      ***From Business Insider’s Grace Eliza Goodwin and John L. Dorman***:

      [President Donald Trump](https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump) may soon be receiving a luxury jet from Qatar, and even some of MAGA’s most faithful are against it.

      On Sunday, [multiple](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-poised-accept-palace-sky-gift-trump/story?id=121680511) %5Boutlets%5D(https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/us/politics/trump-qatar-jet-gift-air-force-one.html) reported that the Qatari royal family is preparing to give the Trump administration a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet, to be used as Air Force One during Trump’s second term before being donated to Trump’s presidential library. Though the exact value of the specific jet in question — which is 13 years old, [according to ABC News](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-poised-accept-palace-sky-gift-trump/story?id=121680511) — isn’t clear, a new 747-8 jumbo jet fetches a whopping $400 million.

      The gift has been panned by frequent Trump critics like Democratic Senate Minority Leader [Chuck Schumer](https://www.businessinsider.com/chuck-schumer-career-house-to-senate-majority-leader-new-york-2022-12) of New York and Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, but in a notable break, some of Trump’s most ardent MAGA loyalists have also criticized the potential plane deal.

      „I love President Trump. I would take a bullet for him,“ [Laura Loomer, a conservative activist](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-world-laura-loomer-criticizes-lockheed-martin-f-35-2025-4) and longtime Trump ally, wrote on X on Sunday. „But, I have to call a spade a spade. We cannot accept a $400 million ‚gift‘ from jihadists in suits.“

      „This is really going to be such a stain on the admin if this is true. I’m so disappointed,“ she added.

      It gives 400 million reasons to consider the treacherous nature of a corrupt fool.

    3. It’s corruption. Pure and simple. If any politician deserves a free luxury plane it’s Pete Buttigieg for his work on passenger protections. Where is his plane, Qatar?

    4. Potential-Catch4833 on

      Everyone knows he can be bribed and even bought but NOW they take offense to his behavior when they don’t like who owns him? It’s laughable!

    5. most MAGA I know personally love it. but they hated Obama for the cash for clunkers program. and being muslim

    6. MAGA doesn’t hate the grift and bribes their dotard exploits via the Presidency.

      They hate Muslims and Arabs. That’s the only thing any supposed pushback from them is actually about.

      if anything it makes trump look like Qatar’s servant. Think of like a college sports star before the NCAA changed compensation where like all the sudden their mom was loaded and driving fancy cars and living in a big house. You think that person is anything but going to wear that university’s gear or do anything but what is in the best interest of that university? It says bought and paid for.

      The DOTUS (Dictator of The United States) is corrupt to his core. The Orange Toddler doesn’t possess the integrity or ethics to understand why people are pissed. He can’t see past his greed.

      If you doubt this headline, which you should, head over to asktrumpsupporters. There’s a thread on this. Last time I looked 100% of them didn’t have an issue with it. Some even blaming Biden and Obama somehow.

    10. I’ll never listen to a republican complain about government corruption ever again.

    11. UncomfyPerspective on

      Not the Reddit MAGA though. The few that are upset at the thought are ‚fellow conservative‘ types. I even saw a post something to the tune of „The left will try to spin this as a bribe“ and I must have blinked 84 times.

    12. Alarming_Monk8578 on

      Not the MAGA faithful. That’s a blatant lie. They adore the criminal.

    13. Isn’t there a story about exactly this sort of thing? Numidian goat? Mongolian beef? Oh! Trojan Horse! Duh! No free lunches in geopolitics. This plane is NOT free.

    14. Str3ssReducer on

      Qatar just wants Sharia Law imposed in exchange. No big deal.

      Good job, MAGA, you played yourself.

    15. IJustLoggedInToSay- on

      I don’t know who are these people.

      Nearly everyone in my life is MAGA, family, neighbors, coworkers. Not one of them is upset by the plane, the think it’s great. A sign that America is „respected and prosperous again.“ „No government would ever kiss Biden’s or Obama’s ass this way! Kamala would be giving _Qatar_ airplanes!“

      And of course, they love how it „triggers the left.“

    16. You guys are completely forgetting about the emails. Where are the emails?!?

      >“even the MAGA faithful“

      This is BS. All one has to do is go to the conservative sub and see what they are saying about it. Over there it’s already been deemed fake news created by a lie. Even though Trump just about confirmed the veracity of this via his tweets.

    18. This is insane. Air force one is special for a lot of reasons unrelated to luxury.

      Its got missile defense systems, ECM, and military comms., It can be mid-air refueled, Its hardened against EMP.

      Its got its own mini hospital.

      This „gift“? Its a suicide pact for a president. Someone will take it out with a home built rocket. Or a cheeseburger will give him a heart issue he would have survived in AF1. this is just dumb to accept on so many levels.

      Right now his secret service lead is probably having heart issues.

    19. MyNameIsRay on

      Just a reminder: The reason AF1 is still an old plane, instead of the new one that was expected to be delivered between 2021-2024, is because Trump personally negotiated the deal back in 2018 and fucked it up.

      [https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/27/politics/boeing-air-force-one-donald-trump](https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/27/politics/boeing-air-force-one-donald-trump)

      Another reminder: The plane itself isn’t the issue. The actual planes for AF1 were completed years ago. What has taken years is the process of turning those planes into a secure mobile command center. AF1 is hardened against EMP’s, can refuel in-flight, has a defense suite, has secure communications, has it’s own medical facility with a literal operating room and permanent doctor onboard, etc.

    20. They’ll come around when FOX News tells them how to justify this particular example of corruption.

    21. Sometimes I think he’s the greatest con artist to ever live, but I see his supporters doing back flips to justify this and wonder if they are the most gullible people to ever live.
