General Services Administration, as required by law .

Yeah, I think we’re thinking about the ****ing $hit she tried to take out of the White House, including furniture.

You were probably still in a morphine dream when that all happened.

Well, he cannot donate government property because it's not his to donate. I don't know what's going on, but I do know Trump cannot accept an airplane as a personal gift from a foreign country, nor can he take government property with him or donate it when his term is up.

Can she accept these gifts personally?
Of course not while she is in office, but she isn't. Officially now her role is the same as mine. She is just a citizen, she no longer has an official Government job. The media likes to use her for their BS, but in truth she has no official standing.

Can she now accept those gifts? I don't know, but if she did she would have to pay taxes on them I suppose.
Someone should give her a jewel encrusted Hari Kari knife.
