He is not only the most corrupt man in history to occupy that office, he is at least partially senile.

 

Most people commenting on this forum on Trump are "corrupt".

 

Misinformation is a form of corruption.

 

Pushing your bias incessantly like pitbulls out for blood, while completely ignoring and not acknowledging any positive developments. And not able or willing to see anything objectively.

You pretty much nailed it. You got me on Poof Daddy, but he probably prefers Poofter Daddy now. 

 

A few more:

 

Highest cost of healthcare.

Highest number of homeless. 

Highest carbon footprint per household.

Mostly from listening to me? I guess you have trouble comprehending what others write here. Tell me, where do I have low moral standards? I've raised, and still are raising, 6 children. I treat women very well. No cheating, abuse or neglect, including my girlfriend here of over 4 years. I believe in God, treat animals well, and don't purchase women. Also, I don't drive drunk, let alone brag about it here on AN like someone we know. 

 

Jerry Springer shows are stupid entertainment, like many other immoral pop stars, Madonna being one. Pop stars like them are everywhere, including here and in England. Remember Benny Hill? The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are about real life, and people love them, as you can see in the ratings, again, just like your immoral Benny Hill and many comedians from there.

 

I won't make excuses for the mass shootings but Thailand has a lot also, and is slowly catching up in shootings, with intentional homicides higher than the US. 

 

High divorce rates are in a lot of countries, UK not too far behind the US. 2.3 to 1.7. 

 

Your "unnecessary wars" are the reason you're living free now, although some were unnecessary, not all were, as history has proven. 

 

So you don't stay in denial, look at your own countries crime rates and immorality before you judge a country you've never visited, let alone lived in. Every country, including yours, has it's share of nutjobs, pedophiles, perverts and bad politicians. And you're the one who watches Jerry Springer, not I.

With one of the highest populations comes a higher number of things going wrong. As far as homeless rates, not near what many other countries have...............https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_homeless_population

It will never be used as AF1.  Any aircraft that is designatd as AF1 has specific requirements that the Qatari BBJ(Boeing Business Jet) does not meet.  In order upgrade the Qatari BBJ will take a lot money and time.  It's just optics and nothing substantial.  Any AF! (B757 or B747) has to operate like a flying White House situation room.  Also, AF1 has specific defensive counter measures that an ordinary B747 cannot be uprgaded to.

Are you senile? How would you know you are not?

When gossiping old biddies are called out, they deflect. You're proving my point yet again.

It is just the state of the US. Excepting "Hand me downs".

The American people voted for their clown, and correct, they are as sharp as a balloon. 
They don’t care about bribery and corruption, Americans have low moral standards and will do anything they can to win going back to the slave days.

They will never change. They think the clown is winning for their country, the rest of the world see Trump as plundering the country for his own benefit.

But as long as they are happy, that is all that matters. It is not as if they do not know what he was like before they voted for him. 
Their choice.

Yep, all those Americans. Except for the 75 million who voted for Kamala Harris, and so many of those who couldn't or didn't vote.

He doesn't need them to buy him a plane to bribe him. That's what the $TRUMP coin is for. 

plus the "luxury villas" (read 20 million USD each) plus golf resort - so much for the Trump screaming about the Biden family 5 million scheme.  Just have to love these Meglamaniacs who feel they can ignore laws if they can still make some more money off it!  I sure hope all the MAGotts are happy now that they have to put up with the looming recession while the rich are not going to really be affected at all. IMHO anyway.

[Colki]

And just to prevent any confusion there is a stipulation in the agreement that states.. .four months prior to the ending of Trumps presidency the plane ownership is to be transferrred to some entity like the Trump Library Trust Foundation that ex presidents seem to establish for some reason.

So now Trump’s gettin’ gifted a bloody $400 million jet by the Qatari royal family, yeah? A gold-plated sky palace with leather seats, diamond bog handles, and a minibar that probably stocks MAGA-branded champagne. And the bloke wants to use it as Air Force One. You what? That’s not diplomacy, mate. That’s FIFA levels of grift. At this point he’s not just runnin’ for president for a 3rd term, he’s auditionin’ for the next season of Dubai Bling.

 

They’re callin’ it a “gift to the Air Force,” which is like sayin’ your mate bought your missus a necklace “for the family.” Nah bruv, we all know who’s wearin’ it. But course, Trump’s out here screamin’ “IT’S FREE! A BEAUTIFUL GIFT!” on that bin fire of a social media app he runs, like that makes it less dodgy. Mate, the U.S. Constitution has a thing called the Emoluments Clause. Bit of a clue there. Says you can’t be takin’ gifts from foreign governments unless Congress gives the nod. And last I checked, Qatar weren’t on the PTA.

 

Now I’m no lawyer, but even I know if you’re swannin’ round in a foreign-funded flying mansion while makin’ policy, that’s what we call bribery. You don’t need a Harvard law degree to clock that. It’s like lettin’ a geezer buy you a pint and then pretendin’ it didn’t affect your opinion when he asks for your Netflix password. Except instead of a pint it’s a 747, and instead of Netflix it’s access to the leader of the free world.

 

And don’t think this is just a cheeky perk. This is Trump basically auctionin’ off the White House parking spot. Qatar donates a jet, and what, they get to pick who runs CENTCOM next? It’s corruption in first class. It’s Article II of the Constitution meetin’ Qatari air miles. It’s him doin’ international law violations with in-flight snacks.

 

Bloke down the pub last night, MAGA hat wearin' plonker, bald eagle tattoo on his calf, thinks NATO is a brand of breakfast cereal, tells me, “This just proves how much world leaders respect Trump.” Respect? Mate, they’re takin’ the piss. They’re butterin’ him up like a Christmas turkey with five-star freebies cos they know all you gotta do is flatter him and he’ll give away Alaska. Say he’s got big hands and next thing you know, Qatar’s got a missile base in Florida.

 

And the worst bit? His fans lap it up like it’s the Sermon on the Mount. “It’s a gift! He deserves it!” No mate, he deserves a criminal inquiry and a bus pass. This ain’t leadership. This is what you get when you let a timeshare salesman run a superpower.

 

But fair play, if Trump ever does rolls up to the G7 in his Qatari jet, don’t act surprised when the in-flight safety briefing includes “how to dodge subpoenas while inflight.”

POTUS is a legal entity Not an oracle

Amazing how some/you people fall for this tactic time and again. Trump nearly always throws in an outrageous comment at the start of any negotiation/discussion in order to stir things up a bit, and catch any opposition off guard. In this case you can be sure he will not be accepting the offer of an aircraft from Qatar. but he will string the Qataris along for a while, maybe picking up some useful info in the process. It will give some of you a further chance to froth and fulminate about how  appalled you are at the behaviour of your President during his second term of office. Meantime, lighten up and enjoy the rest of your day !
