Based on the most helpful WSO content, there is no specific discussion or information about auctioning a plane from the Qataris or its potential use to support causes like aiding homeless or disabled veterans in America. If you're exploring creative ways to address such issues, you might consider looking into philanthropic initiatives or government programs that focus on veteran support and homelessness.

If you'd like to dive deeper into related topics, feel free to ask!

Because he knows Republicans won't do shit about it. Their hypocrisy is reserved for Hilary's email (but not Hegseth's 3rd party app usage) and  Hunter's corruption (which was a lie by a Russian spy who's currently in prison, not to add that Jared Kusher actually took in billions from the Middle East)

 

Fuck Qatar. They know damn well they were paying a bribe. I don’t care how they feel when we set fire to the plane and watch it burn.

 

Because that's insanely disrespectful to the Qataris and defeats the entire purpose of the relationship building tour Trump's been doing in the Middle East. Where are you getting that it's too expensive to mod to become AF1? They have to go through the process anyway because the current one has been in service since 1990.

Actually they're already going through it.  Mr Trump just wants his free plane a little earlier than he's gonna get it.

And what a load of utter nonsense.  You think the Qatari's will give a shit what Mr Trump does with the plane he demanded?  Why should they care about that and not literally anything else he does?

Mr Trump is a small man who has failed at everything he's put his hand to except killing more Americans than any other President in history.  And like all small men, he likes it when people pretend he's strong and give in to his demands, which explains pretty much his entire second term so far.  He'll keep the plane because it strokes his ego.

Though it is always amusing to imagine what would happen if it were, say, Mrs Clinton receiving it.  Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on dozens of investigations, is my guess.  Kind of like how she used a personal email address (like many of her predecessors) and that was the crime of the century, while Mr Hegseth is inviting half the country or so into extremely secret discussions about actual miliutary operations and somehow that's no big deal.

Clinton is probably the worst example you could pick, but sure, I guess it's totally fine if he set up a foundation and raised a few billion from foreign governments in cash instead lol. He's just sooo desperate for a 3rd or 4th PJ, you're totally right. I'm not even going to debate the Hegseth stuff because I don't know enough about it but I did read (not clear if 100% accurate) that it's not Signal they're actually using but a clone (built by an Israeli company ironically) that preserves all the chats specifically for record keeping and it was supposedly chosen because the encryption was more secure. Hegseth wasn't the one who added the journalist, that was Waltz, who was a terrible pick to begin with because he's a neocon chomping at the bit for a direct confrontation with Iran which the current admin is clearly trying to avoid.

I never said I agreed with the gift to begin with, I don't and think it clearly looks horrible and reflects poorly. Not sure what you meant by "they're already going through with it" and the killing more Americans than any President in history is just... so painfully false I'm not going to bother engaging further. Enjoy your therapy session.

So it seems you're not a fan of Trump?

The constant emphasis on "small" when the man's 6'3 gives the impression he's got quite the height complex.

The constant emphasis on "small" when the man's 6'3 gives the impression he's got quite the height complex. 

You do understand that "small" can have many meanings, and not just the single one that you find it easy to refute?

Mr Trump is inadequate and knows it.  He's incompetent and knows it.  All of that makes him "small".  He's a weak man who looks at self-styled "strongmen" and wants what they have, which is why he's so fawning over any and every dictator to cross his path.  Once you understand this, everything he says and does makes perfect sense.  Tariffs don't have a purpose except to have foreign officials plead with him for relief, because that makes him feel strong.  Support and popularity are measured by the crowds that turn out to see him, which is why he's so obsessed with in person rallies and so lunatic about challenging claims that he doesn't get the biggest and best crowds for, say, his inauguration.  Making claims he has no intention of keeping is fine, because the important part is that he gets to boast, not that he manages to accomplish.

Mr Trump is obsessed with looking "strong" without actually doing anything to back that up.  He's willing to gamble with the lives and livelihoods of the people he purports to serve to achieve that feeling.  He's a bully, plain and simple, and the best possible word to describe a bully is "weak" because that's what they are - weak people compensating for that inner sense of inadequacy.  It's why he sends out for mail order brides, why he stiffs contractors and partners, why he displays such contempt for the people who vote for him.

The fact that's he's tall has nothing to do with it and is such an obvious dodge on your part that it's actually laughable.  It literally laughed out loud to myself reading that, that Mr Trump has so thoroughly demolished your ability to defend him and his policies that you're reduced to this.

Learn to admit a mistake and change your mind.  It'll make you a better person.  It's like if someone told you that a company was bankrupt and the stock was down and your serious retort was to buy it because it was "up" because that word appears in the word bankrupt.

A full dissertation reply to a single sentence that wasn't a question is 100% confirmatory FYI
