Blatant ≠ legal

No corruption here, no siree.

As President Donald Trump boarded his inaugural flight on the new Air Force One, a luxury jet donated by the government of Qatar, he shared his excitement for the new aircraft and its foreign builders, saying the US “couldn’t build a plane like this.”

Sir sir sir are you aware that you’re not supposed to accept bribes?

“I’m excited about the first flight,” he told reporters ahead of his trip to North Dakota on Wednesday for an America 250 celebration.

Sir sir sir you’re not allowed to accept bribes.

The new jet, an unconditional gift estimated to be worth about $400 million, has generated legal, ethical and national security questions. 

Just slightly.

Trump, who is expected to use the jet until a new US-built aircraft is finished in about two years, said there has “never been a plane like it.”

“Frankly, we couldn’t build a plane like this because we wouldn’t be willing to spend the kind of money necessary. They spent top dollars,” he said of the Qataris.

Yes, sir, and that’s called a bribe. It’s corrupt. It’s illegal. It’s not allowed. You’re not supposed to be doing it. Bragging about it in public doesn’t make it legal.

    The US couldn’t build a plane like this? Does he know where the Boeing 747-8 was made?

    That’s pretty funny. Boeing manufactures aircraft in Washington State. In fact there are no aircraft manufacturers in the Middle East at all. USA, Canada, parts of Europe, yes, the Middle East, no. Trump’s ignorance is boundless.
