@pbsnews: Qatar gifting Trump $400M luxury jet raises ethical and legal concerns President Trump says the U.S. government is poised to accept an airplane from Qatar valued at nearly $400 million. He claims the 747 aircraft will replace the 40-year-old Air Force One. But the announcement has raised ethical and national security concerns. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Kathleen Clark, a government ethics expert and professor at Washington University School of Law. #qatar #qatargift #trumpjet #donaldtrump #trumpnews #luxuryjet #newshour #Pbsnewshour #pbsnews
That’s illegal fed employees can’t even get gifts over $10 🤦🏾♀️

I wonder how much money and how long it would take to make the airplane viable to be used as Air Force 1

If the constitution includes this, why are politicians allowed to receive money from lobbyists?

A gift to the Dept of Defense wouldn’t get transferred to Trump at the end of his term. This is a bribe.

WE COULD BUY 3 OF THESE JETS EVERY 2 YEARS WITH THE $1.2 BILLION PBS WAS GETTING FROM TAX PAYERS OR WE COULD BUY 2,400 HOUSES AT $500,000 EACH WITH THAT $1.2 BILLION EVERY 2 YEARS..WE COULD GIVE TEACHERS, HEALTHCARE WORKERS, POLICE & FIRE EMPLOYEES LOWEST INTEREST RATES OR PAY DOWN SCHOOL LOANS FOR NEW TEACHERS, HEALTHCARE WORKERS WITH THAT $1.2 BILLION EVERY 2 YEARS...TIME FOR CONGRESS TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR TAX PAYERS NOT CORPORATIONS

I could literally write my representatives and congress people daily about the bs that’s happening but instead I only have the energy and time to do it weekly. I encourage you to do the same. It’s tiring but important

its going to cost several millions, if not close to a billion to retrofit. ALSO, that plane is 13yrs old, the same age as the 2 current aircrafts being used for AF1 at the moment. there is NO need for this

They can justify this every which way but it doesn’t help the growing perception of Trump as an authoritarian prone to corruption
